Production crews, trades and couriers leave Borehamwood on the A1 each morning. If a van tyre lets them down, its load-matched successor goes on at the unit, the studio or the drive.
Borehamwood's vans have distinctive work. Crew and equipment vans shuttle in and out of the Elstree studio lots, delivery vans serve Borehamwood Shopping Park and the Shenley Road shops, and trades set out along Elstree Way to the A1 and down Barnet Lane. Many head into Barnet, Edgware or Stanmore, where the ULEZ applies to vans as well as cars, so a van that is not compliant should not be driven there to find a tyre.
Read out the sidewall line, the size with its C marking, both load numbers and the speed letter, and tell us whether the van works empty or heavily loaded. The replacement brought out equals or beats those ratings; a car tyre that happens to fit the rim is never used. You hear the price for that size on the call, and payment waits until the tyre is on.
Units along Elstree Way, the Borehamwood Shopping Park car park with the site's say-so, studio car parks once the gatehouse knows, and firm drives in Hillside or Deacons Hill. On the A1, keep going to Elstree Way or Stirling Corner before stopping.

The van's weight sets the rules for where it can be lifted. Firm tarmac at a unit off Elstree Way, a flat studio bay or a level WD6 drive is right; a sloping kerb on the Cowley Hill estate is not. Unloading the heaviest kit helps. Electric vans, heavier than they look, need tyres rated for that mass, and the label's noise class is worth matching for a quiet van. Studio gatehouses must expect our van.
Keep the Borehamwood van moving. Ring with the tyre size and say where the van is parked.
