Brackley vans run the A43 to the M40 and the A422 to Banbury. When a tyre goes, a load-rated commercial replacement is fitted in the works yard, on site or at your Radstone Fields home.
Brackley's position on the A43 makes it a handy base for trades covering Oxford, Banbury, Buckingham and Silverstone. Business premises off the bypass and around the town send vans out daily, and rural jobs around Evenley, Croughton and Hinton-in-the-Hedges mean gravel yards and farm tracks. When a commercial tyre picks up a screw from site work or splits on a stony track, the van cannot carry its load safely, and the working day in NN13 stalls.
Van tyres are identified by more than size. On a Brackley van, check for the C marking beside the rim diameter, or XL or reinforced, and the load index pair and speed letter that follow, for example 195/70 R15C 104/102R. The new tyre must match those ratings or exceed them. Read everything out, including the registration, when you ring. Cost gets settled while you are still on the line, and a tyre carrying the same markings comes out with the fitter.
Business yards off the A43 bypass, driveways in Radstone Fields and farm concrete around Evenley or Turweston suit van work. Grass verges, the High Street bays and the busy Market Place do not.

Jacking a working van needs flat, hard ground, because the load on the jack is far greater than with a car. A concrete yard off the bypass, a Radstone Fields drive or the leisure centre car park all work; a grass verge on the A422 does not. Take heavy tools out if it is simple to do. Electric vans carry big batteries, so the replacement follows the maker's load index and noise marking, keeping the van as its manufacturer intended.
