Nails and swarf round the Peartree Lane units in Netherton punish van tyres, so Dudley vans get their load-rated replacements fitted in the yard, at the kerb or on the drive.
Dudley's working vans cluster in two places: industrial units such as those on Peartree Lane in Netherton, where metal offcuts and screws are a constant puncture risk, and home drives across Sedgley, the Gornals, Priory and Kates Hill. From there the routes run along the A4123 to M5 junction 2, down the A459 towards Halesowen, or out the A461 to Brierley Hill and Tipton. Steep streets load rear tyres hard, and a sidewall split halts the day.
The markings on a van tyre tell the fitter what to bring. Find the C after the rim size, which identifies a commercial tyre, the load index next to it, commonly shown as two numbers divided by a slash, and the speed letter. A replacement on a Dudley van must meet the door plate on each. Send the details and a photo, tell us whether it is at a unit or a house, and the price is agreed first.
Unit yards on Peartree Lane and elsewhere in Netherton with the owner's agreement, and level drives or kerbs in Sedgley, Priory, Kates Hill and Woodside. Not the pay-and-display centre car parks, Castle Gate or the A4123.

About van tyre fitting nationwide → · Van tyre fitting on the Dudley page
The fitter lifts vans with a jack rated for their weight and needs a hard, level surface, which a unit yard often gives more reliably than Dudley's hillside drives. Unloading stock helps. Where a drive in Upper Gornal slopes, the kerb on a flatter street may be better. Electric vans carry heavy batteries, so their tyres must have a load index that suits, and the label's noise figure is another thing owners compare.
