Hodge Hill vans reach the M6 at J5 along Fort Parkway, passing Fort Dunlop and The Fort Shopping Park. When a van tyre is damaged, its load-rated replacement is fitted on level ground nearby.
Vans are part of daily life beside the A47 link to M6 J5: deliveries into The Fort Shopping Park, calls at Fort Dunlop, and trades who keep a van at home on Coleshill Road or the Firs estate. Nothing on Fort Parkway offers a place to pull in until the roundabout, and the estate roads carry raised kerbs and speed cushions that punish a laden van's sidewalls on every tight turn.
A van tyre's sidewall carries the size, a C for commercial construction and the load index the vehicle needs. Send us both and a tyre at that rating or above is brought out. Lifting a van calls for heavier equipment and solid tarmac, so a driveway, a level court or a car park bay is used rather than a verge. The tyre is fitted and balanced, the wheel torqued and the old casing taken away. Hodge Hill van owners get the price upfront.
Firm tarmac is what a van needs: a Coleshill Road drive, a solid shared court at the Firs, or a corner of the shopping park car park away from the entrances. Fort Parkway, the J5 roundabout and grass verges are out.

About van tyre fitting nationwide → · Van tyre fitting on the Hodge Hill page
Electric delivery vans using Fort Parkway and the M6 are heavy, so the replacement must carry the load index the manufacturer lists. They are quiet, so the tyre label's noise class is worth comparing between options. If the van has run flat on Fort Parkway, the fitter checks the sidewall before deciding on a repair or a replacement. Say it is electric when you call and whether it is still loaded.
