Vans based on the units off the Woodside Link start early and use the link road all day. A tyre matched to the load index is brought to the yard or the drive in LU5.
Van tyres take a battering here because of the route the day takes. Out of a unit off the Woodside Link or a Dunstable industrial estate, onto the A5505 for M1 J11a, then home through Tithe Farm over the humps with the load still on board. Debris off the link road causes the punctures; the humps and estate kerbs finish off the sidewalls.
Choose by load rather than by the look of the old casing. The doorframe plate names the size and the load index the axle needs, and a C or reinforced marking on the sidewall tells the same story. Send us both, say what the van usually hauls and where it is parked, and the correct casing is fitted, balanced and torqued on the spot.
Unit yards and staff parking off the Woodside Link work well, along with drives at Tithe Farm, Parkside, Bidwell and Linmere. Bedford Square bays are too short, and no work happens on the A5505 link road or at M1 J11a.

The lift is what sets the ground rules. A van with its load aboard puts real weight on a jack, so firm and level is essential: a yard off the Woodside Link or a Parkside driveway answers, a cambered kerb does not. Shift heavy gear away from the bad corner where you can. Electric vans weigh more again and need tyres rated accordingly, plus any noise figure the maker lists.
