Ladywood's vans run to building work around Icknield Port and deliveries into Broad Street, and a flat stops both. A casing with the load rating the van needs reaches the vehicle where it stands in B16.
Van work in B16 splits along the Middleway. West of it, the Icknield Port and Rotton Park side is builders' and trades' vehicles, and site debris is what goes through a tread. East of it, around Brindleyplace and the Utilita Arena, it is deliveries kerbing their wheels into tight loading spots and multi-storey ramps. Either way a laden van punishes a tyre far more than an empty one.
Send the sidewall code over in one piece, C marking and load index included, and check it against the plate in the door frame, because a van fitment has to carry the weight you actually put in. Tell us the street, the bay or the unit, whether it is inside the zone, and if a barrier or a permit is involved. The tyre is mounted, balanced, torqued and the pressures set before the fitter leaves.
A Spring Hill or Icknield Port kerb with room beside the wheel, a Ladywood estate permit bay, or a surface car park at Five Ways. Not on Broad Street, not in the Five Ways underpass, and not on the Middleway.

Lifting a working van wants firm flat ground, so a surface bay at Five Ways or a yard near Icknield Port suits better than a sloping estate turning. Non-compliant vans pay the same daily zone charge as cars once they are inside the ring road, so getting the job done on the Reservoir side keeps it simple. Electric vans need the load index their maker specifies.
