Longbridge vans serve the new housing and offices on the old Rover works site and head out on the A38 to M5 J4, so tyres get fitted where the van is parked.
The redevelopment has brought building trades, delivery drivers and service vans into Longbridge every day, alongside the people in Austin Village and Rednal who park a van outside the house. New kerbs around the town centre, site debris near fresh housing and the climb up Lickey Road all take a toll on commercial tyres. When one fails, the van is usually on a drive, a residential kerb or a car park near the offices, and moving it is not an option.
Check the sidewall before you ring. A commercial tyre has a C printed right after the rim diameter, R15C or R16C for example, and a load index that is frequently a pair of numbers for single and twin wheel use. That rating, and the speed letter after it, must suit the van's door plate or handbook. Give us those markings, whether it is loaded, and where in Longbridge or Rednal it stands, and we confirm the price then.
Drives and wide kerbs in Austin Village and Rednal, a town centre car park bay with space around it, or a level area at an office on the works site if the managers allow it. Nowhere on the A38 dual carriageway.

About van tyre fitting nationwide → · Van tyre fitting on the Longbridge page
A van is heavier to raise than a car, heavier still with tools or parcels aboard, so the fitter lifts it with a jack rated for the weight and wants firm, level tarmac rather than gravel or grass. Emptying the back first helps. For an electric van, the replacement must carry the load its battery adds, and the tyre label shows the noise rating if a quieter tyre matters on residential Longbridge streets.
