A tradesperson's van parked on a Moseley drive earns nothing with a flat tyre. The correct C-rated tyre for its load index is brought to B13 and fitted where the van stands.
Moseley is residential, so the vans needing tyres here mostly work from home: a builder parked on a Wake Green avenue before a job, a courier finishing a round of the village, a decorator loading up on Salisbury Road. The tall kerbs and speed humps that trouble cars are harder on a loaded van, and a shoulder chewed on the St Mary's Row loop can end the working day before it has started.
A van's tyres differ from a car's in more than size. Most carry a C after the rim diameter, meaning commercial construction, and a load index suited to a van hauling tools or parcels. The fitter reads the full code from your sidewall, brings a tyre that matches or exceeds that rating, lifts the van with a jack suited to its weight and balances the wheel before refitting. Moseley van owners are quoted in full on that first call.
A level drive or a firm stretch of kerb on the wider Wake Green and Swanshurst Park roads suits a van. Soft verges, steep avenue drives and the tight one-way section around St Mary's Row do not.

Electric vans parked on Moseley drives need the same attention plus a little more. Their batteries make them heavy, so the load rating on the replacement matters as much as on any diesel, and with no engine note the tread's own roar is easier to hear, which makes the noise rating on the tyre label worth comparing. Tell us whether the van is electric when you ring, and whether it is loaded, since an emptied van lifts more safely.
Van tyres for Moseley trades, matched to the load index and fitted on your drive or street.
