A van sitting on a flat outside a B69 unit earns nothing all day. Covers rated for what it carries get fitted where it stands, in the yard, at the site or on the drive at home.
Oldbury is still a working town and the units along the A457 Oldbury Road and the canal keep plenty of vans moving between Birchley Island and the M5. Those yards shed screws, banding and offcuts that find rear tread, the older Rounds Green and Brades Village streets have kerbs that bite sidewalls, and a van loaded every morning burns through a back pair well ahead of the fronts.
Most of what we need is stamped on the tyre wall. Past the size you want the C that denotes a commercial build, the load figures, a higher one where each rear corner runs a lone wheel and a lower one for twins, and the letter giving the rated speed. Relay those or the registration, and the fitter turns up with a cover rated no lower, fits it where the van has stopped, balances it and sets the pressures the maker specifies.
Unit yards along the Oldbury Road and the canal with the site's say so, forecourts in Tividale and Brades Village, and drives across Warley, Bristnall and Whiteheath. Not the station operator's bays without asking, and never on the M5.

A laden van will not be lifted off anything soft. The concrete apron at an Oldbury Road unit or a Tividale yard is right for it; a canal bank or a Langley terrace with a camber on it is not. Pulling the heavy stock out eases the jack's work. An electric van is deceptively weighty, so its load figure stays where it is, and on the label the noise class repays a look.
Oldbury van tyres fitted at the unit or the drive. Ring 07473 720871 with the size.
