A van standing still costs a working day. Commercial tyres carrying the right load rating reach the yard, a Long Lawford driveway or a bay at Junction One, and go on there.
Freight is the trade here. Drivers loading at DIRFT and the Crick warehouses pick their way through the M6 junction 1 and M1 junction 18 slip roads, while trades from Cawston and Clifton upon Dunsmore start the day on A5e A426 and finish somewhere off the A5. Loaded to the roof, a van leans on every tyre far harder than a car does, and yard screws, kerbed sidewalls and steady wear on a heavily laden rear axle bring the phone call.
Read us the sidewall and the right tyre arrives. Beyond the size sits the letter C, seen as 235/65 R16C, the sign of a commercial casing, then the index numbers for load, often a pair like 109/107 where twin rear wheels are an option, then the speed letter. A registration does just as well. What we bring meets that load figure or goes above it, gets balanced beside the van, and is inflated to the door pillar plate.
Yards and unit forecourts around Brownsover, driveways in Houlton, Bilton and Dunchurch, and the level surface bays at Elliott's Field or Junction One. Rugby station's north car park suits a van left overnight. Never on the M6, the M45 or a slip road.

Getting a jack under a laden van calls for hard, level ground. Concrete at a Brownsover unit or a Houlton driveway does it; a soft verge on a Clifton upon Dunsmore lane does not, and shifting a few heavy items out of the back first takes strain off the jack. Battery packs make an electric van heavier than its size implies, so treat the index on the old tyre as a floor and check the noise grade printed on the label.
