A van off the road in Southam means jobs slipping. Load-rated tyres matching its sidewall are brought to the Kineton Road industrial estate, a yard near Napton or the drive at home.
Plenty of Southam working days start early on the A423, heading for sites around Coventry or Banbury, or out along the A425 towards Daventry. Tradespeople whose vans live in CV47 carry loads that squash a tyre harder than any family car does, and farm tracks near Ladbroke and Stockton add flints and stubble to the mix. A van tyre that goes soft overnight in a Kineton Road yard leaves tools stranded and a customer waiting.
Van tyres are a different build. Most carry a C on the sidewall after the rim size, marking a commercial construction with stiffer walls, or an XL or reinforced stamp, and each has a load index that must meet or beat the van's own. Read the full code, for example 235/65 R16C 115/113R, when you call, plus the registration. The fitter brings the matching tyre, and the total is confirmed on that call before anything is fitted.
Firm yards on the Kineton Road industrial estate suit the work well, as do drives off Daventry Road. A farmyard near Ladbroke is fine if it has hardstanding. Narrow Market Hill bays and grass verges beside the A423 are not.

Lifting a loaded Southam van takes firm, level ground under the jack: concrete at a Kineton Road unit or a flat drive, not a soft farm gateway on a slope near Napton on the Hill. Taking heavy kit out first helps. Electric vans weigh more for their size because of the battery, so their tyres need the load index the maker specifies, and the listed noise rating is worth matching too. Mention an electric van on the call so the correct tyre is loaded.
Soft tyre on a Southam work van? Call, and a commercial tyre goes on in the yard or at home.
