Gunnels Wood Road runs the length of Stevenage's industrial side, and plenty of vans start there. When one has a tyre gone, Stevenage fitting puts a suitably load-rated tyre on beside the van in that yard.
Vans in Stevenage cluster along Gunnels Wood Road, between Roaring Meg and the Old Town end, and in garage courts across Bedwell, Shephall and Pin Green. From there they take the A1(M) at J7 or J8, or the A602 towards Ware. Steel offcuts on the industrial roads and nails from the Great Ashby building sites puncture van tyres, and a heavy daily load wears rear tyres down.
Look at the van's sidewall: a C next to the rim size identifies commercial construction, while the load index gives two figures, single wheel then twin wheel. Some sidewalls also say reinforced. Send that full code with the registration and SG postcode, and the fitter brings a tyre with an equal or higher load index, fits it, balances it, and removes the damaged or worn one.
Yards along Gunnels Wood Road, the Roaring Meg retail park and garage courts or service roads across the neighbourhoods all work. Multi-storey car parks in the centre are not suitable because of low headroom.

About van tyre fitting nationwide → · Van tyre fitting on the Stevenage page
Stevenage suits van work well, since the New Town was built with service roads and courts where a van can be lifted on flat tarmac. A heavy jack is used, and a van full of stock is easier to lift partly unloaded. For electric vans the tyre must allow for battery weight, and the label shows a noise rating worth comparing. Prices for Stevenage jobs are confirmed on the call.
From Gunnels Wood Road to Great Ashby, Stevenage van tyres are fitted on site.
