Minworth is awake before most of the town, and a van on a flat holds the whole round up. Covers rated for the weight come to the unit, the plot or your B73 drive.
Sutton Coldfield's industry sits at the Minworth end, trading estates strung along Kingsbury Road with the toll road junctions feeding them. Builders make for Walmley and New Hall, courier vans grind through the Wylde Green and Boldmere terraces, and contractors fill the roads around Good Hope. Every one of them runs heavy, which squares off a back axle early and turns any screw lying on an estate roadway or a half-finished close into a phone call.
Take a look at the sidewall before you dial. Commercial rubber puts a C straight after the size, 195/75 R16C being one you see often, and then a load figure, doubled up when the van wears twin wheels at the rear, and a speed letter at the end. Car-derived vans may carry XL instead. Read it across or hand over the registration; what arrives at Minworth equals or tops that, mounted, balanced, inflated to the door plate.
Unit forecourts and yards through the Minworth estates, drives in Walmley, Reddicap Heath and Streetly, and quieter kerbs just off Boldmere High Street. Never the toll road or the A38 itself, and the Red Rose multi-storey limits height.

About van tyre fitting nationwide → · Van tyre fitting on the Sutton Coldfield page
Surface decides how the lift goes. Concrete inside a Minworth unit yard or one of the broad Four Oaks drives will hold a jack all day; a soft verge on Kingsbury Road or churned ground on a Walmley plot will not. Where the back is piled with materials, moving some of it forward or out steadies things. Electric vans weigh more again, so the old cover's rating is the floor, and its noise grade is worth a look.
