Vans leaving Bessemer Road or the Tewin Road units for the A1(M) at J4 carry weight every day. When a tyre gives up, a correctly rated one is fitted in the Welwyn Garden City yard.
Working vans in Welwyn Garden City gather on the industrial side of the railway, around Broadwater Road, Bessemer Road and Tewin Road, and overnight on drives in Hatfield Hyde, Panshanger and Woodhall. From there most make for A1(M) J4 or J6, or run east on the A414 towards Hertford. Screws and swarf around the industrial units find van tyres, and rear tyres carrying heavy stock wear down sooner.
Replacement van tyres must be commercial grade. Read the sidewall: a letter C follows the diameter, and there are two load figures separated by a slash, covering single and twin rear wheel use, with reinforced sometimes printed too. Send a photo with the registration and AL postcode, and a Garden City van gets a tyre whose rating is no lower than the maker's, fitted and balanced where it is parked.
Yards off Broadwater Road and Bessemer Road, garage courts and drives in Hatfield Hyde and Panshanger all work. The Howard Centre car park has a height barrier, so the fitting van cannot follow a van inside.

A laden van is lifted with a heavy trolley jack on firm, even concrete or tarmac, which Bessemer Road yards and most AL7 driveways offer. A van crammed with stock is safer to lift once some of it is out. Electric vans carry heavy battery packs and should run tyres with enough load capacity, and many owners compare the noise grading too. Welwyn Garden City prices are agreed on the phone.
