Burst Tyre Replacement in Reading
The hard shoulder has a procedure and it is worth knowing it before you need it.
Mobile burst tyre replacement across Reading
Then ring. Give the road, the direction of travel and the nearest marker post or junction, because on the M4 one stretch looks like the next. Do not attempt to change the wheel yourself: on a live motorway that is where people get hurt, and a space saver is a poor answer at the end of it anyway. The first call is 999, or National Highways on 0300 123 5000. A burst tyre cannot be repaired, so what you need next is somebody arriving with the correct size once the car is off the motorway. We attend around the clock and check the rim before fitting anything.
Once a tyre has gone, it has gone. The van carries stock for cars, SUVs and 4x4s, one call sets it moving, whether you are stopped near Tilehurst or miles from it, and the live ETA tells you when help actually arrives. Every street in Caversham, every close in Tilehurst, every junction on the M4. An Earley cul-de-sac or a Woodley main road, tell us which. A tight terrace in Whitley or a narrow bay on the A329(M) is usually workable.

Local knowledge across Reading
The A33 through Whitley feeds M4 traffic and the ring road junctions can snarl within minutes of an incident, so a car stopped on the shoulder around Reading is in a genuinely busy place. What keeps that situation safe is not speed of repair but where everybody is standing while they wait. Get behind the barrier, ring 999 or National Highways, and let the van come to the vehicle once it is off the motorway.
Burst Tyre Replacement call-outs we handle in Reading
Out on the nearside, up the bank
A family that lost a tyre on the M4 got everyone out on the left and well back behind the barrier. Twenty uncomfortable minutes and completely the right decision.
Someone stayed in the car
A passenger who preferred to wait inside near Junction 11 was talked out of it on the phone. A stationary vehicle on the shoulder is what gets struck.
Marker post given
A call that included the marker post number rather than a rough guess got help to the car far faster. On the motorway that detail is worth several minutes.

Burst Tyre Replacement in Reading, FAQs
The nearside, always, even if it means climbing across. Opening a door into a live lane is one of the most dangerous things you can do on a motorway.
Up the bank and behind the barrier, and back from the car rather than beside it, so anything coming onto the shoulder meets the vehicle first.
No. Working on the traffic side of a car on a live motorway is exactly the situation that causes serious injuries, and on most cars you would end up on a speed limited space saver anyway.
Which motorway, which way you were heading, the closest marker post or junction, the number plate, and the sidewall size if it is safe to look.
