Heat is what kills a tyre, and underinflation is what makes the heat. A tyre carrying a car on half its proper pressure folds at the sidewall on every single revolution, and all that flexing turns into temperature inside the casing. Give it long enough and the layers begin to come apart from within, which you cannot see and would not feel until the day it lets go.
Which is why a puncture is a time problem before it is anything else. The clock that counts is not your appointment. It is how many miles the tyre covers soft. Reach us while it is still holding most of its air and there is usually a repair in it. Drive it across N17 in the traffic first and there often is not, because by then the inside of the casing tells a very different story from the outside.
The tyre is the small part of the problem. Losing a car for a day in N17 costs a school pick-up, a shift, a job you have already been paid for, and none of that is fixed by an appointment on Thursday. Valve in Bruce Grove, balance in West Green, pressures before we go. The wheel comes off in West Green, not on a ramp in Harringay. N17 takes in Northumberland Park and Bruce Grove, and we work the lot.

The temptation on the High Road is always to press on somewhere more convenient, and it is the single most expensive instinct in this trade. A car standing still with a soft tyre is a repair. The same car after twenty minutes of stop-start traffic frequently is not. Stopping early is worth a good deal more than reaching us early.
A driver at West Green rang the moment the warning light came on rather than after the school run. The tyre had covered almost no distance soft and was repaired without argument.
A car near Tottenham Hale station had been getting a top-up every couple of days. By the time it came off the rim the liner was scuffed all the way round and there was nothing to save.
A pressure light came on as a driver approached the North Circular. Coming off at the first opportunity rather than pressing on is what left something worth repairing.
As little as you possibly can. There is no safe number of miles, because it depends on the load, the speed and how much air is left in it. The honest answer is that every mile makes a repair less likely.
A grey, powdery scuffing right around the inner surface, often with loose rubber crumbs in the tyre. Once that is there the casing has been overheated and nothing can be bonded to it safely.
Not always. Cold weather drops pressures and so does a perished valve. It is worth checking rather than assuming, but a light that returns within a day or two usually means something is sitting in the tread.
Yes. Give us the address and roughly where in it you are and we work at the bay. Plenty of these repairs happen during the working day with the owner nowhere near the vehicle.
Then it gets replaced from the van in the same visit. You are told which way it is going before any money comes into it, and the ruined one leaves with us.
