Price up the alternative honestly. A recovery truck to lift the car off Bow Road, a day or two of it sitting in a yard, the garage picking the tyre rather than you, and two fares getting yourself home and back again. Set against that, one visit to the place where the car is already standing. When a tyre is finished it is finished: a cut down to the cords, a split across the tread, a bulge you can feel with a thumb. We arrive with the correct size, fit it, balance it, tighten it to the figure the maker specifies and take the dead one away with us. Budget, mid range and premium tyres are all on the van, and which one goes on is your decision, made before the job starts.
Some tyres are past the point of discussion: shredded, split, or worn below the legal limit with a journey due. At that stage the only thing that helps is the correct replacement, brought to where the car is and fitted properly. We carry stock on the van, so a call in E3 turns into a fitted, balanced tyre rather than an appointment. That happens on driveways in Bow Common, in work car parks and at the kerb on Roman Road. While the wheel is off we check the pressure sensor and look over the other three, because a car that has worn one tyre out is usually not far off doing it again. You end up legal and moving the same day.

Getting a car out of E3 to a fitting bay means the A11 and the flyover, and doing that on a wrecked tyre is not worth the risk or the extra damage. New tyres come to the permit bay outside your door, carry a two year warranty, and the old one leaves with us.
A blow out heading west on Mile End Road, the car pulled into the first side street with the tyre already shredded off the bead. There was no repair available and everyone knew it. The correct size came off the van, went on balanced and torqued, and the driver was moving again inside the hour.
A driver near Bethnal Green did everything right, jacked up the car and found the space saver had been sitting at zero for two years. Spares do that. One new tyre on the damaged corner solved it properly, and the space saver went back under the boot floor where it belongs.
Nothing local was open, the car was wanted for work on Monday and the tyre had a gash across the shoulder from a broken kerb. Sunday is a normal working day for us. Two matching tyres went on that axle, the old pair left with the van, and the card machine did the rest.
Not always. If the other tyre on that axle still has decent tread and no age damage, one on its own is fine. Where the remaining one is close to 1.6mm, matching the pair keeps the car braking evenly, and we will tell you honestly which situation you are in.
The full spread, from sensible budget rubber up to the premium names, in the common car, SUV and 4x4 fitments. If your size is unusual we will say so on the phone rather than turn up empty handed.
We take the size off your sidewall when you call, not from a guess about the model, which is what stops that happening. Read us the numbers and letters on the tyre wall and there is no ambiguity left.
Not automatically. Everything we fit is road legal and new. The difference shows up in wet grip and how long it lasts, so a budget tyre on a car doing three miles a week around E3 is a reasonable buy in a way it would not be on a motorway commuter.
Card or contactless at the roadside, once the work is finished and you have seen it. The number is agreed before anything is unbolted, so nothing changes between the phone call and the payment.
