When a tyre cannot be saved the job changes shape. It stops being about speed and becomes about getting exactly the right tyre to the exact spot the car is standing in.
So the call starts at the sidewall. Read us the whole code, something like 245/35 R20 95Y XL, along with the make and model of the car. The load index and the speed rating are part of the specification rather than optional detail, and on a heavy SUV or a fast saloon, dropping below either is a safety matter and not merely a fussy one.
We carry a broad range of the common sizes on the van and can source most of the rest the same day. If yours is on board we fit and balance at the bay, set the pressures and take the old tyre away for recycling. If it is not on board, you will be told that on the phone rather than after an hour of waiting.
6mm across the central three-quarters is illegal, and the penalty is per tyre. Where a tyre is genuinely past it, we bring the correct size out to the car in Brompton and fit it where it stands, balanced, valve checked, pressures set. Ring at 3am from Cheyne Walk and someone answers; Fulham Road at noon is no different. A 4am Sloane Square call and a noon World's End call reach the same fitter.

The unusual thing about replacing tyres in Chelsea is not the fitting, it is the specification. Twenty inch rims, staggered axles, run-flats and heavy hybrids all narrow the choice, and getting it wrong is expensive. Read the sidewall to us before we load the van and the right tyre arrives at the bay the car is already parked in.
The rear tyres on this car were two sizes wider than the fronts, which is normal on a lot of performance saloons and catches people out. Only the rear pair needed doing. Fitting the front size to the back would have been quicker and would also have been wrong.
A large plug-in estate had been quoted a tyre with a load rating below what the car actually needs. Battery weight matters. We fitted the correct index instead, which cost slightly more and is the only version of the job that should have happened.
A car off Sloane Street lost a front tyre with three millimetres left on its partner. Replacing only one would have left a large tread depth difference across a driven axle. The owner chose to do the pair once we had measured both and explained what the gap does under braking.

Was stuck on a Sunday and needed a new tyre. Very quick response and friendly, helpful fix.
The guy I spoke to on the phone was very friendly and understanding, especially as having two tyres needing to be replaced was quite stressful. He arrived quickly, talked me through everything, and gave me honest advice. He also went above and beyond by checking other things on the car and explaining the condition of all my tyres.
I have an electric car, and it was very difficult to find the right tire in an emergency. Ali came incredibly quickly, almost at midnight, and got the job done very fast. He was extremely friendly, professional, and helpful, and really went above and beyond to help me when I needed it most.
Find the raised code on the sidewall. It runs width, profile, rim, then a number and a letter, for instance 225/40 R19 93Y. Read the whole thing including any XL or run-flat marking, and tell us the car as well, because that catches mistakes before a van sets off.
Not necessarily, though we would keep a pair on the same axle matched in brand and pattern. Mixing across the axle changes how the two sides grip in the wet, which is felt most on a fast wet slip road rather than on the King's Road at ten miles an hour.
Only with your eyes open. A run-flat car often has no spare and no jack at all, so a conventional tyre leaves you with nothing to fall back on. It also changes the ride noticeably. If you want to switch, do it as a set rather than one corner at a time.
Rarely. Axle pairs matter far more than sets of four. The exception is a four wheel drive car, where several manufacturers require the circumference of all four to be close, and a single new tyre against three worn ones can load the transmission.
We tell you on the phone and give you a realistic time to get it, which for most sizes is the same day. If a tyre genuinely cannot be got hold of quickly, you will hear that too, rather than have a fitter arrive and shrug at the kerb.
