Sometimes there is nothing to save.
That depends almost entirely on the size code, so it is the first thing we ask for. The full string off the sidewall, something like 205/55 R16 91V, tells us the section width, the profile, the rim diameter, the load index and the speed rating. We carry the common car, van and SUV fitments on the van and can get hold of most of the rest the same day. What we will not do is fit something close but not correct, because a lower load index on a loaded vehicle or a mismatched speed rating is a failure waiting to happen.
The other thing worth knowing before we arrive is what is on the opposite corner, because tyres want to match across an axle.
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 Tolworth and fit it where it stands, balanced, valve checked, pressures set. The B284, the A3 and the streets around Hook sit inside Greater London. Pressures set before we leave Malden Rushett, and the same on the B284. A Claygate driveway is our workshop, and so is a Southborough kerb.

The A3 and the A243 either side of Chessington are where the unsalvageable damage tends to happen, because impact at speed breaks a casing in a way a nail never does. When a tyre is beyond repair the useful thing is the size code off the sidewall. Read it to us over the phone and we can usually leave with the correct replacement already in the van.
A driver clipped a raised kerb on the Leatherhead Road hard enough to open the sidewall and mark the rim. The tyre was finished. We fitted the matching size from stock at the roadside and pointed out the rim damage so it could be looked at separately.
A car near Malden Rushett needed one replacement but had two very different tyres on the front already. We fitted a matching pair rather than adding a third pattern to a car that was pulling under braking because of it.
A works van from the industrial estate had a destroyed rear tyre. The size was common but the load index was not, and the cheaper option in that size would not have carried what the van carries. We brought the correct commercial fitment out instead.

Really responsive and pleasant too. I WhatsApped in the morning rush hour, got an honest quote, an updated ETA with traffic, and he changed my tyre. Would highly recommend.
Just been helped by Abdul. The best customer service experience ever. He went far above and beyond what we expected. An example for everyone to follow.
Abdul was super quick getting to me, literally within 30 minutes, and super quick sorting my car out. Very polite and checked I was OK. Highly recommend.
Most likely. The popular car, SUV and light commercial sizes travel with us. Read the whole code off the sidewall when you call and we will tell you straight away whether it is on board or whether we need to collect it first.
Not always, but tyres should match across an axle in size, pattern and condition. If the tyre on the other side is sound and similar, one is fine. If it is a different make with half the tread left, a pair is the honest answer.
We say so rather than fitting something that only nearly matches. In most cases there is an equivalent in the correct size, load index and speed rating that we can get the same day, and we will explain the difference before anything goes on.
On a van or a loaded estate, very much. The load index is what the tyre is certified to carry at pressure. Dropping below the manufacturer's figure to save money is one of the few tyre decisions that is genuinely unsafe rather than merely inadvisable.
It leaves with us for recycling at no extra charge. Nothing is left behind on your driveway, in the car park or on the verge, and there is no disposal fee added at the end of the job.
