Two questions settle an emergency replacement. Can the tyre be saved, and is your size aboard the van. The first is answered as soon as the wheel comes off: cords on show, a cut through the wall, a chunk missing from the shoulder or a casing cooked by being driven flat all point the same way, and no honest fitter patches any of them. The second you can answer before anyone sets off, by reading the sidewall to us over the phone. After that it is simple. The tyre goes on where the car is parked, is balanced beside it, and is set to the torque figure the maker publishes. You can have budget, mid-range or premium, the figure is settled before the wheel comes off, you pay on the spot by card or phone, and the dead tyre leaves with us. In EC1 that is normally quicker than waiting for a recovery truck to fight its way through the one-way system.
The gap between "needs replacing" and "needs replacing now" is usually a journey you cannot move. A run on Farringdon Road on a tyre that is already down to the markers is not a risk worth taking. Whether it is Exmouth Market in rush hour or Goswell Road at midnight, we answer. On Goswell Road, day or night, Exmouth Market included, arrival across EC1R runs 30 to 60 minutes. An EC1R address in Farringdon Road and one in the Amwell Street area are the same round.

The streets here were laid out long before anybody imagined a car needing a bay to be worked on, and a recovery truck in a narrow one-way is a slow business for everyone behind it. Fitting the tyre where the car already stands, whether that is Clerkenwell Green or a yard off Goswell Road (A1), avoids turning your problem into the street's problem.
A pothole edge opened the sidewall and the tyre emptied within a few hundred yards. The driver stopped at the first safe kerb rather than pressing on, which saved the wheel if not the tyre. A replacement in the same size went on there and the car drove away properly balanced.
A car in a loading bay with a shredded tyre and a limited window before it became somebody else's problem. We got there, fitted and torqued the replacement and had the vehicle legal and moving inside that window, which is not something a workshop appointment could have achieved.
A tyre destroyed on the way in to a late shift, with the car needed again first thing. Nothing local opened in between. The replacement went on where the vehicle had been abandoned for the night, so the morning began normally instead of with phone calls.
It is moulded into the sidewall as a string of numbers and letters, something like 205 55 R16 91V. Read all of it out when you ring and there is no guesswork at either end.
Usually. Old yards and gated parking are everywhere around here and we work in them regularly. Tell us about the access when you call so the right approach is planned rather than improvised.
Not if it is a sensible match for its partner on the same axle in size, type and remaining tread. Where it would matter, on all wheel drive cars in particular, we say so before fitting rather than after.
The tyre, the fitting, the balancing, the new valve where one is needed and taking the old tyre away. You hear the whole figure before the work begins and nothing is added afterwards.
Two years of protection comes with every new tyre against manufacturing faults. Keep your paperwork and run the pressures listed on the door plate and that stands behind you.
