You are three cars deep in the queue for the tunnel approach when the steering goes heavy and something starts slapping. There is nowhere to pull in and nobody behind you is pleased. Get off at the first turning you can reach, even slowly, then stop and phone. A tyre that is already scrap costs one tyre. The same tyre driven another mile on a rim costs a wheel as well, and possibly a recovery truck to get you out of a place where nothing can stop.
Give us the full sidewall code and the answer comes back quickly. Width, profile, rim size, then the load index and the speed rating, something like 225/45 R17 94W. From that we can tell you exactly what we can bring and when, anywhere in SE10. A tight terrace in Blackheath or a narrow bay on Blackwall Tunnel approach is usually workable. Steep camber in Westcombe Park? We move a few metres, Maze Hill or anywhere else.

Between the tunnel approach, the one-way system and the buses on Greenwich High Road, driving a damaged car anywhere in SE10 is the worst of the options available. We come to where it stopped, which is usually the only sensible plan on this side of the river.
The driver came off the approach and stopped on a residential street. The right size came out to the car, went on and was balanced in the road, tightened to the maker's setting, and the wreck left with us. No tow, no garage day.
A tyre destroyed against something in a car park. Because the car was already stationary and safe, the whole thing was a straightforward roadside swap and the owner carried on with the afternoon.
A ruined tyre in East Greenwich on a day when every fitting centre in SE10 was shut. It was replaced that afternoon, paid for by card at the kerb, and the family travelled as planned.
Typically 30 to 60 minutes here. The variable is always the tunnel traffic, and you will hear on the phone which way it is running rather than a guess.
There is genuine choice at three price levels, in whatever size your car, SUV or 4x4 wears. Read us the code off the sidewall, say what you are after, and the cost is named before any work begins.
It works in your favour. The car does not move at all, so you are not making a charged journey just to reach somebody with a ramp.
Only if you can do it somewhere flat and safe, which is not most of the streets round here. If you are on setts, on a slope or anywhere near a bus route, leave it and call.
It comes with us for recycling. It is not left with you and it is not an extra.
