Two roads define this bit of Greater London and both of them are fast. The A3 Kennington Park Road runs hard towards Elephant and Castle, Camberwell New Road crosses with a steady stream of commuting traffic, and neither offers a comfortable place to stand about with a jack. When a tyre goes beyond saving on either of them, the immediate question is not which brand you fancy. It is getting the car safe and getting it moving again.
We bring the correct size to the car. It goes on the rim, it is balanced there and then, and the nuts are torqued to the figure the manufacturer publishes rather than to feel. There is a spread of choice: budget where the car is doing local miles, mid-range for most people, premium where the car deserves it. Every new tyre comes with a two year warranty, the figure is settled with you before a wheel is lifted, and the ruined one goes away in the van. Set against a recovery truck and a garage slot tomorrow afternoon, it is the cheaper end of a bad day.
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 Kennington Cross and fit it where it stands, balanced, valve checked, pressures set. A The Oval cul-de-sac or a Vauxhall main road, tell us which. Steep camber in Vauxhall? We move a few metres, the Cleaver Square area or anywhere else. A SE11 address in Kennington and one in The Oval are the same round.

Kennington sits close enough to central London that people assume help is round the corner, and far enough into the traffic that reaching a fitter is a genuine slog. Between Kennington Cross and Camberwell, a destroyed tyre is best dealt with at the spot the car stopped, not three congested miles later.
A pothole edge had opened the sidewall and there is no argument with that sort of damage. The car came to rest safely, we brought the size out, and it was on the road again in under an hour.
A tyre discovered ruined at six in the morning near The Oval, with a flight that nobody was going to miss. Replaced on the spot, balanced, torqued, and the boot loaded on schedule.
A driver on the Vauxhall fringe had one destroyed and its partner down to the wear bars. Fitting one good tyre against one bald one is a false economy, so both went on together and the car handled properly again.
It is printed on the sidewall of the one you have. Read us that string of numbers and letters when you call and there is no guesswork involved.
Within reason, yes. We carry budget through to premium and will tell you what is in the van now against what needs collecting, which is often the real decision when you are in a hurry.
Once you count the recovery, the lost day and the fact that a garage will charge for the tyre too, it very rarely is. You are told the figure up front either way.
New rubber generally belongs on the rear axle for stability, and we will move wheels around to achieve that where it is the right call for your car.
We take it with us for disposal. Nothing is left propped against your railings.
