So the tyre is finished. What now? Realistically the choice is a recovery truck, a garage that can see the car tomorrow, a day without it and the tyre still to pay for at the finish, or somebody bringing the right tyre to where the car already sits. We do the second one. The size comes off your sidewall, the tyre is fitted and balanced on site, and the wheel is torqued to the manufacturer's figure. You pick from budget, mid-range or premium, and anything new carries two years of warranty. You know the figure before a wheel comes off, you can pay by card where you stand, and the ruined tyre goes off in the van rather than staying with you.
It might be a tyre that let go on the way home and is now sat on a driveway in West Hampstead, or one you have finally looked at properly and found worn past the limit with an early start tomorrow. Pressures set before we leave Shoot-Up Hill, and the same on Willesden Lane. A Brondesbury driveway is our workshop, and so is a West Hampstead kerb.

There is nowhere to leave a car around here while it waits for a garage, and nowhere to park when you get back either. The streets off Willesden Lane are permit controlled and tightly packed, so a replacement carried out at the kerb saves both the journey and the space.
A tyre let go on Shoot-Up Hill and the car stopped where it could. Nothing about that one was repairable. We got out, fitted the correct size, balanced it and the driver was gone before the road backed up badly.
A car near Maida Vale had one tyre destroyed and the other worn to the wear bars. Fitting a new one against a bald one is a poor trade, so the pair went on together at the kerb.
A tyre found cut and flat at eleven at night with work at six. It was replaced that night, on the street where the car was parked, rather than becoming somebody's problem in the morning.
That gets decided when the tyre is off the rim and the inside is visible. Plenty of tyres people write off turn out to be repairable, and we would rather do the cheaper job when it is honestly available.
One is fine when the other on that axle is sound and matching. We will look at it and tell you either way rather than assuming you want a pair.
That is where most of them are fitted. The car does not move and we work alongside it, which is far easier than trying to get anywhere from here at rush hour.
Usually 30 to 60 minutes. The honest note is that the A5 can be slow, and you will hear that from us rather than discover it.
Often not, and we will say so. Budget and mid-range tyres do a proper job for local mileage, and the money is better spent replacing them when they wear rather than buying more than the car needs.
