Nearly everything we need in order to bring the right tyre out is printed on the one you already have.
Every part of that matters. The load index is a weight the tyre is rated to carry, and an XL casing exists because the vehicle needs one, not as an upgrade somebody sold to the first owner. The speed symbol reflects how the tyre copes with sustained heat, which is not academic on the A4129 or the run down towards the A40. The diameter has to match the wheel exactly, and there is no near enough.
So when a tyre is beyond repair, read us the whole code, or the placard in the driver's door shut if the sidewall is destroyed.
A tyre that has been run flat is scrap even if it looks intact. The correct size comes out to the car in Princes Risborough, gets fitted and balanced where it stands, with the valve and pressures dealt with in the same visit. Level in Lacey Green, sloping in Loosley Row: we set the car straight first. Underground parking in Monks Risborough or Whiteleaf is worth flagging.

A replacement in Princes Risborough often has to go on somewhere awkward, whether that is a narrow market street in the centre or a lay-by on the climb towards Loosley Row. The specification does not bend to suit the location. We match size, load index, speed symbol and construction to what the vehicle calls for, then balance the wheel where it stands and set the pressures from the vehicle's own placard before pulling away.
A large estate at Longwick had one rear destroyed. The original was an XL casing and the car is regularly loaded, so an XL went back on. A standard load tyre in the same size would have been the wrong specification even though it fitted the wheel perfectly.
A tyre at Lacey Green was too badly torn to read. The placard inside the driver's door listed the original size and pressures, which was enough to bring the correct tyre out first time instead of making a second journey for it.
A driver who commutes over the scarp every day needed one tyre and had 2mm left on its partner. On roads that steep and that wet through the winter, uneven grip across the front axle is worth avoiding, so both went on together.

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.
Excellent service, super fast! I had a rental car and a screw got stuck in the side of the tyre. They sorted it on the spot.
I was broken down in the middle of the A406, late at night. I called and they arrived within 15 minutes. Very fast and amazing service, and a kind, friendly gentleman got me moving quickly.
The vans are stocked with the sizes that cover the large majority of cars, vans and 4x4s using these roads. Unusual and performance fitments are sourced, and we give you a realistic timescale on the phone rather than discovering the problem at your car.
No. XL and reinforced casings are specified because of the weight the vehicle carries. Dropping below the required load index is unsafe and an MOT failure, so it is not something we are willing to do.
On the same axle it should, and it is worth insisting on. Different patterns behave differently under braking and in standing water, which matters most on a steep wet descent of the kind this town is full of.
It is transferred or serviced as the wheel is built up, with a new valve service kit where the design uses one, and the system is checked before we leave so no warning is left showing on the dash.
No. What you are quoted covers the tyre, fitting at your location, balancing, the valve where one is required, pressure setting and disposal of the old casing. Nothing gets added on afterwards.
