New tyres
A new tyre, fitted where the car stopped
Give us the size from the sidewall and where the car is. We bring the tyre, take the old one off and torque the wheel on the same ground.
Most of our work is this. You already know the size, or it is printed on the sidewall in the usual line of width, profile and wheel size. If the printing has worn away, we read it from one of the other wheels and match it.
We fit on a drive, in a street, in a workplace car park or at the side of the road, as long as there is firm, level ground next to the wheel. There is no unit to drive to; the van starts in Brighton and comes to you.
Cars and light vans are the everyday work. If you have a larger commercial vehicle, say so in your first message, because it needs a different tyre and different kit.
You hear the price before we set off. If we find something on the wheel that changes the job, we stop and tell you before doing anything else.
What to tell us
- The size from the sidewall — a line such as 205/55 R16 91V. A photo of it is ideal.
- Where the car is, and whether it is on a street, a drive or in a car park.
- Whether the locking wheel nut key is in the car.
- Whether you want one tyre, or a matching pair across the axle.

Where this job tends to find us
We do this anywhere in our thirty districts. These are three places where the ground makes it more likely to be needed.
Price first
Ask for a price: new tyres
Tell us where the car is and what has happened. We reply with a price and an honest idea of how far away the van is, before anything is agreed.

Other jobs
The rest of what the van does
- Puncture repairA hole in the middle of the tread can often be repaired properly from the inside. A cut in the sidewall cannot, and we will tell you which you have.
- Locking wheel nutsThe key is in the glovebox, or it is not. Tell us which before we set off and the right removal kit comes with the van.
- Run-flatsThey still go down and they still have to come off at the roadside. They are heavier and stiffer, and they hide a puncture until the warning light comes on.
- Van tyresTransits, Sprinters, Crafters and the box van that should not have gone down that lane. Load ratings and twin wheels, not car tyres with bigger writing.
- Jump startsLights left on, a cold morning, or a car that sat in a station car park for a week. We jump it if it will take a jump, and we say so if it will not.
- RecoveryA blowout on the A27, a wheel that will not turn, or a car in a ditch off a Downs lane. What cannot be fixed where it stands, we lift and move.
