    Pull Over Safely and Make Yourself Visible

    Indicate early and pull as far off the road as you safely can. Turn on your hazard lights, and if you have them, deploy your warning triangle. Stay inside the vehicle if you're on a busy road — your safety comes before the tyre. Note your location as best you can so we can find you fast.


    Call With Your Tyre Size and Location

    Call 0485 075 056 with your location and, if you can, your tyre size — it's printed on the sidewall, for example 215/55 R17. That helps us bring the right replacement on the van. We dispatch immediately and aim to arrive as fast as possible depending on traffic and your location, fitting and balancing the replacement at the roadside so you're mobile again.
