The Situation
We received a call from a local farmer in Tring who had run into a problem while driving his Land Rover. He’d hit a deep pothole just outside one of the narrow country lanes near his property. The impact was enough to completely destroy the front driver’s side tyre. Although the vehicle could be pulled safely to the side of the road, the tyre was beyond repair.
The customer was on a tight schedule with livestock and equipment waiting, so the downtime needed to be kept to an absolute minimum. He had no spare tyre on board, and with no nearby garage able to supply the correct size and spec, he called us.
The required tyre was a 285/40/22 Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season—not something you typically find on the shelf at every garage. Thankfully, we had stock ready and dispatched a technician without delay.
Rapid Response
We were on-site within just 15 minutes of the call—one of our fastest response times of the week. Our mobile unit arrived fully stocked with the exact Pirelli Scorpion Verde tyre needed, and all the tools required to carry out a complete on-site replacement.
Time was crucial here. The client was on farmland with limited access and had a full day ahead managing a working vehicle. Our goal was to minimise disruption, make the replacement safe and secure, and have him back on the road as quickly as possible.
What We Did
As always, we followed our full mobile tyre replacement procedure, step by step:
- Old tyre removed – The damaged tyre was completely taken off. The sidewall had been torn open from the pothole, making repair impossible.
- New valve fitted – A new tyre valve was installed to ensure airtight inflation and long-term durability.
- Rim sealed – The alloy was thoroughly cleaned and sealed to prevent future leaks. No rim damage was present, which was a relief.
- Tyre inflated to 42 PSI – The new tyre was inflated to the correct pressure for the Land Rover’s requirements.
- Wheel balanced – The tyre was balanced properly to avoid vibrations and premature wear.
- Wheel refitted – The tyre was mounted back onto the vehicle and aligned securely.
- Bolts torqued to spec – We followed Land Rover’s recommended torque settings for maximum safety.
- Checked all tyre pressures – We took the opportunity to check the pressure on all four tyres and topped them up to manufacturer specs.
- Reset TPMS light – Finally, we reset the vehicle’s tyre pressure monitoring system, clearing the dashboard warning.
The Result
Within 40 minutes of the call being placed, the job was complete. The farmer was back behind the wheel of his Land Rover with a brand-new Pirelli Scorpion Verde all-season tyre fitted, balanced, and road-ready.
He was grateful not just for the speed of the service, but for the fact that we had the exact tyre needed in stock and ready to go. Getting the job done on-site, without towing or delays, meant he could carry on with his day with no major disruptions to his work schedule.
