E3
Mobile tyre fitting in Ford
For Ford, we come to the car or van. The tyre comes off the wheel when a puncture might be saved. If it cannot, a matching tyre is fitted where the vehicle is already standing.
What E3 refers to
E3 is in east London. E runs from the City fringe through Whitechapel, Mile End, Bow, and out to Stratford and the Docklands edge. Terraces, estates, and industrial yards sit on the same outward codes.
Ford is the place we cover here for E3. Nearby outward codes are listed below in case the code on the car is the next one along.

One axle, not one corner
If the other tyre on the same axle in Ford is much more worn, a single new tyre can upset braking in the wet. We will say so before you pay. The speed and load codes on the sidewall have to match what the car was given. E3 does not change the axle. It only changes the drive.
Spare wheels and Ford
A space-saver spare is a temporary, speed-limited wheel, not a repaired tyre. If you have already fitted one in Ford, we can still come and fit a proper tyre. If you have no spare and the tyre is off the bead, do not try to drive across E3. Wait where the car is safe.
Legal tread is separate from the puncture
UK tyres need at least 1.6 mm of tread across the central three-quarters of the width, all the way round. Patching a bald tyre in Ford does not make it legal. If the tread on the E3 car is already on the wear bars, expect a replacement quote, not a repair quote.
Booking Ford
The E3 booking uses the same phone number as every other area. The registration has to match the car in Ford. Then Private clamping signs in Ford are a reason to move the pin. Central-tread nails in Ford are the repairs that usually succeed.
