07470 862737SAFE SERVICE DECISION
This combined guide is for drivers deciding what to do after a tyre warning or failure during an M60 or M56 journey. It does not replace emergency or recovery support on a live motorway.
Once recovered, identify whether the vehicle needs puncture assessment, tyre replacement, wheel inspection or run-flat evaluation. The individual motorway pages provide corridor-specific details and should be used for dispatch.
Emergency and recovery procedures come before tyre work.
Use a protected, lawful and accessible location.
Location, direction, vehicle and tyre evidence.
Stock, access, timing and price are checked first.
USEFUL INFORMATION, NOT A GENERIC ROAD PAGE
Use emergency services for a live lane or unsafe position.
Move the vehicle to a protected accessible location.
Use the dedicated M60 or M56 page for direction-specific guidance.
Driving flat at speed can destroy a repairable tyre.
Impact and deflation can bend or crack the rim.
Dispatch should use the recovery destination, not the incident point.
