Mobile Truck Tyre Service in Calw — 24/7 Roadside Breakdown Assistance

A Volvo FH 500 running timber loads from Pforzheim toward Herrenberg on the B296 through the Black Forest foothills hit a section of road edge subsidence where the tarmac had dropped several centimetres below the verge. The nearside front tyre caught the lip and the sidewall split along a 9-centimetre arc just above the bead flange. Pressure did not drop instantly but the tyre was visibly bulging at the damage point. The driver pulled into a forestry lay-by outside Calw and called LKWHelp24 at 09:30. The B296 through the Calw area runs through forested upland with limited passing options, so the service van came from the Herrenberg direction on the A81 and reached the lay-by via the B296 junction in 40 minutes. The technician confirmed the sidewall split had opened into the casing. A repair was not viable: the 315/80 R22.5 steer tyre was removed and a replacement from van stock fitted and torqued to the Volvo specification. Given the rural setting and the narrow B296 geometry, the technician placed cones well ahead and behind the lay-by before starting. The job took 55 minutes from van arrival to departure. The Volvo FH left the lay-by at 11:05 and continued toward Herrenberg, joining the A81 south of Böblingen for the final delivery leg. The driver chose to avoid the B296 on the return journey.
