Run-Flat Tyre Care, Safety & Expert Advice

Run-flat tyres offer added safety and convenience, but they require the right care and understanding to perform at their best. Below is everything Aldershot drivers should know to get maximum value and safety from run-flat tyres.

How to Drive After a Run-Flat Puncture

If a run-flat tyre loses pressure:

Reduce speed immediately
Do not exceed 50 mph
Drive for no more than 50 miles
Avoid sharp turns or heavy braking

Continuing beyond these limits can cause irreversible tyre damage.

Importance of Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS)

Run-flat tyres rely heavily on TPMS to alert you when pressure drops. Without TPMS:

You may not realise a puncture has occurred
Driving safety can be compromised
Tyre damage can worsen

We always check TPMS functionality during run-flat tyre fitting.

Why Most Run-Flat Tyres Can’t Be Repaired

In most cases, run-flat tyres cannot be repaired once driven on without air pressure. This is because:

Internal sidewall damage may not be visible
Structural integrity can be compromised
Safety cannot be guaranteed

Our technicians will always inspect the tyre and advise the safest option.

Ride Comfort & Noise Expectations

Run-flat tyres use reinforced sidewalls, which can:

Feel firmer than standard tyres
Transmit slightly more road noise

Modern run-flat designs significantly reduce these issues, especially when fitted and balanced correctly.

Wheel Alignment Matters More with Run-Flats

Poor wheel alignment causes faster wear on run-flat tyres due to their stiff sidewalls. Correct alignment helps:

Extend tyre lifespan
Maintain stable handling
Improve driving comfort

Switching Between Run-Flat & Standard Tyres

Some drivers choose to switch from run-flat tyres to standard tyres. This is possible only if:

Your vehicle manufacturer allows it
You carry a spare tyre or repair kit
Suspension compatibility is considered

Our team can advise whether switching is safe for your vehicle.
