FAQs About Run Flat Tyres
What are run-flat tyres?
Run flat tyres are specially designed tyres with reinforced sidewalls that allow you to continue driving for a limited distance after a puncture or complete loss of air pressure. This helps you reach a safe location or tyre fitment centre without changing the tyre immediately.
How far can you drive on a run flat tyre after a puncture?
Most run-flat tyres can be driven for up to 80 km at speeds of up to 80 km/h after a puncture. The exact distance depends on the tyre manufacturer and the extent of the damage.
Can run-flat tyres be repaired?
Some run flat tyres can be repaired if the damage is minor and the tyre has not been driven beyond the manufacturer's recommended distance after losing air pressure. A qualified tyre specialist should always inspect the tyre before deciding whether it can be safely repaired.
Are run-flat tyres suitable for every vehicle?
No. Run-flat tyres are designed for vehicles that are compatible with them, typically those equipped with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Always check your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations before fitting run-flat tyres.
How do I know if my car uses run-flat tyres?
You can check the markings on your current tyre sidewall for labels such as RFT, SSR, ROF, ZP or other manufacturer-specific markings. Your vehicle owner's manual or a Tyrewide tyre specialist can also confirm whether your vehicle is designed for run-flat tyres.
