Run flat tyres are built with reinforced sidewalls and internal supports designed to help support a vehicle’s weight when air pressure is lost. Run flat tyres enable you to keep on driving after a sudden loss of air pressure. You can typically drive an additional 80 km at speeds of up to 80 km/h after an air pressure loss, however viable driving distance will differ depending on the tyre manufacturer’s recommendations, vehicle load and road conditions.
Run flat tyres can only work in conjunction with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which alerts you when there’s a problem with a tyre. TPMS is crucial, as continuing to drive beyond the tyre’s safe run-flat limit may pose a safety risk and cause irreparable damage to your vehicle, and you may not notice a run flat tyre has lost pressure, because they can hold their shape for some time.
After a run flat tyre has been damaged, it requires inspection. A tyre repair or tyre replacement may be recommended, depending on the level of damage.
Generally, you would only buy run flat tyres if your vehicle was originally fitted with run flats. Staying with the same tyre type will ensure you maintain handling, vehicle performance and safety.
Run flat tyres are most commonly factory-fitted on luxury, performance and some European vehicles, many of which don’t have the space to carry a spare tyre.
Occasionally, drivers may want to switch from conventional tyres to run flat tyres, as a way of reducing tyre replacement costs. This is only recommended if your vehicle has a functioning TPMS. Additionally, if you want to take this route, it’s wise to obtain expert advice on which run flat tyres will be appropriate for your vehicle.
