Run flat tyres offer van drivers a safer driving experience when the vehicle picks up tyre damage. Vans with run flat tyres can be driven roughly 60-100 miles at 50mph after receiving damage, which means there’s no need to urgently change the tyre yourself or wait for breakdown assistance at the side of the road.
The making of run flat tyres
Run flat tyres have reinforced side walls to stop them from becoming flat or bursting upon a sudden loss of air. The tyres are mounted onto rims specifically designed for run flat tyres, which keeps them from becoming unattached after damage.
Our advice
We ask that you ensure your run flat tyres are only fitted by experts who are experienced with the procedure. Unfortunately, we have met many customers who have had the tyres fitted incorrectly, leading to damaged rims or tyres and broken locking wheel nuts. This is often also a sign of some garages using the wrong equipment for fitting run flat tyres.
