So there\u2019s no need to panic if you happen to suffer from a puncture on a cold, dark night, as you should be able to safely drive home or to the nearest garage to get your tyre changed. Due to their unique construction, run-flat tyres significantly reduce the dangers of a tyre blowout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do they work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Built with reinforced sidewalls, run-flat tyres guarantee road users a stable, more effective transmission of the vehicle\u2019s power to the road surface, with better handling on corners and faster reaction to turns. Normally, a car is supported by the air in the tyres, and as soon as you get a puncture, the tyre begins to collapse. However, run-flat tyres are designed with tough rubber inserts which temporarily withstand the weight of your vehicle even after a puncture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How far can you get with a punctured run-flat tyre?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your run-flat tyre has suffered a puncture, you can\u2019t keep driving on it forever &#8211; usually, you will be able to drive at 50mph for another 50 miles. The exact range you can expect from your punctured run-flat tyre depends on your driving speed, how much weight your vehicle is carrying and the conditions you\u2019re driving in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vehicles fitted with run-flat as &#8216;Original Equipment&#8217; (OE)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s becoming increasingly popular with vehicle manufacturers opting to fit new cars with run-flat tyres, this means that the vehicle won\u2019t come with a spare tyre or tyre changing equipment that\u2019s usually included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fitting &#8216;conventional&#8217; tyres to a run-flat equipped vehicle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your vehicle was fitted with run-flat tyres, then it is possible for you to be able to change to \u2018conventional tyres.\u2019 However, if the vehicle was designed with run-flat tyres in mind, you will have to consider buying a new spare tyre and tyre changing equipment as this won\u2019t have been included before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can run-flat tyres be repaired?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s advised by most manufacturers that run-flat tyres should not be repaired. If the damaged tyre has been driven on, the strength of the tyre will be compromised. It is then impossible for a fitter to know how long the tyre was driven on, and if it was driven at a speed recommended after a puncture. Keeping the correct air pressure in your tyres and taking care whilst driving will ensure a longer life from your tyres.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are run-flat tyres?
