Have you even heard of run flat tyres? Do you know if your car is fitted with them? Since there\u2019s so much terminology \u2013 and often confusion \u2013 flying around about run flat tyres, our latest tyre safety article takes a look at this excellent tyre technology, and provide you with the critical information you need to know when it comes to using and changing to run flats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are they, and how do I tell if I have them on my car?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To start with, let\u2019s open your car\u2019s boot. When you lift up the floor cover, what can you see? If there\u2019s a spare wheel sitting in the cavity with a jack and spanner, your car isn\u2019t intended to be fitted with run flat tyres. If you don\u2019t see one, you know that your car is designed to be fitted with run flats, and as such should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what exactly are run flat tyres, and how are they different to normal tyres? Run flats are built with reinforced sidewalls. As a result \u2013 even in the event of sustaining a puncture \u2013 you can typically continue driving on them, allowing you to get to a nearby garage for a replacement tyre fitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, run flats aren\u2019t a permanent, \u2018magic\u2019 solution. You can only run on these tyres with a puncture at a modest speed and for a short period \u2013 typically a maximum of 50 mph for up to 50 miles, tops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/run_flat_tyres_cutaway_article.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/run_flat_tyres_cutaway_article.jpg\" alt=\"Continental Run Flat Tyre\" class=\"wp-image-871 lazyload\" width=\"570\" height=\"375\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/run_flat_tyres_cutaway_article.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/run_flat_tyres_cutaway_article-300x197.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 570px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 570\/375;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the advantages to having run flat tyres?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1. In the event of a puncture, the strengthened sidewall helps you to maintain control of your car \u2013 essential if travelling at high speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. If you\u2019ve had a puncture, run flats ensure that you don\u2019t have to immediately change the tyre on the side of the road \u2013 a very dangerous thing to have to do, with many injuries and fatalities resulting each year in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Not having to carry a spare wheel means you have considerably more space in your car boot. There\u2019s also significantly less weight, so fuel efficiency and mileage is improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I\u2019m convinced, but how can I tell a run flat from a normal tyre?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be confusing. Run flats do look more or less exactly the same as normal tyres. Increasingly, with the aim of improving driver safety, many new vehicles are fitted with run flats as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/deciding-which-are-the-best-tyres-to-buy-for-your-car?utm_source=asda_tyres_blog&amp;utm_campaign=run_flat_tyres_article_2018\">\u201c<strong>Original Equipment\u201d (OE)<\/strong><\/a>. Leading car manufacturers, such as Mercedes, Mini and BMW regularly fit their vehicles from the factory with Continental tyres as OE, often run flat tyres. There\u2019s a strong possibility that you may well be driving a car fitted with the latest run flat technology without even realising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do run flat tyres work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As previously described, run flat tyres feature a specially reinforced sidewall construction. This continues to safely support your vehicle even if you have a puncture. It\u2019s this super-tough build and compound that means you can keep on driving to the nearest garage. Premium tyre manufacturers like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/continental?utm_source=asda_tyres_blog&amp;utm_campaign=run_flat_tyres_article_2018\">Continental<\/a><\/strong> have designed and developed this technology to help improve your safety and driving experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.continental-tyres.co.uk\/car\/technology\/extended-mobility-main\/ssr?utm_source=asda_tyres_blog&amp;utm_campaign=run_flat_tyres_article_2018\">SSR (Self-Supporting Runflat) technology<\/a><\/strong> is present in many of their tyre products, including their highly regarded and popular <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/continental\/premium-contact-ssr?utm_source=asda_tyres_blog&amp;utm_campaign=run_flat_tyres_article_2018\">ContiPremiumContact 5 SSR<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/run_flat_tyres_conti_ssr_article.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/run_flat_tyres_conti_ssr_article.jpg\" alt=\"Continental Self-Supporting Runflat Technology\" class=\"wp-image-872 lazyload\" width=\"570\" height=\"428\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/run_flat_tyres_conti_ssr_article.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/run_flat_tyres_conti_ssr_article-300x225.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 570px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 570\/428;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/run_flat_tyres_comparison_article.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/run_flat_tyres_comparison_article.jpg\" alt=\"Continental Self-Supporting Runflat Technology\" class=\"wp-image-873 lazyload\" width=\"570\" height=\"263\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/run_flat_tyres_comparison_article.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/run_flat_tyres_comparison_article-300x138.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 570px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 570\/263;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s key here, however, is that run flat tyres must be used in conjunction with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). This is vital because \u2013 without the automatic alert provided by the TPMS \u2013 how would you even know that you\u2019ve sustained a puncture?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you do get an alert from your TPMS that one of your tyres is punctured, the other thing to bear in mind is that it\u2019s really important that you don\u2019t ignore the run flat tyre\u2019s maximum 50 mile range limitation. You must get the tyre changed sooner rather than later, or else you\u2019ll risk damaging your actual wheel \u2013 much more costly than just replacing the tyre!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/run_flat_tyres_conti_tpms_article.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/run_flat_tyres_conti_tpms_article.jpg\" alt=\"Continental Tyre Pressure Monitoring System\" class=\"wp-image-874 lazyload\" width=\"570\" height=\"380\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/run_flat_tyres_conti_tpms_article.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/run_flat_tyres_conti_tpms_article-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 570px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 570\/380;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Changing run flat tyres with non-run flat ones \u2013 a good idea or not?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tempting, yes \u2013 because run flat technology is more expensive \u2013 but a good idea? Absolutely not. As we stated earlier, run flat tyres very often come as \u201cOriginal Equipment\u201d \u2013 what the car is fitted with when its sold new from the factory. This usually means that the car has been designed and built without the space necessary to carry a spare tyre. If \u2013 after one of your run flats is punctured \u2013 you replace it with a non-run flat and (bad luck) have another puncture, you\u2019d be stranded. This is why \u2013 if you bought your car second hand and then discovered afterwords there\u2019s no spare wheel in your boot \u2013 you must check that your tyres are actually run flats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you\u2019re unsure about run flats, talk to Asda Tyres<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re unsure about how to tell if your vehicle is fitted with run flat tyres or not, contact the expert team at Asda Tyres.
