Run flat tyres allow you to make it safely to the garage in the event of a puncture. Run flat tyres have thicker sidewalls meaning they can be driven for a short while after picking up a puncture. The tyre can maintain its shape in the event of air pressure loss. Vehicles with run flat tyres require a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) which alerts the driver that there is a puncture. If your vehicle runs on run flat tyres and you need a replacement give us a call or use our online booking system to find the right tyre for you. You won’t need to pay anything until you pick up your car when the work is complete.
