Run Flat Tyres St Helens: The Genuine Basics
Genuinely, they're built with reinforced sidewalls strong enough to support your car's weight even after a puncture.
Reinforced Sidewalls
Genuinely, this is the core technology — stiffer sidewalls that hold their shape without air pressure.
No Spare Wheel
Genuinely, cars fitted with run-flats from the factory typically don't carry a spare.
TPMS Required
Genuinely, a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System is essential, since you may not feel a pressure drop as clearly.
Run Flat Tyres St Helens: The Important Safety Point
Genuinely, this is the single most important thing to understand about run-flat tyres.
Once driven flat, genuinely replace — don't repair
Most manufacturers and specialists genuinely recommend that once a run-flat tyre has been driven on while deflated, it should be replaced rather than repaired. The internal structure can be damaged by the stress of supporting the car's weight without air pressure, even if the tyre looks fine from the outside.
We'll always be honest with you about whether your specific tyre is genuinely safe to repair, or whether replacement is the responsible option.
