Run-flat tyres (RFT) feature heavily reinforced sidewalls that allow you to continue driving for up to 50 miles at speeds up to 50mph even after a total loss of air pressure. While this provides peace of mind on the motorway, there are several trade-offs to consider.
Pros of Run-Flat Tyres
The primary advantage is eliminating the immediate need to pull over on a hazardous motorway hard shoulder or dark country lane. You can safely drive to an off-motorway location or home before calling our mobile fitting team.
The Downside: Stiffer Ride and Repair Restrictions
Because run-flat sidewalls are extremely rigid, they transmit more road harshness and vibration into the cabin on uneven Kent country roads. Furthermore, once driven on zero pressure, most tyre manufacturers prohibit puncture repairs due to hidden structural degradation.
