Run Flat Tyres – Romford

Run flat tyres are fitted as standard on a growing number of vehicles – particularly BMWs, MINIs, and certain Mercedes models – and replacing them correctly requires specific knowledge and the right equipment. London Road Tyres in Romford stocks run flat tyres and has the experience to fit them safely.

How Run Flats Work

Run flat tyres have reinforced sidewalls that support the weight of the vehicle even with no air pressure. In the event of a puncture, they allow you to continue driving – typically up to 50 miles at reduced speed – without immediate wheel damage. That’s why many vehicles fitted with run flats don’t carry a spare.

The Important Caveats

Once a run flat has been driven on while flat, it generally can’t be repaired and must be replaced. They also require a TPMS (tyre pressure monitoring system) to be working properly because, without it, you may not know you’ve had a puncture until damage is done. We can advise on both.
