How Do I Know If My Tyre is a Run-Flat Tyre? | Mobile Tyre Fitting

There are various markings which will indicate your tyre is a Run-Flat / Run On Flat / Runflat tyre! We've listed the most common variations below alongside the tyre brand they're commonly associated with:

RFT Run Flat Technology (Bridgestone)
RSC Runflat Safety Component
ROF Run On Flat (Bridgestone/Goodyear/Dunlop)
SSR Self Supporting Runflat (Continental)
ZP Zero Pressure (Michelin)

Some other Run-Flat markings, although slightly lesser known are:

Do I have Run-Flat Tyres if I don't have a spare?

No! A common misconception from our customers is that if they own a BMW or Mercedes and don't have a spare tyre, their vehicle must be fitted with Run-Flat tyres. This is not the case, if your tyre doesn't have one of the above markings stamped onto the sidewall, it's extremely unlikely that it's a Run-Flat.

If you're unsure whether your tyres are Run-Flat or standard, you can give us a call! We can talk you through the specific requirements for your vehicle and whether it may/may not have Run-Flats fitted.
