Run-Flat Tyres North London | Run-Flat Tyres in Watford and Surrounding Areas

We regularly speak to customers across North London who aren't sure whether they have run-flat tyres fitted to their vehicle. Many customer's mistake "not having a spare" with having run-flats, this is not the case!

Many modern cars come without a spare tyre – this does not mean they have run-flat tyres fitted.

If your tyres are run-flats, they will be marked as run-flat on the sidewall of the tyre. This is marked in several different ways depending on the brand of the tyres, see below.

Some of the common questions we get asked regarding run-flat tyres are shown below…

Can You Repair Run-Flat Tyres?

As a company, we don't offer repairs to run-flat tyres. This is because it hasn't been proven that tyres will retain their run-flat capabilities following a repair.

Why Do I Have Run-Flats?

Run-flats were created to provide an "extended mobility", meaning you didn't need to carry a spare tyre (although as mentioned previously, if you have no spare tyre it doesn't mean you have run-flats!).

With the "no spare tyre" in mind, this also reduced the overall weight of the vehicle, resulting in a small improvement to the car's fuel economy.

Although run-flats have a huge pro when it comes to getting to a safe place following a potential puncture, many of our customer's have found that run-flat tyres result in a "harsh" ride and overall higher road noise. Which leads us on to our next FAQ…

Can I Change From Run-Flat to Non Run-Flat?

As well as being noisier, run-flat tyres are also generally more expensive than standard tyres. Due to this, many customer's look to change their tyres from run-flat to standard, this is entirely possible! You can fit non run-flat tyres to run-flat rims without any issue.
