What Are Run-Flat Tyres?

As the name suggests, run-flats allow you to keep driving even after a puncture. So instead of pulling over and digging out the spare, you can limp your vehicle to safety without worrying about being stranded.

How Far Can You Drive on a Run-Flat?

  • On average: Up to 80 km
  • At a max speed of: 80 km/h

Pro Tip: If your car comes with run-flats, check your manufacturer’s guidelines for exact speed and distance limits for your tyre brand.

How Do They Work?

There are different types of run-flat tyre technology, depending on the manufacturer, but we won’t bore you with all the technical stuff.

The most common type? Self-supporting run-flats!

  • Reinforced sidewalls keep the tyre stable—even with zero air pressure.
  • Allows you to drive safely to a repair centre.
  • No need to change a tyre on the roadside!

Now that’s pretty cool—and exactly why run-flats exist!
