Run-flat tyres are designed to let a vehicle continue for a limited distance after a loss of pressure, but that does not mean every punctured run-flat tyre is safe to keep driving. The correct response depends on the tyre design, damage and vehicle guidance.
Quick answer
A run-flat tyre has reinforced construction that can temporarily support the vehicle after pressure is lost. The exact speed and distance limits depend on the tyre and vehicle manufacturer, so the owner handbook and tyre markings should be followed.
Run-flat vs normal tyre after a puncture
A conventional tyre with little or no pressure should generally not be driven on because the tyre and wheel can suffer further damage. A run-flat may permit limited travel under its specified conditions, but it still needs inspection as soon as practical.
Can a run-flat tyre be repaired?
Repairability depends on the tyre manufacturer, the puncture location, how far and how fast the tyre was driven while deflated, and the tyre’s overall condition. Damage to the sidewall or shoulder is generally a replacement concern rather than a routine puncture repair.
Why Dubai drivers should check pressure regularly
High temperatures, long journeys and busy roads make tyre-pressure checks important. Use the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended cold pressure rather than a guess based only on the number printed on the tyre sidewall.
