Can you repair a run flat tyre

Can a run flat be repaired? Can national tyre repair run flat tires? Can you get a puncture in a run flat tyre? What is the cost of repairing a run flat tyre?


In short, the answer to this is almost certainly not. Tyre manufacturers advise not to repair these tyre models for a very important reason.

Bush Tyres will endevour to repair ALL run flat tyres according to the latest British Standard BSAU159. Any one who can repair punctures in normal tires can repair run flat tires. The tire has not been driven on when flat. The damage is only on the tread section of your tire ( sidewall damage ruins a tire immediately).


The puncture is no greater than ¼”. Instea you will need to get your run flat tyre replaced as quickly as possible. Run flat tyres act as a temporary ‘safety net’ for drivers – allowing that extra time to get to a garage or drive to safety after experiencing a puncture.


In line with most leading tyre retailers, National Tyres will not repair a run flat tyre following a puncture. Most manufacturers advise against repairing run flat tyres.

Yes you can have a run flat repaired. I went through a bad patch last year (whilst a new housing estate was going up nearby) picking up a puncture every month on average (accross diff cars). Some manufacturers specify what sort of damage to a run-flat can be repaired.


Run-flat tyres are more expensive and harder to get repaired If you do get a puncture in a run-flat tyre you might not notice, particularly on a motorway, because the ride quality will be very similar to normal. This is why run-flat tyres are always fitted together with a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).


If you have a tyre puncture and require a repair please book in for a free tyre safety check, where one of our experts will test to ensure that your tyre is safe for repair. If your tyre meets the requirements for a safe puncture repair then the cost is £per tyre. This cost includes fitting, new valve and wheel balancing.


Most repair kits will require you to manually squeeze all of the sealant into the tyre, via its adapter. You may have to remove the tyre valve to do so, but instructions in either your repair kit or vehicle handbook will tell you how to do this. Once all of the sealant is in the tyre, attach the compressor to the tyre valve.


Can Run Flat Tyres be Repaired? Although not all manufacturer Run Flat tyres can be repaire Goodyear Run On Flat Tyres can be repaired by a qualified tyre professional following a thorough inspection and analysis of the tyre history. In case of any doubt, it is recommended that the tyre is should not be fixed. If the puncture is located outside the tread area and in the sidewall.


The structural integrity of the tyre has been compromised or there is run flat damage. Due to safety reasons we would never recommend to repair a tyre but exchange it.


So, you’ve got yourself a puncture in one or more of your tyres. However, one of the larger builders of run - flat tires, Bridgestone, does have a standardized inspection and repair process for their run - flat tires.

Many leading tyre manufacturers such as Bridgestone, Continental and Michelin do not recommend repairing a run flat. The reinforced design of run flats makes it difficult to spot any extra damage that has occurred because of a puncture, so once the tyre has been damage the strength of the tyre has been compromised.


Furthermore, while standard tires can often be repaire run -flats are much harder to fix. In fact, Pirelli specifically does not recommend you repair a damaged run - flat, since driving on the tire. Runflat tyres have reinforced sidewalls which means they can be driven on for a short time after picking up a puncture allowing you to travel to safety or to your nearest tyre fitter.


Unfortunately we are unable to repair runflat tyres. If your car has a spare tyre (or increasingly popularly, a puncture repair kit) and you feel that you can repair or replace the wheel yourself, then do so before bringing your car to the nearest ATS Euromaster to have the tyre checked for damage.


You can picture the scenario: Man gets screw.
