Run Flat Tyres – East Sussex

Run-flat tyres are now regularly fitted by manufacturers as standard on new cars and are an increasingly popular choice among drivers.

Mobile Tyre Specialists fit a wide selection of run-flat tyres as part of our mobile tyre-fitting service across Eastbourne and East Sussex.

Why are run-flat tyres so popular?

Run-flat tyres do what you’d imagine, they allow you to continue driving when the pressure in the tyre has dropped (generally for up to about 50 miles at approx 50 mph but this will vary from vehicle to vehicle). The undoubted benefit of this is that it avoids the panic that we all experience when we get a puncture or a sudden drop in tyre pressure and gives you the opportunity to get to a garage when it’s convenient for you.

What are the downsides to run-flat tyres?

There aren’t really any; the only possible downside is that repairing run-flats generally isn’t an option so if you damage a tyre (they are pretty difficult to damage) or if you get a puncture, you’ll more than likely have to replace the tyres instead of just having it repaired.

Can you use run-flat tyres in any car?

Run-flats can only be fitted to cars that are fitted with a TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) – this can automatically sense when the tyre pressure changes and then alert the driver. If you don’t have a vehicle with TPMS, then you’ll have to stick with standard tyres for now.
