Run-flat tyres, supplied and fitted, straight advice included.
If yours has been driven on flat, it almost always needs replacing, not repairing — the damage that rules out a repair happens inside the sidewall, where you can't see it. We'll check yours, confirm what your car actually needs, and fit a proper replacement without the upsell.
What we get called out for
- Run-flat punctured and you're not sure it's safe to keep driving
- Warning light on with no spare wheel in the car
- Unsure whether your car actually has run-flats fitted
- Wanting to switch from run-flats to standard tyres (and carry a space-saver)
- Mismatched run-flat and standard tyres on the same axle
- Run-flat tyre worn out and due for replacement
Every job, no exceptions
- Sidewall marking checked — RSC, ROF, SSR and similar — before we quote anything
- Honest advice on repair vs replacement, based on whether it's actually been driven flat
- Flat price agreed before we start, no 'from' pricing games
- Correct run-flat fitted to your car's original spec, not a lookalike substitute
- Torque-checked to spec, tyre pressure and TPMS reset before we leave
- Advice on switching to standard tyres + space-saver if that suits you better

Questions people actually ask
It depends on the tyre — commonly up to 50 miles at a reduced speed (often 50mph), but check your door sill or handbook for the exact rated distance. Don't assume; confirm before you rely on it.
If it hasn't been driven on while flat and the puncture's in the tread, sometimes yes. Once it's been driven deflated, the sidewall reinforcement can suffer heat damage you can't see from outside, which is why the industry standard (BS AU 159f) doesn't approve a repair after that — replacement is the honest answer at that point, not an upsell.
No. If you're willing to carry a space-saver spare, a standard tyre is often available and can work out noticeably cheaper. We'll talk you through the trade-off rather than assume you want run-flats again.
The reinforced sidewall costs more to manufacture, and most run-flat punctures end up as a full replacement rather than a repair — so you're not just paying more per tyre, you're less likely to get away with the cheaper outcome at all.
"Assumed my car didn't have run-flats because a previous fitter had put a normal tyre on without telling us. Gaz checked the sidewall and caught it before we drove another mile on the flat."
"Talked me through switching to a standard tyre with a space-saver instead of another run-flat. Saved me a genuinely surprising amount and nobody tried to upsell me."
