Run flat tyres fitted by us at your home or work

Run flat technology helps prevent wheel damage in the event of a puncture. It does this by using tough inserts that can temporarily carry the weight of your vehicle when air escapes from the tyre. Run flat technology has developed significantly in recent years, partly as car makers aim to reduce vehicle weight by removing the heavy spare tyre from the boot. BMW and MINI are among the growing number of car makers fitting run flats. Browse the best run flats for BMWs by using our tyre search tool above.

One thing to bear in mind is that run flats must be used in conjunction with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS]. Otherwise, you won’t know whether you have a puncture or not.

If your vehicle was originally fitted with run flat tyres, we don’t recommend changing them to conventional tyres. This is because the car’s suspension is tuned according to the run flat’s stiff sidewalls, making them slightly softer than usual. By fitting a conventional and less rigid tyre, you could affect your car’s handling.

What’s more, run flat tyres should never be fitted to vehicles that don’t have a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Please consult your vehicle’s handbook before making any changes to your tyres, and feel free to get in touch with the TOTD team if you have any questions.
