Run-flat tyre suitability and replacement · Mitcham
Run-Flat Tyres Mitcham
Run-flat tyres need a vehicle-specific decision. The permitted pressure-loss use, compatibility, replacement approach and repairability depend on the tyre, vehicle and manufacturer guidance.
Call before travelling so the workshop can discuss the problem and current availability.
Quick answer
Do not use a generic distance or speed figure for every run-flat tyre. Check the vehicle handbook and tyre manufacturer guidance, then discuss the required fitment with the workshop before replacement is agreed.
Start with the problem
Start with the vehicle and the exact run-flat specification.
A run-flat marking on the tyre does not create a universal driving instruction. The vehicle’s original specification, the tyre-maker guidance, wheel setup and monitoring-system context all matter.
Workshop assessment route
Confirm compatibility before changing the tyre type.
IQ Tyres can discuss the replacement fitment and current availability. It does not publish a universal run-flat driving limit, repair promise, conversion rule or TPMS requirement because these depend on the specific tyre and vehicle.
02
Check manufacturer guidance
Use the vehicle handbook and tyre manufacturer information for pressure-loss and compatibility limits.
03
Agree the fitting route
Discuss a suitable current option before arranging workshop fitting.
Choose the right route
Use this route for run-flat compatibility, not a generic puncture instruction.
This service is the likely route when
- The vehicle is specified with a run-flat tyre or you need a like-for-like replacement discussion
- You need help matching the tyre’s size, load and speed specification
- You want to discuss manufacturer-specific guidance before travelling on a pressure-losing tyre
Choose a different route when
- The tyre is visibly damaged or losing pressure: start with puncture assessment or follow appropriate recovery guidance
- You need a general new-tyre fitment discussion: use New Tyres
- You are deciding on a conventional tyre change: seek vehicle-specific advice rather than assuming it is suitable

Frequently asked questions
How far can I drive on a run-flat tyre after pressure loss?
There is no universal figure. Follow the exact vehicle handbook and tyre-manufacturer guidance for the tyre fitted to your vehicle.
Can a run-flat tyre be repaired?
Repairability depends on the tyre condition, its history and manufacturer guidance. Arrange an assessment rather than assuming a repair is suitable.
Can I replace run-flat tyres with standard tyres?
This is vehicle-specific. Check the vehicle manufacturer’s information and discuss the intended replacement with the workshop before deciding.
Do you guarantee run-flat tyre stock?
No. Call with the full tyre marking before travelling so the workshop can discuss current availability.
