Run-Flat Tyre Fitting Trumpington

Run-flat tyres require specialist fitting equipment and expertise. Our mobile service carries the correct tools and trained technicians to safely fit run-flat tyres for BMW, Mercedes, Mini, Audi, and other vehicles that use run-flat technology. We understand the specific handling and safety requirements of these tyres.

Run-flat tyres are designed to support the vehicle's weight even with zero pressure, allowing you to drive up to 50 miles at speeds up to 50mph after a puncture. This means you don't need to stop and change a wheel on a motorway — you can drive to a safe location. However, once a run-flat has been driven on with no pressure, it typically cannot be repaired and must be replaced.

Fitting run-flat tyres requires different techniques and equipment compared to standard tyres. The reinforced sidewalls are stiffer and harder to mount, requiring specialist tyre fitting machines with specific tooling. Our mobile vans are equipped with these machines, and our technicians are trained in run-flat fitting procedures for all major vehicle brands including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, and Audi.

We carry run-flat tyres in common sizes from brands including Bridgestone DriveGuard, Michelin ZP, Continental SSR, and Goodyear RunOnFlat. We can also advise on whether your vehicle is suitable for run-flat tyres, or whether switching to conventional tyres is a better option. After fitting, we reset the TPMS system to ensure accurate pressure monitoring.
