Can I drive with a flat tyre?

Driving on a flat tyre

No. Driving on a flat standard tyre is dangerous and will likely damage the wheel rim permanently, making the situation more expensive to fix.

What to do instead

• Use your spare wheel if you have one
• Use your tyre puncture repair kit if the puncture is suitable
• Call roadside assistance

Exception: run flat tyres

If your vehicle is fitted with run flat tyres, you can continue driving at a reduced speed (up to 50 mph) for a limited distance (up to 50 miles) to reach a garage.
