Run flat tyres in Brae
Run flats let you keep moving for a limited distance after a puncture, but once that distance is exceeded the tyre must be replaced. We carry common run flat sizes and can fit at home, work or roadside. Brae is part of our regular Shetland cover — the same mobile fleet, dispatched to your location.
How run flat tyres differ from standard tyres
Run flats have reinforced sidewalls that support the vehicle for a limited distance and speed after pressure loss. Once you have driven on one in that condition the structural integrity is compromised and replacement is required, even if the tyre still looks intact.
When a run flat must be replaced
If the TPMS warning has been on and you have driven a meaningful distance, the run flat should be replaced rather than repaired. Manufacturer guidance on run flat repairs is generally restrictive for safety reasons.
