Can I drive with a punctured tyre?

No, it is not recommended that you drive when you have a punctured tyre. If a tyre has a puncture it will have lost air and so not be at the correct tyre pressure.

This will lead to poor handling and a loss of control of your vehicle. It will be very dangerous when driving at a high speed and could lead to a tyre blow out. Do not drive with a punctured tyre.

Not only is it an immediate risk to your safety, a punctured tyre will cause more damage to the tyre, wheel, and even the suspension.

How long can I drive on a punctured tyre?

If your tyre suffers a puncture when you are driving you need to pull over and stop as soon (and as safely) as possible.

If you notice a flat tyre before you start driving, do not attempt to drive the car.

Get the tyre repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
