Can you plug a run flat tyre?

Most run flat tyres are not designed to be repaired after a puncture due to their reinforced sidewalls.

When driven on after a loss of pressure, internal structural damage may occur, making a simple plug or patch unsafe.

Some manufacturers explicitly advise against repairs, while others allow it under strict conditions.

If a run flat tyre has been punctured, it's best to consult a tyre professional to assess its condition before considering a replacement.
