How far can you travel on a run flat tyre?

50 miles. That is how far you can travel on a run flat tyre if it suffers a puncture. It is also recommended that drivers do not go over 50mph for that maximum distance of 50 miles.

Run-flat tyres have been engineered designed support the weight of a vehicle if the tyre suffers a sudden loss of pressure.

This gives the driver enough time to drive safely for a short period of time. However, it is important to note the limitations of how long and fast a vehicle can be operated when there is a punctured run flat tyre(s).

By keeping to the recommended speed and distances, you should be able to make it to a fitting centre - or return home. It is not recommended to continue driving on run flat tyres for longer than the recommended distance. Or, at higher speeds - as this can cause additional damage to the tyre.
