Understanding Tyre Punctures: Common Causes and What to Do
Tyre punctures are a common occurrence, often caused by various forms of road debris such as nails,
screws, glass, or sharp rocks. Impacts with common road hazards like potholes and roadside kerbs can
also lead to significant tyre damage, sometimes resulting in a slow leak or an immediate flat tyre.
Understanding the causes is the first step in prevention, and knowing how to react when a puncture occurs.
What to Do in Case You Get a Punctured Tyre
If you suspect a flat tyre, or your Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light illuminates on your
dashboard, your primary concern is safety. Turn on your hazard warning lights and drive to a safe
place that is convenient out of the traffic flow. Once safely stopped, you may check the tyre.
In any uncertainty or need of immediate guidance, do not hesitate to call your local Donnellans store.
Our staff is here to offer advice and guidance on the telephone.
If the tyre is totally flat, refer to your vehicle's handbook for guidance. If your vehicle has a spare
tyre (full-size or space-saver), take heed of the manufacturer's guidelines on how to fit it safely.
Otherwise, think about the use of a roadside assistance service if offered. Although not advisable for
long distances, driving a few hundred metres on a completely flat tyre at very slow speeds
(less than 10-15 km/h) usually won't do irreparable damage to your wheel or vehicle, but this should be
absolutely minimised.
Driving with Run-Flat Tyres:
In vehicles with run-flat tyres, you get the advantage of driving a short distance at reduced speeds
after a puncture. It is recommended that tyre manufacturers advise that you drive not more than 80
kilometres with a maximum speed of 80 km/h. It should be noted, though, that most manufacturers
recommend against running a run-flat tyre again after it has been used for long distances while 'flat',
as the sidewall may have suffered permanent internal damage from the vehicle's weight when deflated.
If you have any questions regarding the specific requirements or repairability of your run-flat tyres,
please always contact your nearest Donnellans store for professional advice and personalised tyre
repair instructions.
