Step-by-step: What to do when your tyre fails
If you suspect a puncture, blowout, or rapid pressure loss, do the following in order:
- Slow down gently and avoid sharp steering or heavy braking
- Pull over somewhere safe and well lit where possible
- Switch on hazard lights and apply the handbrake
- Keep passengers away from traffic and stand behind a barrier if available
- Do not continue driving on a flat tyre, as it can damage the wheel and suspension
If you are on a motorway or fast road, your priority is safety and visibility. Move to a safe place and avoid working roadside in dangerous conditions.
Can it be repaired, or does it need replacing?
Some punctures can be repaired, but many emergency situations need a replacement to get you moving safely.
When a puncture repair may be possible
A repair may be possible when the puncture is in the main tread area and the tyre is otherwise in good condition. If you are unsure, treat it as a replacement scenario until inspected.
When a tyre replacement is required
A replacement is normally required when there is:
- Sidewall damage or a bulge
- A blowout or shredded tread
- The tyre has been driven on while flat
- Severe cracking or exposed cords
- Run-flat tyres that have exceeded safe distance limits
If you need a replacement urgently, use a service that can supply and fit a brand-new tyre at your location.
