Run Flat Repair - Glasgow

[AMG01]

Have had my MOT and my two rear tyres have a nail in one and screw in the other, in the middle of both tyres, rather than the sidewall. All the big places don't repair them, any recommendations for garages in Glasgow which repair run flat tyres?

Not in Glasgow, but if you are West End I've had run flats repaired at Andrews Garage in Helensburgh.

I thought run flats should not be repaired as you don't know how long they have been running flat/low pressure?


Can Run Flat tyres be repaired?

In line with most leading tyre retailers, National Tyres will not repair a run flat tyre following a puncture. Most manufacturers advise against repairing run flat tyres. If the deflated tyre has been driven on, it could have compromised its strength, and it is impossible for a fitter to know if the tyre was driven on for longer/faster than recommended after a puncture. For a brand specific answer you can contact the manufacturers below, but generally it will be hard to find a retailer who will be willing to repair a run flat tyre.
