Van-side tyres

Run-flats replaced in Harpenden, not cooked for another ten miles

Run-flats are sold as ‘keep going’. After a few miles on the support they are often scrap, and the dash starts shouting. We bring the right run-flat — or a sensible alternative if the car will accept it — and do the job where you stopped. A Hemel industrial park or a Harpenden cul-de-sac is fine.

What that means on the ground

• Cars that left the factory without a spare are normal work
• Pressure sensors treated as part of the job, not an extra surprise
• Honest talk if you have already driven too far on the support
• If a conventional tyre is legal and you prefer it, we discuss that first
