How Long Can I Drive With a Punctured Tyre?

If you’ve just discovered a flat or slowly deflating tyre, you’re probably asking yourself: "How long can I drive with a punctured tyre?" The short answer is, not long at all. Driving on a puncture can be dangerous and cause costly damage to your wheel or suspension. But don’t worry, Ansa Tyres Wrexham is here to help with fast, affordable puncture repair from just £19.95.

Is It Safe to Drive on a Flat Tyre?

Can I drive on a flat tyre? Many Wrexham drivers ask this when they’re caught off guard by a nail in the tread or a slow leak. While it might be tempting to "just get home", even driving a short distance on a punctured tyre can:

• Damage the inner structure of the tyre beyond repair

• Bend or crack your wheel rim

• Affect your car’s braking and steering

  
  

If you drive on a completely flat tyre, you could be looking at a full tyre replacement, which costs far more than a standard repair.

How Far Can You Drive With a Puncture?

The general advice is: don’t drive at all if the tyre is visibly flat or rapidly losing pressure. If you have a slow puncture, you may have a little time, but you’re still at risk of a full blowout, especially at higher speeds.

If you’re in or around Wrexham, your safest option is to stop and call Ansa Tyres Wrexham. Our team can usually offer same-day puncture repairs, getting you safely back on the road for just £19.95.
