Run Flat Tyres

Written by Mathew Sage | 02 November 2011

Run flat tyres are by design made to help reduce the problem of punctures. They are becoming more common and generally of a harder nature than standard non run flat tyres. Apart from the harder ride the other point to consider is the effect of hitting potholes. As the tyre is naturally harder the shock that occurs when hitting a pothole is transferred through the tyre and into the wheel itself. We have found that this causes the wheel either to buckle excessively or crack, neither a particularly good propersition.

However all is not bad as we can generally arrange for wheels to be repaired and straightened, not all cases though. Generally speaking this can be achieved at a substantially cost saving. Each wheel has to be inspected and a decision made as to the damage.

As a point of legal standing about run flat tyres, it is illegal to fit run flat tyres to a car without TPMS, as it would be hard to feel a puncture and as such the affects of driving a car unknowingly could be fatal.

We have decided to offer clients of older vehicles a discounted service to help combat this problem. All Maserati vehicles over 6 years receive a discounted hourly rate AND servicing now starts at £378 including vat, for a small service, which is extremely competitve.
