Flat tyre with no spare wheel: what to do

·5 min read

More and more modern cars come without a spare wheel. Here's what to do when you get a flat and there's no spare in the boot.

Run-flat tyres

If your car is fitted with run-flat tyres, you can drive up to 80 km at 80 km/h after a puncture. Head straight to a garage.

Tyre repair kit

Many cars come with an inflation kit. Inject the sealant, inflate the tyre and drive a few kilometres to seal the puncture. Replace the tyre as soon as possible.

Roadside assistance via FastAssist24

If the kit doesn't work or damage is too severe, request help via FastAssist24 — a partner in your area can assist.
