Move to the safest available position
Slow down without sudden steering or braking. Move away from active traffic when the vehicle can be moved safely. Use hazard lights and follow police or road-operator guidance on a dangerous road.
Avoid driving on a fully flat tyre
Driving without pressure can damage the sidewall and internal structure, even when the original puncture was small. A repair may no longer be safe after the tyre has been driven flat.
Send useful information
Share the live location, vehicle model, tyre size, clear tyre photos and whether the vehicle has a usable spare. Mention building, basement or road-access restrictions.
Repair or replacement?
A suitable tread-area puncture may be repairable after inspection. Sidewall damage, severe cuts, internal damage, low tread or repeated repairs usually require replacement.
How this guidance should be used
Vehicle manufacturer instructions and the actual tyre condition take priority. The photographs and vehicle details should be reviewed before a service decision, and the tyre must be inspected when repair safety is uncertain.
This guide is general information. A technician must inspect the actual tyre and location before confirming a repair or replacement.
