Flat tires are among the most common roadside assistance calls. A professional can come to fix your flat tire at no cost to you when you have this coverage and a spare tire, or only the price of a spare tire if they need to bring one.

Only run flat tires should be driven on with no air as this type of tyres is specifically designed to remain functional with zero air pressure. This means that if you get a flat tire, you can continue driving for about 50 miles, which should be enough to get you to the auto shop or garage.

As soon as you realize you have a flat tire, do not abruptly brake or turn. Slowly reduce speed and scan your surroundings for a level, straight stretch of road with a wide shoulder. An empty parking lot would be an ideal place. Level ground is good because it will prevent your vehicle from rolling.
