<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: If You Have Run-Flat Tires
If your car has run-flat tires, or specially made tires that can still operate when punctured, you will be able to drive a maximum of approximately 100 miles before you will need to change the tire in question. As soon as a blowout has occurred, your speed must be reduced to about 50 mph and visit a mechanic as soon as you can to reduce the risk of further damage.
On the Other: If You Have Normal Tires
Once you experience a blowout of flat tire, pull over to the side of the road immediately. There are no two ways about it, driving on a flat tire will cause further damage to the rim and possibly the axel. If you have a spare, change the tire and try to drive at a moderate speed that does not exceed 35 mph.
Bottom Line
The bottom line is if you have tires that are not run flat, you should pull over to the side of the road as soon as you have noticed that a flat tire has occurred. Run flat tires are useful so that you can at least get yourself to a mechanic without paying for a tow or having to change the tire yourself.
