Yes as per any other radial tyre, so long as you havent actually ran it flat. IF youve run it while very low on pressure or completely flat then it is scrap.

Quite a few places will even tell you it's illegal! Illegal like robbing banks or shooting people. It's not.
The usual conditions apply. If it's near the sidewall then it's a no go. And RFTs aren't really designed to be taken off and on wheels. The fitter needs to be careful. Removing the tyre from the wheel can cause damage to the inside of the sidewall. |

Run my own tyre company it's fine to do as long as in the 3/4 centre tread area and they say the rft should not have traveled more than 50 miles the fitter will know when he removes if it's ok as he will be able to check inside sidewall for any damage due to heat build up,also £10 is the norm

Post up where you are mate. I'm sure there are some Welsh members who'd be happy to know you'll repair run flats. Better than Kwik-Shite saying no and charging 200 quid for a new one. |
