Can I Replace Run Flat Tyres With Regular Tyres?

Many cars shipped with run-flat tyres can switch to conventional tyres if you carry a spare or mobility kit — but there are caveats around TPMS, rim type, and handling balance.

Why switch

Run-flats ride firmer and cost more. Conventional tyres often improve comfort on rough Australian roads.

What you must add

A space-saver or full-size spare, or a quality sealant/compressor kit — and knowledge how to use it. Relying on roadside assist alone is a personal risk call.

OEM suspension tuning

Some chassis were tuned assuming stiffer sidewalls. A quality fitter can suggest pressures and brands that preserve steering feel.
