We’ve all seen it — a car stranded on the side of the road with a shredded tyre. But what most drivers don’t realise is just how dangerous and costly a blown or flat tyre can be. It’s not just an inconvenience; it’s a serious safety risk that can damage your vehicle, put your passengers in danger, and ruin your trip in an instant.
1. Sudden Loss of Control
A tyre that loses pressure quickly can cause your vehicle to pull sharply to one side or lose traction completely — especially at high speed. SUVs, bakkies, and caravans are even more at risk of rolling when a front tyre blows out.
2. Expensive Vehicle Damage
Driving even a short distance on a flat can destroy your rim, affect wheel alignment, and send damaging vibrations through your suspension and drivetrain. What starts as a small puncture can turn into a repair bill worth thousands.
3. Increased Fuel Use and Uneven Wear
Underinflated tyres create more rolling resistance, meaning your engine works harder and burns more fuel. They also wear unevenly, which shortens their lifespan and compromises grip — especially in wet conditions.
4. Danger on the Roadside
A blowout often happens without warning — sometimes on a highway, at night, or in unsafe areas. Waiting for assistance with a damaged tyre can expose you to serious roadside risks.
