Meta Description (for SEO):Discover why having a spare wheel is essential and what to do if you get a flat tyre. Learn about practical alternatives and how Brugge Banden Mobiel provides fast on-site tyre service in Bruges and West Flanders.

🚗 A Flat Tyre Can Happen Anytime

It’s Friday evening. You’re on your way to a well-deserved weekend getaway. The music is playing, the sun is setting on the horizon... until suddenly, a strange noise breaks the calm: a flat tyre.

Unfortunately, this scenario is all too common on Belgian roads — one in ten roadside assistance calls involves a flat tyre.That’s why it’s crucial to ensure your vehicle always has a reliable spare wheel or at least that you know what alternatives are available.

At Brugge Banden Mobiel, we deal with these emergencies every day — and we can assist you directly on-site, without the need for towing or delays.

🔧 What Exactly Is a Spare Wheel?

A spare wheel is an emergency replacement wheel that allows you to temporarily replace a flat tyre.There are two main types:

• Full-size spare wheel: identical to your regular tyres, allowing you to continue driving normally.

• Space-saver (temporary spare): smaller and lighter, designed only to reach a garage or tyre centre. The maximum speed is typically 80 km/h.

👉 Brugge Banden Mobiel Tip: check your spare tyre’s pressure and condition regularly — many drivers discover too late that their spare is also flat!

🧰 Alternatives to a Spare Wheel

Not all vehicles come equipped with a spare wheel. Many manufacturers omit it to save space, reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency.But don’t worry — there are effective alternatives available.

🛞 1. Runflat Tyres

Runflat tyres are designed so that you can continue driving even after losing air pressure — usually up to 80 km at moderate speed.They feature reinforced sidewalls that prevent the tyre from collapsing completely.

👉 If you experience a serious puncture, pull over safely and contact Brugge Banden Mobiel immediately.Our mobile service can repair or replace the tyre on-site, wherever you are.

🧴 2. Tyre Repair Kit

Another common alternative is a tyre repair kit, which includes a sealing fluid and a small compressor.It allows you to temporarily seal small punctures by injecting the liquid through the valve.

However, this is a temporary fix only — the tyre should be checked by a professional as soon as possible.If you’re unsure how to use your kit, simply call Brugge Banden Mobiel and we’ll handle everything safely and efficiently on the spot.
