From what I understand it's the amount of miles and speed you do that damages the tyre, they say you can do upto 150 miles (I think can’t remember ) at 50mph, now if do drive a long distance or high speed when the tyre is flat you can generate a lot of heat in the side walls which will permanently damage the tyre. If I get a puncture I will get it repaired ONLY of I have covered a few miles at low speed.
