WHY RUN-FLAT TYRES ARE GOOD

accreditation

RUN-flat tyres are popular safety features on many cars. They reduce the need to stop immediately if a tyre is damaged.

When do run-flat tyres work?

When a run-flat tyre gets a puncture, you have enough time to drive your car to the closest garage or tyre replacement place.

However, run flats last only for 80km and can’t be driven faster than 80km/h.

How do run-flat tyres work?

Run flats have stronger sidewalls – often steel re-inforced. They provide shape and support when the tyre is punctured.

The manufacture of run flats make them more expensive than regular tyres.

How do run-flat tyres benefit you?

If your tyre is damaged, run flats provide more stability than a regular tyre. The run flat does not force to park on the side of a road to replace it or wait for help.
