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.
