Types of run-flat tyre technologies
Self-supporting- In this variant, the tyre construction is supported by a reinforced sidewall. This allows the driver to continue driving even after a puncture at a certain speed and up to a limited distance specified by the manufacturer.
Support ring system- A hard rubber ring is embedded in the tyre's sidewall in the support ring system. It supports the vehicle's weight even after a puncture.
Benefits of run-flat tyres
Our customers mostly opt for run flat tyres because of the following reasons:
- These tyres help avoid the inconvenience (and potential dangers) of changing a punctured tyre in the middle of nowhere or at the side of a busy motorway but instead support the weight of the vehicle, so the car can be driven safely to the nearest garage for a tyre replacement.
- Run-flat tyres also eliminate the need for carrying a spare wheel and tools in your car.
Please note: Regardless of the unique tyre construction, run-flat tyres should only be fitted to a vehicle with TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System). Otherwise, a sudden loss of air pressure in the tyres would not be noticeable straight away, which means the driver could be driving with a damaged tyre without knowing.
Additionally, run-flat tyres are not considered to be safe for repairs as they change their structure once driven without air. A damaged tyre must be replaced.
