Key benefits of run-flat car tyres
Reduced vehicle weight
As these tyres let you travel for a certain distance after a puncture, you will not have to carry a spare tyre and tools. This will significantly reduce your car's overall weight.
Maintains responsiveness
They feature a reinforced sidewall that makes it safer to drive even when they are rapidly losing air pressure. This lets them maintain responsiveness even after a blowout or puncture.
More space
As you do not need to carry any spare tyre, it also frees up space in your vehicle.
Types of run-flat tyres
Auxiliary supported
- These are the toughest variants among the three, and they actively prevent punctures with the help of their additional support rings and Kevlar reinforcement.
Self-sealing
- On the other hand, self-sealing models feature a layer of sealant on their inner part. This sealant responds to external damages and fills up the damaged area as long as it's not bigger than 5mm.
Self-supporting
Our run-flat tyres Pontypool with this system have extensively reinforced sidewalls that maintain their structural integrity after a puncture.
Things to keep in mind while buying RFTs
- With these tyres, you can drive for up to 50 miles at a speed of about 50 mph. But the exact distance and speed varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.
- RFTs must only be fitted on vehicles that have a TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) installed, otherwise you will not be aware of a sudden pressure loss while driving.
- These tyres are not considered safe for repairs as once driven without air, they will change their structure. Hence, you will have to replace damaged run-flat tyres.
