Most of us might have gone through the dilemmas of tyre puncture and changing them on the spot. And when it comes to road conditions and traffic like that of India, we are like \u2018Aaj toh kismat hi kharaab hai\u2019<\/em>. Though changing a tyre is an essential skill to be learned, the idea of run flat tyres is equally important. Then why not know about this incredible run flat tyre technology in brief?<\/p>\n

What is Run Flat Tyre?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The phrase is mostly unknown to the general masses but, as you can observe, the meaning is evident in the wordings itself. Run flat tyres allow a person to continue driving the vehicle in case of a tyre puncture or deflation of air. This gives the driver enough time to take the vehicle to the nearest repair shop or petrol pump, which could not be the case with normal tyres. Though we can\u2019t drive indefinitely on whichever speed we want, but we can calmly get out of the worst situation.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Types of Run Flat Tyres and How do they work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For you to understand in simple terms, there are primarily two types of run flat tyres; Self-supporting<\/b> and Support ring or Auxiliary system<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The self-supporting run flat tyres<\/strong> have tougher and stiffer rubber which can carry the vehicle temporarily to the nearest destination even if the air pressure is very low. The reinforced sidewall construction will allow the vehicle to run on a specified speed recommended by the manufacturer. These types of tyres can be seen in passenger vehicles and light trucks.<\/p>\n

\"self-supporting-tyre\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The support ring<\/strong> or auxiliary system<\/strong> has an additional support ring inside the tyre which can carry the weight of the vehicle for long distances in case of air loss or complete deflation. These type of tyres can be seen in executive class vehicles, military and armoured vehicles.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But run flat tyres are totally dependent on Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, as without this technology you won’t be able to know the tyre pressure loss.<\/p>\n
