Are you looking for Run Flat Tyres for your vehicle?

run-flat tyres

Run-flat tyres, popularly known as RFs, have been around for more than 80 years now. In the 1930s, the French giant Michelin had proposed a ‘self-supporting’ tyre. These models were also labelled as “semi-bulletproof”. In those times, RFs had a certain novelty value and were used for the protection of dignitaries and VIPs.

In the 1960s, as more companies like Dunlop & Continental started wide-scale manufacture of these models, the prices started to drop. By the ‘80s, almost all major tyre companies had their RF range.

Benefits of run-flats

There are several advantages of these models. We will list the most crucial ones here.

If your car is fitted with run-flat tyres, you will be safely able to ply a distance of 50 miles even after a puncture, provided you are maintaining a speed of 50mph. It gives you ample opportunity to reach a service station.

Since these units have toughened sidewalls, it is possible to carry a certain amount of load too. However, this threshold depends on the car’s weight and the number of passengers.

Finally, these tyres have certain advantages over the tubeless variants. If you are asked to choose between a set of tubeless and RF models as aftermarket options, the latter is your best bet.
