run-flat tires

Run-flat tires are designed to allow you to continue driving temporarily after a puncture or loss of air pressure. They have strengthened sidewalls that support the vehicle’s weight even when the tire is flat, enabling you to typically drive for about 50 miles at reduced speeds. This feature enhances safety by reducing the risk of losing control or being stranded. However, they often cost more and may offer a stiffer ride compared to regular tires. Run-flat tires are valuable for added convenience and safety, especially in emergencies or long trips where immediate roadside assistance isn’t available.
