[ "The Purpose and Meaning of Run Flat TyresRun Flat tyres are the saving grace of drivers from all across the globein case they encounter a blowout. The stability of the vehicle remainsunharmed, as these tyres retain the strength and shape of the tyre.Modern-day vehiclesare equipped with many safety aids mostly that are electronic to preventskidding or that may enable timely application of brakes in case of acollision. These aids are only functional if the;tyres Birmingham;are in complete contact with thesurface of the roadAmongstmany other advantages, their main benefits are:a.Completecontrol for braking and steering, post a puncture.b.Eliminatesthe need of having to change the;tyres Wolverhampton;inundesirable conditions, such as a road which is not lit properly or on anemergency stopping lane.Punctures are common on roads with potholes which could also result inan accident. These are responsible for damages of about one-third of thevehicles as the driver loses control, which results in an accident.How do run-flat tyres function?No vehicle can run without a good set of tyres as they support the loadof the car. If the air pressurised in the tread is removed, the tyre wouldcrumple under the vehicles load. This may ultimately lead to the replacementof the tyre. It may also branch off from the wheel of the car. The sidewalls ina run-flat tyre are very strong and designed in a way that they have beadingwithin the wheels rim to keep the tyre attached to the wheel even minus theair. Once the temperature is controlled and the load is taken care of, thedriving experience would be smooth. For instance, DriveGuard series ofBridgestone has a patent of a high-tech cooling design for the run-flats. Theyreallocate the friction as well as the heat post a punctureA tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is placed in the wheel and workwith a direct method that measures the temperature and pressure of the tyre.The other is the indirect method in which, sensors are placed in the anti-lockbraking system that identifies the differences in the wheel rotation rate.Hence, run-flat tyres should only be used with a car that has a TPMS in place. Ifthe air pressure drops more than 25 per cent, the system would raise an alarmfor the owner in the form of a yellow-light present on the dashboard. It can belocated as a yellow symbol of the cross-section of the tyre indicating thewarning signal.Different run-flat technologies by tyre makers: Goodyear; EMT or ROF Continental; SSR Bridgestone DriveGuard ROF or     RFT or RSC Yokohama; ZPS Dunlop; DSST or ROF Pirelli; RSC Michelin; ZPMultiple manufacturers of cars such as MINI, Mercedes and BMW come withrun-flat tyres as standards. Although, they are are a little expensive than thetraditional tyres but are worthwhile from the safety perspective. Hence, itwould be beneficial to do proper research and gain knowledge about thedifferent technologies available in tyres today before spending money to buy." ]
