[ "PROS AND CONS OF RUN-FLAT TYRES;Tyres are always expected tohave a firm contact on the road. Other than this, one top quality is theability to resist punctures. Punctures are the most dreaded defect to face.They can make you stop in the middle of nowhere, where you can feel alone withno one around. This is exactly when the run-flat tyres come to the rescue. Manypeople prefer to go for run-flat tyres as compared to the standard onesA.WHAT ARE RUN FLAT TYRES?Run-flat Tyres Nottingham are built to resist deflation and punctures. Thisgives you an ample amount of time and mileage after a puncture has occured tofind a repair shop. Different brands of run-flat tyres have differentspecifications. These specifications state how fast and how far the vehicle canbe driven on these tyres. One has to note that they canonly be fitted to cars with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). TPMSgives you the measurement of tyres air pressure and tell you about thedropping levels of tyre pressureB. WORKING OF RUN-FLAT TYRESRun-flat tyres have a strongor reinforced sidewall construction. This helps in supporting the weight of thecar that ensures safety. This also helps in the prevention of wheel damage.They have a hard rubber ring, which contributes to supporting the vehicle'sweight after the air loss.This mechanism is what makesthem stand out from other standard tyres. They maintain control over steeringand braking after a puncture, which is important for stable drivingC.WHAT ARE THE PROS OF DRIVING ON RUN-FLAT TYRES?LOWER VEHICLE WEIGHTRun-flat tyres exempt the needto use the spare tyres and other repair tools. This exemption leaves a lot ofspace, which contributes to the lower weight of the overall vehicle. Today,many people are choosing run-flat tyres because of the lower weight thanconventional tyres. However, this might be a theory because sometimes, they areheavier than the standard onesCAN RUN EVEN AFTER A PUNCTUREAs mentioned above, run-flattyres can run even after a puncture up to 100 miles. This eventually reduces alot of stress. One does not have to worry about attaching the spare wheels tothe car by themselves in the middle of the road. But, a car can run-up to thatdistance only when a decent speed of 50 mph is maintained. For vehicle/tyrespecifications, refer to the owners manualCAN SUSTAIN BLOWOUTSWhile riding on standardtyres, there is always a risk of immediate blowouts happening. You might beexperiencing a smooth journey, and then suddenly, something dangerous happens.Run-flat tyres are resistant to deflation, which leads to less treaddestabilisation. This contributes to normal steering and handlingD. WHAT ARE THE CONS?SHORTER TREAD LIFERun-flat tyres are known tohave a shorter tread life. It is said that they are needed to replace earlierthan the conventional tyres (after every 60,000 miles). The reason may be thetreads made of softer compounds, which cause shorter tread lifeCOSTLYOne fact about the run-flattyres is that they cannot be repaired. Replacing conventional tyres withpremium run-flat tyres are expensive. This can also depend on the tyre type andthe location of purchase. ;COULDNT PREDICT THE AIRPRESSUREBecause of the stiff sidewallconstruction, it is difficult to know about the loss of air pressure as a bulgedoes not appear. Thats why it is recommended to have TPMS so that the drivergets the updates about the air pressure insideEnsure that the Tyre Fitting Nottingham of these tyresare correct for better performance and enhanced safety" ]
