[ "WHATARE RUN-FLAT TYRE AND HOW DO THEY WORK?Run-flat tyres help the motorist to keep ondriving despite a puncture for specific miles. They maintain their shape tokeep the vehicle balanced on the road. These days latest cars have electronicaid for safety which prevents the sliding and brake is applied in an emergency,but this is favourable when tyres are in contact with the road.Why run-flat tyres?There are two reasons for using run-flat tyres1.If there is a blowout, they let the driver steer and brake rather than letting them turn to the roadside2.They withdraw the need to change the tyre at dangerous places like roads with no street lights at night timesPotholesmostly lead to puncture which in turn might lead to an accident if the driver loses control over the vehicle.Working on run-flat tyresIf there is an excessive load in your vehicle, the tyres support it in balancing the weight. If the pressure is removed from these tyres Kingswinford, there are chances of collisions and serious tyre damage. This is both time-consuming and expensive. You may also incur high chances of tyre getting off the wheel leading to major accidentsWhereas run-flat tyres have supportive and strong sidewalls that help in balancing the weight of the load. However, you must ensure a proper tyre balancing after fitting your vehicle with run-flat tyres Birmingham.How to determine a puncture?Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has been recommendedby the EU from the year 2014 and is fixed in the newly purchased vehicles. The system is present on all modern-day vehicles with run-flat tyre technology. A person who is driving cannot differentiate between the type of tyre usedbecause the system of braking, steering, and handling the vehicle is still the same, but to know that there is no air in the tyre, one must be indicated with an alarming sound. Hence in Run-flats, there is TPMS in fixed in the wheel. These TPMS work in two methods, i.e. -a direct method and an indirect methodDirect method: This method is carried out by measuring the temperature and pressureIndirect method: This method is carried out by checking on the rate of rotation of the wheel that is when there is a decrease in the air, the tyre moves faster than the one that is filled with air. This difference is detected by the sensors that are present in the anti-lock braking system.When the level of pressure is being reached after the addition of 20% extra air, a warning is sent to the driver via the dashboard. Once there is an alarming sound, one must travel at a fixed speed and to a fixed distance, not following may lead to an accident or crash or you may even lose your cars insurance. The speed and distance travelled after the alarm must be 50mph and 50miles respectively, which is sufficient to reach the garage, home, or a spot where the tyre can be replaced." ]
