[ "BRIDGESTONEPERFECTS THE RUN-FLAT TYRES;Tyres are always counted for safety. They arealways expected to take you safely to your destination but punctures are themost haunting defect to face. They can make you stop in the middle of nowhere.Bridgestone is said to have made their run-flat systems more perfect with theefforts being put in continuously for making the technology better. Many peopleare preferring to go for run-flat tyres as compared to the standard onesA WHAT ARE RUN FLAT TYRES?Run-flat Tyres Arnold is built toresist deflation and punctures. This gives you enough time to pull over andfind 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. These tyres give you a range of up to 100 miles evenafter all the air has gone away from them. However, the speeds have to bereduced by 50 mph to get a maximum range. The cooling fin technology byBridgestone is built to reduce the heat build-up while facing air pressure loss.One has to note down that they can be onlyfitted to cars which have the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). TPMS givesyou the measurement of tyres air pressure and indicates you about the droppinglevels of tyre pressure. Technical and Product Specialist, Bridgestone SouthAfrica, Ary Coetzee says, Run-flat tyres are now ready for mainstream use,with tremendous safety and convenience benefits.Run-flat tyres have a strong or reinforcedsidewall construction. This helps in supporting the weight of the car thathelps in keeping up with the safety. This also helps in the prevention of wheeldamage. This will support the car after the loss of air pressure up to thespeed and distance specified by the car manufacturer. It is important to readthe owners manual so that one has an idea of the specifications of theirmodel. They have a hard rubber ring which contributes in supporting the weightof the vehicle after the air loss.This mechanism is what makes them stand outfrom other standard tyres. They keep control over steering and braking, whichis really important for controlled drivingB. BRIDGESTONES RUN-FLAT TYRES DEVELOPMENTBridgestone has been a pioneer of developingrun-flat tyre systems. The development of Tyres Arnold goes back to The 1980s when the strong sidewall construction was made for disabled people. Then,in 1987, run-flat tyres started getting produced as an original fitment forPorsche 959.In the 1990s, they successfully developed TyrePressure Monitoring Systems to check the air pressure and amount of air loss.It was also successful in constructing roll flat support systems so that thecars could run even after the puncture. Shortly after these developments,run-flat tyres started to go on sale under the Firestone brand in North America.In 2002, Bridgestone and Continental welcomedYokohama into a co-operative venture so that they can develop run-flat tyresfor cars and SUVs. Bridgestone also started selling run-flat tyres for BMWmodels.In 2004, the run-flat tyre shipments reachedone million. It topped three million in 2005. This is also the year when theycommercialised support ring-type run-flat systems. They launched the Bridgestonerun-flat system website in 2006. In 2007, they developed cooling fintechnology.Tyres Arnold are made with advanced technology that contributes to safeand smooth ride" ]
