[ "RUN-FLAT TYRES: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOWRun tyres are tyres that are designed in such a way that they keep working for a limited time even if they have no air pressure. This means that even after a puncture, you can drive for almost 50 miles without changing the tyreDunlop Tyres has come out as a pioneer of run-flat technology, with stronger sidewalls and an internal layer of sealant that adds to hassle-free ride.Dunlop Tyres has come out as a pioneer of run-flat technology, with stronger sidewalls and an internal layer of sealant that adds to hassle-free ride.How do run-flat tyres work?Conventional tyres need air pressure to stay firm; whereas, run-flat tyres have a hard sidewall that makes them stay rigid without air pressure. However, this isnt permanent and its only recommended to drive around 50 miles after the tyre has deflated.Are run-flat tyres repairable?These tyres arent repairable because they lose their structural stability after being used making them not suitable for a puncture repair. Even if you patch up the puncture, itll most likely puncture again as it loses its hardness.This is the biggest drawback that run-flat tyres have compared to conventional tyres. The traditional tyres can be repaired and are available at a cheaper costHow to know when run-flats tyres have a puncture?When a person is on-road driving a vehicle, there might be an incidence of one or even multiple tyres being deflated due to unforeseen circumstances. For these situations, manufacturers have incorporated a tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that keeps in check the air pressure in each tyre and alarms the driver if it goes beyond a certain threshold. It is particularly because, without an alert system like this, it would not be possible for the person driving to sense a punctured tyre. It is because it does not result in any loss of control of the car, especially if only one tyre is affected.The TPMS fitted in modern cars are designed in a way that attracts the drivers attention so that they can take action as soon as possible. Generally, the TPMS indicates to the driver the maximum distance the car can travel without causing any other considerable damages in the event of a tyre puncture. The driver has to then make sure to halt and look for a replacement or a tyre repair, depending on the severity of the damages.How long do run-flat tyres last?The lifespan of run-flat tyres is similar to that of traditional car tyres. This is because they have the same rubber compound. These tyres wear at the same pace that of traditional tyres despite having a hard component. To keep your tyres in good shape, regular inspection of the tyre pressure and tread depth every three weeks is importantCost of run-flat tyresRun-flat tyres are expensive as they are not available in large numbers. They can only be fitted in certain cars. The fact that they cant be repaired makes them more expensive as if your tyre wears out then the only solution to fix it is to buy a new tyre." ]
