[ "Our cars are said to be our perpetual partners in this journey of life. All those for whom, driving is their passion, theyll understand this statement even better. Who wouldnt love to drive a car free of any obstacles? In this, tyres play a mighty role in making our drive safe and comfortable. Though this might sound cliched to some, a good car is nothing without equally good tyresThink of the situation, when you are out on the road manoeuvring your car through a hilly terrain, and just then you witness a puncture in one of the tyres of your car. What would you do in such a condition? You might find stranded yourself at a lonely place like this. Well, this is where run flat;tyres Bilston;play a significant role. Lets first understand what exactly these tyres areWhat are run flat tyres?These are the tyres which allow you to drive your car even after getting a puncture in them. Normal tyres would generally lay flat on the ground, disrupting your drive, irrespective of the place you are in. But a run flat tyre, wouldnt let that happen to you. It would let you drive to some more distance so that you can at least take your car to some auto shop or to a safe place to change your tyre.However, these tyres can only work best if your car has a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). In the absence of this system, you might not get to know that you are running your vehicle on a deflated or an underinflated tyresWhat is the modus operandi of these tyres?Run flat tyres can broadly be divided into two main categories  the self-supporting system and the support ring system.The former category is more in use when it comes to producing a run flat tyre. In this, the sidewalls of the;tyres Wednesbury;are quite strong, which keep the balance of the vehicle intact even when the pressure in the tyres is too low or even when all the pressure is lost in the tyresIn the latter category, the layer of the tyre is sealed with a sealant, which in turn helps in maintaining the air pressure in case the puncture takes place. This means, a small rupture in the tyre can be fixed on its own, if the puncture has occurred close to the center of the tyre and its not more than 5 millimeters in size. Lets analyze some pros and cons of these tyresBenefits of the run flatsHelp in driving for miles;- the best part about these tyres is that they can run on the road even after getting a puncture for approximately 100 miles.

If youre going for a premium run flat tyre, then you must be prepared to shell out a hefty sum of money.Difficult to detect air pressure;- unless the car has a tyres pressure monitoring system, its difficult to detect the air pressure, which might become risky at times.No easy availability;- these tyres arent very easily available in every tyre shop. So, at times you might get stranded somewhere in search of another tyre.Low shelf life;- these;tyres Wednesbury;need to be replaced sooner than expected. In a study conducted regarding this, it was found that users of these tyres replaced them 6000 miles sooner than the users of traditional tyresWell, whichever tyres you decide to buy, just be an informed buyer.
