The tires on the Mercedes-Benz C200 are not run-flat tires. Differences between run-flat tires and regular tires: Raw materials: Regular tires: Regular tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery for ground rolling. Run-flat tires: Run-flat tires use highly heat-resistant synthetic rubber materials. Tire construction: Regular tires: Regular tires typically consist of three parts: the outer tire, inner tube, and flap. Some don't require inner tubes, featuring an inner layer with excellent airtight rubber and requiring specialized rims. Run-flat tires: Run-flat tires have a layer of high-molecular composite material (soft solid gel-like) attached to the inner wall. When the tire is punctured by sharp objects, this material can quickly repair the perforation.

Can new tires still be used after being stored for 8 years?

Tires stored for eight years cannot be used. Tires have a certain lifespan, and they should not be used beyond that period because they are rubber products. Both spare tires and those in use have a specific aging limit. Below is relevant information about tires: 1. Function: Tires are one of the most important components of a vehicle. Their main functions include: supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the load of the car; transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure adhesion between the wheels and the road; reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving to prevent severe vibrations and early damage to vehicle components; adapting to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reducing noise during driving, ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel economy. 2. Composition: Tires are usually composed of three parts: the outer tire, inner tube, and flap. Some tires do not require an inner tube, as they have an inner layer of rubber with excellent airtightness and require specialized rims. The structure of tires worldwide is evolving toward tubeless, radial construction, flat (with a low height-to-width ratio of the tire cross-section), and lightweight designs.

Can a Car Without a Spare Tire Be Driven on the Road?

Can a Car Without a Spare Tire Be Driven on the Road? A car without a spare tire can be driven on the road. Here is some relevant information about car spare tires: 1. Introduction: A spare tire refers to a backup tire for a car, which usually has the same specifications as the original car tire. However, some vehicles use special-colored wheel rims, compact spare tires, folding spare tires, or run-flat tires as spare tires to remind the owner to inspect and replace faulty tires promptly. 2. Types of Spare Tires: Spare tires are mainly divided into full-size spare tires, non-full-size spare tires, and run-flat tires. Run-flat tires, also known as safety tires or commonly referred to as "anti-burst tires," differ from regular tires in that they do not leak or leak very slowly when punctured. They can maintain their driving profile, and the tire bead remains fixed on the rim, ensuring the car can drive for an extended period or temporarily to a repair station.
