Can a BMW 5 Series still drive with a flat tire?
1 Answers
BMW's entire lineup of run-flat tires allows continued driving up to 150KM at speeds not exceeding 80KM/H after a puncture; in cases of complete air loss, the vehicle can still travel for 1000KM. Introduction to tires: Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery for ground rolling. Typically installed on metal rims, they support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, maintain contact with the road surface, and ensure driving performance. Tire composition: Tires usually consist of three parts: the outer tire, inner tube, and flap. Some designs eliminate the need for an inner tube by incorporating an air-tight rubber layer inside the tire body, requiring specialized rims. Globally, tire structures are evolving towards tubeless designs, radial construction, flat profiles (with a small ratio of tire section height to width), and lightweight materials.
