Can a run-flat tire be replaced individually? Introduction to run-flat tires: Run-flat tires are technically known as "Self-Supporting Run-flat Tires", abbreviated as RSC. The inflated sidewall of the tire is the main part that supports the weight of the vehicle, especially for tires with a larger aspect ratio (the ratio of tire height to width), where the sidewall is very thick. Precautions for using run-flat tires: There is a phenomenon called "standing waves" in car tires, which often occurs when driving at excessive speeds. This phenomenon can rapidly increase tire temperature, accelerate rubber aging, and easily cause delamination and rupture, leading to tire blowouts. To ensure even wear across all tires and extend their service life, it is necessary to regularly rotate the tires as specified, usually during secondary maintenance. Vehicles frequently driven on highways should adopt the rotation method.
