Can Regular Cars Be Equipped with Run-Flat Tires?

[McEva]

Regular cars can be equipped with run-flat tires if the specifications are suitable. Vehicles designed for run-flat tires have special matching designs in the chassis, suspension, and rims. Run-flat tires, also known as zero-pressure tires or extended mobility tires, work by having thickened sidewalls. Even when deflated, the thick sidewalls provide enough support to allow the car to continue driving, rather than truly preventing blowouts or punctures. Their durability is simply higher than that of other tires on the market. Run-flat tires are harder than regular tires and become even stiffer in low-temperature environments, which can reduce tire grip and climbing ability. It's important to note that although run-flat tires can support the car for a certain distance when deflated, they still suffer significant damage. If driven too far in this condition, the tires will still be ruined, so run-flat tires should be repaired promptly if they lose air.
