Can Regular Sedans Be Equipped with Run-Flat Tires?
1 Answers
Regular cars can be fitted with run-flat tires, but it is generally not recommended to install run-flat tires on vehicles that were not originally equipped with them. This is because vehicles designed for run-flat tires have specific matching designs, such as the chassis, suspension, and wheel rims. Additionally, run-flat tires have rigid sidewalls that can compensate for the effects of air loss. Here is some information about run-flat tires: 1. Definition: Run-flat tires are officially known as "Run-Flat System Component" tires, abbreviated as RSC. The inflated sidewall of the tire is the main part that supports the vehicle's weight, especially for tires with a larger aspect ratio (the ratio of tire height to width), where the sidewall is very "thick." 2. Development History: In 2001, the first RSC run-flat tire made its debut.
