Can Run-Flat Tires Still Be Driven When Completely Flat?
1 Answers
Run-flat tires can still be driven when completely flat, but only for a short distance. Here is some information about run-flat tires: 1. Run-flat tires are not actually explosion-proof. These tires can only rely on the support of their rigid sidewalls to allow the car to continue driving for a certain distance when the tire pressure is too low, enabling the driver to reach the nearest repair shop for tire repair. 2. The sidewalls of run-flat tires are very rigid and can fully support the vehicle's weight even when the tire is flat. 3. Due to their extremely rigid sidewalls, run-flat tires are very prone to sidewall bulges. When using run-flat tires, it is important to note that if driving over potholes or speed bumps, you should try to reduce speed as much as possible, otherwise the sidewalls of run-flat tires can easily develop bulges.
