How far can a BMW run-flat tire travel at 0 tire pressure?

In the event of a tire deflation, the vehicle can travel up to 250 kilometers at a speed of 80 km/h. Here are specific details about run-flat tires: 1. The reason run-flat tires do not collapse after losing air is due to their thickened rubber sidewalls. Even when air pressure is lost, the sidewalls can still support the vehicle's weight without causing severe deformation. Therefore, a flat tire does not significantly affect the vehicle's operation, and the driver may not even notice it. 2. In vehicles equipped with run-flat tires, minor air leaks may go unnoticed by the driver. Hence, the RSC (Run-flat System Component) includes a TPI (Tire Pressure Indicator) electronic warning system installed on the wheel rim. Once the tire pressure begins to drop, the RSC immediately alerts the driver.
