How far can a run-flat tire drive when it's flat?
1 Answers
According to different brands, the distance may vary. Generally, at a speed not exceeding 80KM/H, it can drive about 80 kilometers. The following is a detailed introduction about run-flat tires: 1. Definition: The scientific name of run-flat tires is "Run-flat System Component", abbreviated as RSC. It usually consists of an outer tire, a common inner tube, a spare inner tube, a steel rim, a gas generator (or gas storage chamber), a pressure sensor, and a control unit. 2. Working principle: The reason why run-flat tires do not collapse after losing air is mainly due to the thickened rubber sidewall. Even if the air pressure is lost, the sidewall can still support the weight of the vehicle without causing severe deformation. Therefore, a flat tire does not seriously affect the vehicle's driving, and the owner may not even feel it.
