How Long Can a BMW Drive with a Punctured Tire?
1 Answers
BMWs are equipped with run-flat tires, which allow the vehicle to continue driving for up to 80 kilometers at a speed not exceeding 80 km/h even if the tire loses pressure instantly after being punctured. Run-Flat Tires: The technical name for run-flat tires is "Tire Pressure Monitoring System," abbreviated as RSC. These run-flat tires consist of an outer tire, a standard inner tube, a spare inner tube, a steel rim, a gas generator (or air chamber), a pressure sensor, and a control unit. Function of Run-Flat Tires: Run-flat tires have the ability to prevent blowouts due to their thicker sidewalls. Even when an RSC tire loses pressure suddenly, the thicker sidewalls can support the vehicle to continue driving, preventing the steering wheel from losing control due to a tire blowout.
