How many kilometers can a run-flat tire drive after losing air?
1 Answers
Run-flat tires can typically drive about 80 kilometers after losing air. The main purpose of run-flat tires is to prevent the vehicle from losing control in the event of sudden tire pressure loss. Run-flat tires consist of an outer tire, a standard inner tube, a spare inner tube, a steel rim, a gas generator, a pressure sensor, and a control unit. The characteristics of run-flat tires include: 1. Run-flat tires have support and resilience, allowing the wheel rim and tire to combine and support the vehicle in case of sudden air loss or a blowout, reducing danger; 2. After a blowout, run-flat tires do not immediately lose all air, enabling the driver to continue driving for a certain distance even with air leakage; 3. Run-flat tires feature reinforced sidewalls, enhancing the tire's usability.
