What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Run-Flat Tires?
1 Answers
The comparison of the pros and cons of run-flat tires is as follows: 1. Advantages: (1) They adopt reinforced sidewall technology, aiming to allow the vehicle to drive up to 80 kilometers at a speed of 80 km/h even when the tire is at zero pressure. (2) Run-flat tires have the function of being puncture-resistant due to their thicker sidewalls, and when an RSC tire suddenly loses pressure, it can still support the car's movement with its thicker sidewall, preventing the steering wheel from losing control due to a tire blowout. 2. Disadvantages: (1) Driving safety, convenience, and comfort cannot be compatible, and the selling price and maintenance costs are relatively high. (2) TPI cannot replace the driver's regular checks of tire pressure. After each change in tire pressure or installation of new tires, the driver needs to reinitialize the TPI system following a simple and convenient operation procedure to save the tire data.
