What Does Run-Flat Tire Mean?

Run-flat tires are officially known as "tire pressure monitoring system tires", abbreviated as RSC. The sidewall of an inflated tire is the main part that supports the weight of the vehicle, especially for tires with a larger aspect ratio (the ratio of tire height to width), where the sidewall is very "thick". Below is some information about run-flat tires: 1. Tire Safety: In the event of a tire deflation, a run-flat tire allows the vehicle to continue driving at a speed of 80 km/h for up to 80 kilometers; if the driver has no experience driving after a tire blowout (most people don't), they might make incorrect driving maneuvers (such as sudden braking), which could lead to an uncontrollable and irrecoverable loss of vehicle control. 2. Development History: In 2001, the first RSC run-flat tire made its debut.
