What is the Principle of Run-Flat Tires?
1 Answers
Run-Flat Tires Principle: Run-flat tires, also known as "Self-Supporting Run-Flat Tires" (RSC), consist of RSC tires mounted on EH2 rims and a TPI electronic warning system. Once the tire pressure begins to drop, the RSC immediately alerts the driver. Even if the tire pressure drops to zero, the RSC ensures that the tire remains securely fixed to the rim, allowing the vehicle to continue driving for a certain distance. RSC run-flat tires can still travel up to 250 kilometers at a speed of 80 km/h even if punctured on the road. This not only saves the cost of a spare tire but also allows the driver to proceed to a repair shop after a flat tire. Additionally, run-flat tires significantly enhance driving safety.
