Which Cars Use Run-Flat Tires?
1 Answers
Run-flat tires are used in brands such as BMW, Volvo S60, Ford S-MAX, Volkswagen R36, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and others. Below is relevant information about run-flat tires: 1. Introduction to run-flat tires: Run-flat tires, technically known as "tire pressure monitoring system tires," rely on the inflated tire sidewall to support the vehicle's weight, especially in tires with a larger aspect ratio (the ratio of tire height to width), where the sidewall is very "thick." 2. The difference between run-flat tires and regular tires: Run-flat tires have very thick sidewalls, and the inflated tire sidewall is the main part supporting the vehicle's weight. 3. The structure of run-flat tires: Run-flat tires consist of an outer tire, a common inner tire, a spare inner tire, a steel rim, a gas generator, a pressure sensor, and a control unit. Run-flat tires have special symbols following the specifications on the tire sidewall, which regular tires do not have.
