Will Run-Flat Tires Lose Control After a High-Speed Blowout?

[DelAthena]

Run-flat tires will not lose control after a high-speed blowout. The loss of control during a blowout occurs because the sudden loss of tire pressure changes the grip, leading to an imbalance in traction between the left and right sides. After a run-flat tire blows out, the sidewall can still support the vehicle, so the grip does not change significantly, and the traction on both sides remains roughly equal. As long as the blowout occurs within the speed limit, the vehicle should not lose control. Run-flat tires can maintain balance: This does not mean they can prevent blowouts or leaks; their magic lies in the rigid sidewalls. When a tire loses air pressure, the vehicle would normally lose balance immediately, causing the tire to collapse and detach from the rim, leaving only the rim to maintain balance. The biggest advantage of run-flat tires: In the event of a tire leak, even if the tire loses all air pressure, it does not need to be replaced immediately. The vehicle can still continue driving at a speed of up to 80 km/h, giving the driver enough time to safely reach the nearest auto repair shop.
