Types and technology of Run-flat tyres

Self-supporting system

Self-supporting run-flat tyres come with rigid sidewalls and internal support that enables the punctured tyre to rest on it instead on the rim. The reinforced sidewall construction helps vehicles to move further even at the loss of air pressure as per the manufacturer specified speed and distance.

Support ring system

Self-sealing tyres have a ring of hard rubber inside them and are capable of responding quickly if the tyre suffers a prick by sharp objects like nail or screw. This type of tyres works similarly as tyre sealant work and fights against further damage.

Auxiliary supported tyre

Auxiliary supported tyres are the toughest of the three. Army/ Military, VIPs, Government armoured vehicles are equipped with these tyres. This variant of run-flat tyres is bullet-proof and can carry heavy loads at high speeds for long distances.
