3. Know About The Run-Flat Car Tyres On Your Vehicle Driving on roads, in different seasons must have given you a lot of knowledge about different types of tyres, tyres for every weather and terrains. So assuming, you might well be aware of run-flat tyres if you've suddenly noticed you require a tyre replacement. You could be curious about what they are, how they operate, and how to tell if your automobile requires them. It's not hard to tell the difference between run-flat and other types of tyres. But you must be cautious not to blend things together.

5. Definition Of A Run-Flat Tyre The ‘run-flat tyres” are a category of tyres that have a very strong sidewall. It also implies if you acquire a rupture, they'll still continue to act for a while to allow you sufficient opportunity to get to the next tyre repair shop. But, it is advised by the experts that you must only drive with the run-flat tyres on, that have been ruptured for much less than 50 miles and at a speed of less than 50 mph. This also implies that the Run Flat Tyres Maidstone must be used in combination with a TPMS since they remain partially inflated. This also allows you to drive with them before you could feel or see a rupture in your tyre.

6. Examine the Tyre's Marks. One of the best methods to determine your run-flat tyres is by their tyre marks. Look for it on all of your four tyres. Some tyres of branded companies like Bridgestone, Goodyear, Michelin Tyres Maidstone, Yokohama, and Dunlop, even have some codes written on them to identify the run-flat tyres. Examples are ROF (run-flat tyres), EMT (Extended Mobility Technology), ZP and ZSP. No matter what the code reads, they indicate the same thing. They say that your tyres should only run for another 50 miles after getting a puncture. This is also applicable if the speed is below 50mph. It’s a tyre after all, not magic! This is important because if the ruptured tyre heats up, it may create further severe splits, necessitating the need for an emergency repair professional. The speed limit on ruptured run-flat tyres has the unintentional consequence of auto repair experts refusing to fix run-flat tyres since there is no means of knowing if the distance or speed limit has been over. Fixing a run-flat tyre that has beyond this limitation is inclined to leave it structurally unstable, posing a far higher risk of further damage.

8. Consult Your Owner's Handbook for More Information Last but not least, review your owner's manual to see what kind of tyres are there on your vehicle.
