Run Flat Tyre Characteristics

   

Performance, Safety, Peace of Mind

Run Flat tyres mean safety. They provides greater control of your car in emergency conditions and allow you to continue driving safely even during a rapid loss of inflation pressure. With Run Flat, you will retain mobility, in the event of a puncture. So, if your tyre is punctured, even in the pouring rain, the Pirelli Self-Supporting Run Flat means you don't have to bother with the spare. Instead, you can continue driving for a limited period.

To ensure maximum safety during an emergency situation, the Run Flat tyre must maintain certain speed and distance parameters (80km/h for 80km or 50mph for 50 miles). Due to these restrictions, it's imperative that motorists be notified when a loss in tyre pressure occurs. Beginning September 2007, the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Administration) will require alarm systems in all new registered cars to detect and signal tyre pressure changes.
