About Run Flat Tyres

A number of leading car manufacturers, have started to equip their vehicles with Run Flat or Mobility Tyres.

This revolutionary tyre design allows the vehicle to continue moving despite a loss of tyre pressure and is able to function as a "get home" solution. This avoids the inconvenience of all that may be associated with changing the tyre at the roadside.

Run flat tyres offer the following benefits over conventional tyres:

  • Increased safety - in the event of sudden tyre deflation the vehicle remains controllable
  • Less inconvenience & improved safety - no need to change the tyre & wheel assembly at the roadside in possible dark and/or during inclement weather conditions and or on busy highways
  • Weight & Space saving - no spare wheel is necessary when run flat tyres are fitted hence a saving of boot space and a possible improvement in fuel saving, assuming the comparsion is made with a vehicle equipped with tyres having similar rolling resistance

It is essential when using run flat tyres that they are operated in conjunction with a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), to ensure the driver is informed when there is any loss of pressure.

Run flat tyres are designed to have a "get you home capability" and depending on the particular tyre brand, can be operated up to a distance of 100km, provided the maximum speed of the vehicle does not exceed 80km/hr. It is suggested you refer to the particular tyre manufacturer's recommendations for their specific guidelines.

Tyres designed with this type of technology are Bridgestone RFT, Continental SSR, Dunlop DSST, Dunlop ROF, Goodyear EMT, Goodyear ROF, Michelin Zero Pressure and Pirelli Eufori.

  • DSST = Dunlop Self-Supporting Technology
  • EMT= Extended Mobility Tyre
  • RFT = Run Flat Tyre
  • ROF = Run on Flat
  • SSR = Self Supporting Run-Flat Tyre
