This lightweight, high strength tire insert adds a real measure of safety and performance to vehicles of all types.
Primarily used for security and commercial applications, the Run-Flat device is made from a reinforced polymer to provide wheel position support and mobility in the event of tire failure.
The Run-Flat System Supports the Weight of the Vehicle
During Run-Flat mode, the vehicle maintains mobility, steering capability and secure breaking in the event of tire failure due to a blow out or any other cause. The device also allows for maintaining control of the vehicle during a high-speed blow out.
Design to Satisfy Your Requirements
The Run-Flat device is fitted by the customer – mounted securely around a standard rim underneath the tire and is not in contact with the tire during normal fully inflated operation.
The Run-Flat system consists of sections made with polyester elastomer material, which is a flexible yet very strong and tough polymer. This material exhibits excellent heat resistance, and withstands deterioration by grease, oil, lubricant and other automotive chemicals.
