Video tutorial

This video shows the difference between a standard tyre and a runflat tyre, which has reinforced sidewalls that can support the tyre even in the event of a puncture, for approximately 50 miles at a speed of 50 mph. This allows you to reach a repair centre without issues, maintaining full control of the vehicle even with a punctured tyre, and without damaging the wheel or the tyre itself.

The structure of a tyre consists of the sidewall, bead, and tread, and the video clearly demonstrates the difference between a standard tyre and a runflat tyre.

These tyres are particularly suitable for low temperatures, making them perfect as winter tyres.
