Ask A TIRECRAFT Tech: What Are Bridgestone Run Flat Tires?

As their name suggests, Bridgestone run flat tires are designed to keep working even after incurring damage that would leave other tires flat and unusable.

Whereas conventional tires use only pressurized air to support the weight of the vehicle, Bridgestone run flat tires are built with a backup plan. When you drive over sharp objects or road hazards that would puncture and flatten standard tires, your Bridgestone run flats’ reinforced sidewalls take over, carrying the weight of your vehicle and maintaining tire performance for up to 80 kilometers at speeds as high as 80km/h. .

Using NanoPro-Tech engineering, Bridgestone run flat tires’ sidewall supports are designed on a molecular level to resist heat buildup and maintain their shape under pressure. Additionally, each tire is built with innovative cooling fins that reduce heat buildup in the event of a puncture. Together, these features keep drivers safe, mobile, and in-control, no matter what the road may bring.

What Are The Benefits Of Bridgestone Run Flat Tires?

In addition to providing superior safety and confidence for drivers who frequently encounter hazards and poor road conditions, Bridgestone run flat tires offer:

• Superior cost control, giving drivers more choice between tire repair shops, rather than being forced to pay a premium for mobile repair services, and making it so that drivers do not need to pay extra for spare tires;
• Eco-friendliness, contributing to reduced landfill waste and eliminating the need for spare tires and wheels;
• More interior storage space, as you no longer need to stow a spare tire in your trunk;
• Peace of mind, as there is no need to stop and change tires by road side immediately after air loss is detected, so you can finish your journey or work commute and find repairs at your convenience;
