Run-flat tires
Concept
Run-flat tires permit continued driving under
restricted conditions even in the event of a
complete loss of tire inflation pressure.
General information
The wheels consist of tires that are self-sup‐
porting, to a limited degree, and possibly spe‐
cial rims.
The support of the sidewall allows the tire to
remain drivable to a restricted degree in the
event of a tire inflation pressure loss.
Follow the instructions for continued driving
with a flat tire.
Safety information
WARNING
Your vehicle handles differently with a
run-flat with no or low inflation pressure; for in‐
stance, your lane stability when braking is re‐
duced, braking distances are longer and the
self-steering properties will change. There is a
risk of an accident.
Drive moderately and do not exceed a speed of
50 mph/80 km/h.◀
WARNING
Heavy trailers can start swinging when
continuing to drive with a flat tire. There is a
risk of accidents or risk of damage to property.
Do not exceed a speed of 35 mph/60 km/h
when driving with a trailer and a flat tire. Imme‐
diately brake in the case of swinging. Apply
necessary steering corrections as carefully as
possible.◀
Label
The tires are marked on the tire sidewall with
RSC Run-flat System Component.
