Run-flat tyres

Run-flat tyres have reinforced, self-
supporting sidewalls, which ensure
that the tyres always have a certain
amount of driveability, even when
there is no pressure.
Run-flat tyres are only permitted on

vehicles with electronic stability
program and tyre pressure monitoring
system or deflation detection system.
Check tyre pressures regularly
even if run-flat tyres are fitted.

flat tyres can be identified from a
marking on the tyre wall. E.g.
ROF = RunonFlat for Goodyear or
SSR = Self Supporting Runflat Tyre
