Run-flat tires
!
WARNING:
If a run-flat is deflated maximum
vehicle speed must not exceed 80 km/h
(50 mph).
Run-flat tires can be identified by the
lettering RSC on the sidewall. The tire
construction utilises a specially reinforced
sidewall which allows the vehicle to be
driven at restricted speeds even when the
tire is depressurised. Run-flat tires can
only be fitted to special rims constructed
for run-flat tire use.
A tire pressure monitoring system is
mandatory when the vehicle is fitted with
run-flat tires, see page 267.
If the tire in a deflated the vehicle should
be driven with caution, as handling
characteristics will be different compared
to a fully inflated tire.
If the vehicle is fully laden with
passengers and luggage, the maximum
distance that can be completed on a fully
deflated tire is approximately
80 kilometres (50 miles).
Stop immediately if the tire construction
begins to break down, or if the tire
dislodges from the wheel rim. Typically,
this will be accompanied with excessive
vibration.
A tire driven in a deflated condition it must
be replaced.
Vehicles fitted with run-flat tires are not
fitted with a spare wheel or jacking
equipment. Therefore, run-flat tires
should be replaced with the same type of
tire.
