KUSTONE QUIET Q7 RUNFLAT - 205 55 R16 91V

RunFlat technology allows the tyre to continue rolling for a limited distance (e.g., 80 km) at a reduced speed (e.g., 80 km/h) even after a complete loss of air pressure. This provides safety and convenience, enabling you to reach a service station without immediate roadside assistance.

Most vehicles equipped with RunFlat tyres also have a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that will alert you when a tyre has lost pressure. Visually, a RunFlat tyre may not appear significantly deflated.

Whether a RunFlat tyre can be repaired after a puncture depends on the type of damage and the tyre manufacturer's guidelines. Some damage may not be repairable, and the tyre may need replacement. Always consult a professional tyre service centre.

The primary difference is the reinforced sidewall construction of the RunFlat tyre, which supports the vehicle's weight when deflated. This can sometimes lead to a firmer ride compared to standard tyres.

The '91' is the load index, indicating the tyre can support a maximum load of 615 kg. The 'V' is the speed rating, indicating the tyre is approved for speeds up to 240 km/h (149 mph).

While RunFlat tyres are designed to work with standard wheels, some manufacturers recommend specific rim designs for optimal performance and safety, especially regarding bead seating. Consult your vehicle or wheel manufacturer's specifications.

Maintain correct tyre pressures as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer, inspect for wear and damage regularly, and seek professional advice if you experience any issues or after using the RunFlat capability.

Check tyre pressures immediately using a gauge. If a specific tyre is low, it may be punctured. Follow the RunFlat procedure if necessary and get the tyre inspected by a professional.

This could indicate uneven wear, imbalance, or internal tyre damage. Have the tyre inspected by a qualified technician.

RunFlat tyres can offer a firmer ride. Ensure tyre pressures are set to the manufacturer's recommendations. Significant discomfort may warrant a professional inspection.

This is the intended function of RunFlat technology. Drive cautiously at reduced speed to a safe location or service centre and have the tyre inspected and repaired or replaced.
