After the loss of air pressure, the tire supports the weight of the vehicle and the passengers for 50 miles and up to 50 mph, thanks to the special reinforced run flat tires. In the case of air pressure loss the driver can safely arrive at a destination to repair or change the tire. This means the driver will not be stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire. Since run flat tires are heavier, they should not be mixed with regular radial tires.

The tread pattern and the tire compound used in its manufacture grip the road firmly in all weather conditions. The PROactive Edge technology provides additional biting edges, further enhancing its dry, wet and winter traction. The lateral and circumferential grooves in the tread pattern help eliminate water from under the footprint. This makes the tire hydroplaning resistant and makes the driving experience safer even in deeper water.

The larger footprint along with the optimized shoulder lug stability boosts the steering responsiveness and precision of the tire model. The driver can react quicker to the differing road conditions and situations. The superb stability and steering accuracy promote a better high speed performance.
