The sole purpose of using Armored Vehicles for transporting people and valuables is to ensure the safety and security of its occupants from any unexpected and potential threats on their move. Installing Run-Flat Tires are one of the protective add-ons to these armored and bulletproof vehicles. Run Flat system ensures protection to the tires and the wheels of the armored vehicles, which are considered to be one of the most vulnerable parts of any vehicle. When the tires get damaged due to terrain or any kind of ballistic attack, it will affect the mobility of the vehicle resulting in unsecured driving.
Run-Flat tires contain alloy or composite material doughnut-shaped ring inside the tire. This ring lies discretely within the rubber tire and gives special protection to the vehicle. The sidewalls of the tire are heavily reinforced for supporting the vehicle when the air pressure is low or when the tire lost all the pressure. When the armored vehicles are fitted with run-flat tires, it can increase the weight of your vehicle, but it enables the vehicle to maneuver another 70-80 Kilometers even after the tire is shot, at an average speed of 60 mph. Even after a tire blow out, these run-flat tires will be able to support the vehicle without air, ensuring the stable handling and steering.
Some of the pros of installing Run-Flat Tires:
- Enables you to move quickly to a safer area where you can replace your tires
- Run Flat tires are easy to fit (Approx 1 hour)
- Not much impact on the performance or life of your tires
- Maintain the complete control of your vehicle, on time of tire failure.
It is also important for the driver to pay attention to the warning and do not drive beyond the zero pressure range as there is a chance for the tire to disintegrate and if by any chance a tire puncture happens on the sidewall or hit a big object, it may affect the mobility of the vehicle. Keep in mind Run-Flat Tires are not repairable, but the benefits the Run-Flat Tires offering to an armored vehicle will likely to outweigh it.
Maintenance Tip: Increase the life of your run-flat tires by checking their tire pressure, depth and tire condition periodically.
Thus a properly crafted Armored vehicle is incomplete without installing Run-Flat Tires, so we recommend to install them on every vehicle that we armor.
