"Run-Flat" Tire For ATVs
Goodyear says they're the first run-flat tires designed specifically for ATVs. They can be driven for 50 miles at 25 mph even after being punctured or cut.
A stiff sidewall insert provides the structural stiffness to perform without any air. Since the tire doesn't collapse like a standard tire would, the wheel won't be damaged as you drive the ATV back home, notes the company. And repairs can be made in the same manner as a standard tire. No special tools are needed.
"There will be a premium charged for the EMT technology; however, we think the security and convenience of never again being stranded by a flat tire will offset any price increase," says the company.
