Run-Flat Tire TIRES/WHEELS Miscellaneous 18-1-5 Pictured above is the new "Run-Flat" tire from Bridgestone after being deliberately driven completely deflated for 2,800 miles.
"Most people can't make it to a gas station with a flat tire. We made it 2,800 miles,' says Bridgestone of its new tire. It occupied the right front position on a Callaway Corvette convertible and, after being deliberately deflated, was driven non-stop for four days over a 2,800 mile course through 13 states.
Bridgestone's new "Run-Rat" is a complete system that includes radio-controlled low-tire pressure sensors, special alloy wheels and uniquely-designed sidewalls ù a tire engineered so that with little or no air pressure, it can run at 55 mph for up to 50 miles, providing ample opportunity to get off a dark shoulder, over a bridge, through a tunnel, or possibly make it all the way home ù if and when a tire suddenly blows or deflates.
For more information on the new "Run-Flat" from Bridgestone, call 800 452-2812 or 203 434-3010.
