Sudden air loss can be one of the most dangerous experiences for car drivers. Imagine a tyre that is highly resistant to fatigue and that can keep driving in the event of air loss pressure. A tyre that can handle almost all types of puncture, carrying you home or to a service station safely at any time.

Get to where you're going without delay
The RunOnFlat tyre delivers exactly what it promises: it will keep your car running for up to 80 k with no air pressure after a puncture or blow out. As incredible as it sounds, the tyre's reinforced sidewalls will support the weight of the car even when all the air pressure is gone. So whether you're on your way home from work or driving to your son's big football match, RunOnFlat technology makes sure you get there safely, and without delay.

The ultimate in road safety and comfort
Once your car has been fitted with RunOnFlat tyres, the danger of a high-risk blow out on a high-speed highway will be completely gone. Not only that, but changing tyres on the hard shoulder will be a thing of the past, as will those endless waits for the rescue service. RunOnFlat tyres will keep you on the road and make sure you reach your destination safely.

Say goodbye to flat tyres
RunOnFlat heralds a new era of safer roads. No longer will you have to worry about being stranded on the motorway or late for an important event because of a puncture, or even worse, having to deal with a potentially life-threatening blow out. Changing tyres on the hard shoulder will also be a thing of the past, as will waiting endlessly for the rescue service. So whatever happens, RunOnFlat technology will keep you on the road and make sure you reach your destination safely.

Everyone's problem... but not yours!

RunOnFlat heralds a new era of safer roads. No longer will drivers have to worry about being stranded or late because of a puncture, or even worse, having to deal with a potentially life threatening blow-out. Changing tyres on the hard shoulder will also be a thing of the past, as will waiting endlessly for the rescue service. So whatever happens to your tyres, RunOnFlat technology will keep you on the road and make sure you reach your destination safely.

Safety
The number one danger that most drivers fear is a high-speed blow out on the motorway. With RunOnFlat tyres fitted on your car, you can put that fear behind you for good. And RunOnFlat tyres will also keep you safe when previously you might have found yourself having to change a tyre on the hard shoulder, on busy roads, on bridges, in tunnels, and in many other dangerous situations.

Control
The reason why so many people are afraid of having a puncture or high-speed blow out on the motorway is because of the possibility of losing control of the car. With RunOnFlat tyres fitted to your wheels, you will maintain full control of your car after sudden air loss on motorways, even when cornering.

Mobility
A flat tyre is every driver's worst nightmare, especially as it always seems to happen at the worst possible time. Not only does RunOnFlat technology keep you safe from dangerous situations, it also offers the simple convenience of getting to your destination without delay. Whether you're taking your kids to school, running late for a business appointment, making an urgent delivery or driving a loved one to hospital for a medical emergency, you won't have to worry about a flat tyre. RunOnFlat technology will keep you going, no matter what happens.

Convenience

Goodyear's new RunOnFlat technology is based on the concept of reinforced sidewalls inside the tyre. When a standard tire deflates, it simply collapses under the weight of the car, allowing the beads to come off the rim and the sidewalls to be squashed onto the road. The pressure totally destroys the tyre within a few km's. The reinforced sidewalls in Goodyear's RunOnFlat tyres keep the tyre on the rim and succeed in carrying the weight of the car for up to 80 km's after a puncture with complete air pressure loss.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Throughout our long history, Goodyear has always been at the cutting edge of technological innovation. We produced the tyres for the first mass-produced passenger car, the first passenger jet aeroplane, the first racing speed record, the first vehicle on the moon, and the largest number of wins in F1 races.

The history of innovation
Innovation - the continuous flow of creative new ideas, products and materials - has always been at the very core of Goodyear's activities. The company established a major research facility in 1943, which has since received thousands of patents. Major inventions by Goodyear's scientists and technicians have been used not only in tyres and automotive products, but also in artificial hearts and joints, adhesives, artificial turf for playgrounds and food packaging, to name only a few. Goodyear Research was the training ground for Paul Flory, a Nobel laureate in the field of polymers. Two research associates have been awarded the Goodyear Medal, the highest award of the Rubber Division of the American Chemical Society, which honors scientists and engineers who have made outstanding innovations. Goodyear Research scientists and engineers today come from all over the world and continue working at the cutting edge of rubber and polymer science. They have also branched out into such diverse fields as computer science, physics, mathematics, engineering mechanics, metallurgy and others to create a myriad of unique materials and processes.

Looking back, you can see we've always looked forward

RunOnFlat is not available in Singaporea yet but we are looking into the arrangements to bring it in for Singaporean motorists. Like previous milestones in automotive history such as ABS and airbags, we believe that one day RunOnFlat will be fitted as standard in all cars. It is currently available on certain makes of car that have been specially fitted with TPMS (tyre pressure monitoring system) and customized suspension. TPMS is vital in warning the driver of a puncture, otherwise there would be no way of knowing.

As with any other tyre, the tyre pressure should be checked and corrected on a regular basis by the vehicle's owner.

Damage inspection, mounting / dismounting and tyre repair or replacement should only be done by a tyre or car dealer.

Tyre inflation
Underinflation is the leading cause of tyre failure. It reduces tyre load capacity and allows excessive sidewall flexing, resulting in high heat generation. Maintaining proper inflation is the single most important thing that the tyre owner can do to ensure tyre durability and maximum tread life. Pressure checks should be made when the tyres are cold. The recommended inflation pressure of the RunOnFlat tyre is indicated in the vehicle's owner manual.

Speed rating
The Goodyear/Dunlop RunOnFlat tyres fitted on a vehicle must carry a minimum speed rating as shown in the vehicle documents. Any RunOnFlat tyre must be replaced with a RunOnFlat tyre of identical type, size and speed rating.

Tyre treadwear
Legal rules for tyre treadwear in a country apply to RunOnFlat tyres.
