Hey guys,

As some of you have seen me posted before, I am a tire engineer working for one of the top 4 premium manufacturer. I write mostly about tires on my blog here https://toptirereview.com/. My ultimate goal is to enable consumers to make a more knowledgeable decision when it comes to buying tires and I hope I can do so by using my website as a medium of information.

Anyways, since I am bored and its Sunday, I would take questions related to tires.

Feel free to ask any questions in regards to tires and I will try to answer as good as I can.

Thanks!

maybe shop was mentioning old type run flat.
new one will not explode, but still leak. so we need to patch d hole. same as normal tyre
otherwise u let it leak until low pressure then drive long distance generate high heat explode

Sidewall puncture is not recommended for repair as this area incurs the highest amount of stress during normal use. Hence sidewall damage is usually classified as unrepairable.

Just to clarify tires would not explode !!!!! It is not made out of explosives.

The cause of concern is when you are running the tire at high speed, a sudden lose of pressure would force your tire to rotate without sufficient support as air is not longer present to withstand the load. Hence this cause a big "show" as your tire will degrade badly due to the high forces being exerted on it.

Hope this helps
