The Runflat pop on pressure test
Monday 30th September 2024Are you looking for peace of mind from your tyres on long journeys? Well, high-performance runflat tyres might just be the tyre. They provide another option for motorists who tend to drive longer distances and who are seeking extraordinary handling with the comfort of knowing should they suffer a puncture, they have the tyre technology to allow them to reach the nearest garage safely.
Recently added to our Protoura Sport range is the Protoura Sport DSP Runflat. The innovative tyre has been designed with the technological features and benefits of a runflat in mind whilst maintaining the ability to deliver extraordinary levels of performance.
The tyre has been developed and tested to vehicle manufacturer OE standards, equal to a premium runflat tyre, and we’ve also gone above and beyond the standard requirements for runflat testing to ensure optimal performance.
One element we tested to ensure our runflat was efficient, safe and easy to use was the pop-on pressure. By testing the rim mountablity, we have confidence that the tyres are easy to mount onto and dismount from the rim – a typical challenge for runflat tyres – whilst maintaining sufficient force on the wheel for reliable operation.
Managing Director and Chief Engineer at TREAD, Ray Collier, explains how Davanti’s Protoura Sport DSP Runflat has been designed to be simple and easy to fit.
