What is the most frustrating moment of your life till date? A foolish junior in the office? A dumb girlfriend? Well, you’d be surprised to know that a majority of people are easily frustrated by just a roadside puncture. Well, if you are one of those people who are annoyed by flat tyres, then consider this blog your best friend.

It can be quite annoying to tackle a flat or punctured tyre, especially if you are driving towards the office. We are sure your boss will prefer to hear a genuine reason rather than a dumb flat tyre reason.

So how to tackle that ugly boss of yours? The automotive industry keeps on evolving to answer all of your questions.

Run Flat Tyre

Sip on your coffee and mug and prepare to be amazed because the solution to your tiny problem has been already introduced in the 1930s. But do not worry! ‘It’s better to be late than never’. In the early 1930s, it was quite common for a driver to tackle a tyre blowout or a puncture. So the experts thought a lot about this chaotic problem and finally introduced a miraculous wonder in 1935 i.e Run-flat tyres.

A lot of people ask a common question. Is my car fitted with a run-flat tyre? The car responds generously ‘Open the trunk, master’. Now if you are smart enough to do the same and you find a tyres Dinnington sitting alone in the darkness of your car’s trunk, then we have a bad news. Mostly tyre experts do not leave a spare tyre if your car is already equipped with run-flat tyres.

How do they work?

• Run-flat tyres are fitted with a specially reinforced sidewall to keep your dear car moving even after a puncture. Sadly no more puncture excuses to your wife! Moreover, if she finds about this technology, all we can say is Best of luck!
• Just ensure you do not drive them above the speeds of 50mph or you will be next on that hospital bed.
