A blow-out occurs when sudden deflation renders the tyre pressure insufficient to hold the tyre in position. Generally, the tyre bead moves into the well of the rim causing the rim to make contact with the road surface, which could result in a catastrophe.
Irrespective of one’s driving skills, blow out’s can be fatal; and with little or no steering control the lives or passengers, fellow road users and one’s own could be at risk. RUNFLAT™ Safety Bands support deflated tyres, preventing them from slipping off the rims and therefore significantly increases steering, breaking and cornering control in dangerous situations.
