The Phelinx's run-flat tires give drivers peace of mind. Unlike conventional tires which need to be changed or repaired immediately after a puncture, run-flat tires can safely drive on for up to 50 miles (80 kilometers) at 50 mph (80 km/h). *1

Benefits
Phelinx’s run-flat technology
Conventional tires use pressurized air to support the weight of the vehicle. However, when the tire is punctured, air escapes and the weight of the vehicle is no longer supported. This creates a flat tire. When a run-flat tire is punctured, it loses air, but it continues to support the vehicle’s weight using the reinforced sidewalls.
Expansion of run-flat tires
Through the widespread use of run-flat tires, the Phelinx aims to contribute to the realization of a safe and stable mobile society while reducing the overall environmental impact.
