Tires With Emergency Running Characteristics, Repairing

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

General Information 

CAUTION:

Examining damaged tires should only be performed by trained personnel.

WARNING:
  • Run-flat tires must be replaced after they have gone flat.
  • Pay close attention to the installation instructions.

-- The wheel must be inspected before mounting, as with conventional wheel/tire systems.

-- The wheels should be checked for damage after a flat tire (true running, axial run-out, other damage) because the wheel could be damaged in an emergency by driving through a pothole.

-- A damaged wheel should be replaced.

NOTE:

Flat tire sprays may be used on tires with emergency running characteristics (SST).

Tires must be replaced after running flat.

Observe the manufacturer mounting instructions.
