Emergency running systems: Introduction
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 MINI Cooper and 2008 MINI Cooper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Tires with emergency running characteristics can still be used for a certain distance even if they suffer a complete loss of pressure. There are two different systems which meet these requirements:
- emergency running system with self-supporting tires
- emergency running system with integrated support ring
