Do flat free tires make sense for drivers today? At Sanddance Tyres we have noticed a trend towards this which we are very much a part of — in particular we are seeing great interest from customers that value safety and convenience while they are out on the road.

Run proof tires bring more than what is new they provide peace of mind. With their feature of keeping your car in motion after a flat they do away with the stress of emergency roadside tire changes. If you are to put in for puncture proof tires which in particular include daily commutes or highway travel in the UAE we recommend you look into the Sanddance range.

What Are Run Flat Tyres and How Do They Work?

Run flat tyres are put to use when you have total loss of air pressure. We have reinforced sidewalls to blame for this which enable the tyre to hold its shape and support the vehicle’s weight which may just continue for some time after a puncture. Also in case of most run in flat tires you can get along for a 80 km at a reduced speed (around 80 km/h) which in turn gives you sufficient time to get to a repair shop.

This feature is what makes them the best choice for emergency tires in situations which do not have immediate access to help from road side services. With no need to pull over in the heat or at risky locations to change tires run flats are a game changer for UAE drivers.

Are Run Flat Tyres Worth It in the UAE?

While there is a higher price point for run flat tires as compared to standard tires, in terms of safety and convenience they do often worth it  especially in the climate we have in the UAE. Picture this, you’re on the Sheikh Zayed Road or a desert highway at 2 in the morning and you get a flat. Instead of breaking down and waiting for rescue, you are able to get to the nearest service station safely.

Another benefit of run flats is that you do not have to include a spare tire which in turn reduces weight and increases boot space  which is especially true for small cars or those that see a great deal of travel. Also they feature strengthened sidewalls which in the event of high speed blowouts which may occur during long distance travel will be reduced; that is to say run flats are the better choice for safe long distance driving.

Also it is of great importance to note that run flat tyres should be used in conjunction with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). This is to inform you when the pressure has dropped which in turn will help you to decide your next move.

Who Should Consider Run Flat Tyres?

Run flat tires are for people that put in many miles of highway driving, that which put in daily commutes through heavy traffic, or which have vehicles that don\’t come with a spare. Also they are very much so put forth to families, female drivers, and those that may not feel at ease changing a tire by the road side. As the demand for immediate tire service increases, run flats give not only better performance but also a greater sense of security while you are out on the road.
