- Run flat tires can temporarily support the vehicle after pressure loss, allowing you to keep control and drive a limited distance to service. Note that they require a compatible vehicle setup and a working TPMS system.
- Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
