AutoExec Summary
Run-flat tyres allow drivers to continue driving on a punctured tyre without the need for a spare. They have a reinforced sidewall that maintains shape without air. While they offer safety benefits, they may impact handling and cost more than standard tyres. Manufacturers like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Honda, Mitsubishi, and Mazda have adopted run-flat tyres in place of spares.
