run flat tires only allow you to drive for 50 miles or so at normal speed.

if the police used "spike strips" more than likely your tires would fail.

No. Tires wouldn't matter against helicopters, GPS, tazers and police dogs.

Only if the police car had the flat tyres.

Nope - they are limited to a specific speed once punctured - so the answer is a categoric NO

Run flat tyres are only effective at low speeds. Running them with no air in at high speeds will lead to a potentially devastating de-lamination of the tyre at high speed.
with regard to a police chase, all it may do is delay the inevitable. In fact it could go in the police's favour because officer will have more time to plot their next move.

No.

no - run flat tire technology utilizes stronger side wall on the tire to assist you from having a major blow out and experiencing loss of vehicle control. you will feel that the vehicle acts similar to any other vehicle with a flat tire, but without the loss of vehicle control experienced with non run flat technology tires. this enables you to pull over safely and check your vehicle.

Criminal minds may continue to read on:
if you were to continue driving at a high rate of speed and utilizing avoidance maneuvers. example swerving between and around other vehicles, taking corners at high speed. eventually the tire will separate from the wheel and you will then experience loss of vehicle control. wheel will contact pavement, and heat up. tire would also be flopping around inside the wheel well of the vehicle. that would cause tire and vehicle damage. eventually the tire and the rim will heat up from friction and cause some sort of fire. you would be riding on a brake shoe and the police will catch you when the vehicle can no longer roll forward, or you have engulfed the vehicle in a fire and now want their help to save your life.

No i wouldn't have thought so . Why you thinking of going out a being bad so you have a high speed chase. I hear prison not so bad lately.. LOL

No since they are designed to make you not lose control until you can stop.....not designed to make sure you get away in a high speed police chase before you stop lol

Depends on the tires. They only stay un-flat for a limited distance and I don't know whether that distance is affected by speed or not. But it's stupid to run from the police anyway. You'll just add charges to whatever you're running for.

no it would not where did you here that


fester
No, because the performance even before they are flat isn't as good as a normal tyre, so you will probably be caught before you even reach a stinger.


Lovotor
no, but why do u want to run from police?

No you'd just go slower.


Rock
No it would not. It would slow you down.

The Simple answer is no. This due to the loss in Control and Grip due to the Tires being "flat". These flat tires would degrade and fall off leaving you with just the wheels themselves.

Also when travelling at higher speeds it is advised to have higher tire pressures than usual.

Yes they would help however you cannot outrun motorola, If you are considering such activities you should probably get a motorcycle much faster and easier to ditch then a car and you are less apt to kill someone outside of yourself on a bike then in a car.


Auld Git
Please do not be stupid enough to try it unless you really want to die.


sparkey
no they only run at low speed
you shouldnt run from the police you naughty girl !!!!!!
