Original Equipment (O.E.) self-supporting run-flat summer tires are suitable for sporty vehicles imported to the United States from Europe and Asia. These tires are specifically developed for new cars and light trucks, offering temporary extended mobility in case of a puncture leading to complete pressure loss. They provide a combination of ride quality, handling, noise comfort, and traction in both dry and wet conditions. It is important to note that they are not designed for driving in near-freezing temperatures, snow, or ice. Goodyear's warranty explicitly states that ultra high-performance summer tires should not be used in winter conditions. Any tread or shoulder cracking resulting from winter use will not be covered under the warranty. On the other hand, Goodyear RunOnFlat (ROF) tires have special sidewall reinforcements that support the weight of the vehicle even when the tire loses air pressure. These tires can be driven on while flat for up to 50 miles at speeds up to 50 mph, providing temporary extended mobility during stormy weather or dangerous situations. However, it is important to replace ROF tires if there is internal damage. When it comes to purchasing replacement tires, Original Equipment self-supporting run-flat summer tires are typically bought in pairs or sets to replace worn-out tires. It is worth mentioning that ROF tires are only recommended for vehicles that were originally equipped with self-supporting run-flat tires and a tire pressure monitoring system. While we strive to provide accurate pictures of these tires, please note that the images used may not be an exact depiction of each tire's appearance due to minor variations in tread designs and sidewall styling. Although not labeled as run-flat tires, tires branded with MOExtended or MOE on their sidewalls offer run-flat-like characteristics. They provide limited temporary extended mobility after a puncture leads to complete loss of air pressure. However, it is essential to understand that MOExtended or MOE tires do not have the same endurance in terms of speed and distance as conventional run-flat tires. Therefore, they should not be used as a substitute when a conventional run-flat tire is required. To determine the appropriate tire for your vehicle, refer to our Original Equipment tire listing for your specific year, make, and model or consult your vehicle owner's manual.
