Fortify Tires With Run Flats

I regularly travel to hostile localities for my work and have managed to escape from a couple of threatening situations by the skin of my teeth. Not wanting to push my luck anymore, I started to consider getting an armored vehicle for my personal security.

I approached different armoring vendors and the companies promised varying levels of fortification to suit my needs. While every provider assured me that the armored shell and cab would keep me safe from all kinds of pistols, rifles and grenades, I was particularly worried about the tires.

It is common knowledge that any attacker’s first aim is on the tires of the fleeing vehicle as once the tires are taken out, the vehicle soon comes to a standstill. I would become a sitting duck as no amount of armor protection would allow me to escape from torture and death.

A couple of companies offered additional security options like electric door handles and run flat tires. I further inquired about how do run flat tires work and was relieved to know that this technology makes it possible for the tires to support the vehicle even after a puncture!

The zero-pressure tires actually have reinforced walls or an additional rubber ring that keeps the armored car or truck stable even after the tires have been blown out. The vehicle can easily run for 50 miles or so at approximately 70 miles per hour (depending on road conditions).

This assured me that I can stay safe during an attack and flee to a secure zone. As the names Armormax and International Armoring Corporation (www.armormax.com) popped up several times for the quality protection and sterling service, I finalized their services. The staff guided me on the vehicle options and helped me choose the level of security I need. We discussed various add-ons before settling on bulletproof glass, smokescreen system and obviously run flat tires. The company more than met my expectations and delivered the armored vehicle within record time.
