Provided the vehicle is operated within restricted run flat speed of 80km/h (50 mph), handling is only slightly impaired due to reduced cornering force. Aquaplaning and braking remain almost the same. It is recommended that you avoid sharp driving manoeuvres if a tyre is completely deflated, especially if the tyres are fitted to H2 standard rims.
