Run-Flat Tires in 2025: Are They Finally Worth It?

Zero-pressure tires have evolved dramatically. The latest run-flats from Michelin, Pirelli, Bridgestone and Continental now deliver comfort that rivals regular tires while keeping you moving up to 50–80 miles after a puncture.

Biggest Improvements in 2025

       
  • Softer sidewall compounds – ride quality within 5–8% of standard tires
    •    
  • Noise levels reduced by up to 3 dB
    •    
  • Weight penalty dropped to under 4 lbs per tire
    •    
  • 80,000-mile treadwear warranties now common
