Default Re: Need a Little Tire Help

A run flat tire will be marked with "EMT", "PAX", or just say Run Flat on the sidewall, depending on the manufacturer. I don't think there's a standard nomenclature for it. Goodyear uses EMT, Michelin uses PAX, and others just say Run Flat. You can usually tell by the design of the sidewall, as it has a lip around the wheel edge. I have them on my Mini and wouldn't recommend them from a ride comfort aspect. They were meant to be used for safety, not extended use. The tire will have to be replaced once you ride on them flat, and they are not cheap.
