This is really cool!
The michelen PAX tyre is a specially designed tyre to be able to drive when it has gone completely flat.
Their pressure is monitored automatically, and they can run flat for approximately 201 km @80 kph. According to Michelin, the run-flat detection system "plays an integral role in active safety in PAX System. Its role is to inform you of a loss of pressure, either gradual or sudden." Once warned of an air leak by the PAX system, you can reduce your speed and head toward a tire repair center without freakin out!!!
This tyre is already being used on cars such as the Renault Scenic, Audi A8, Rolls-Royce Phantom and the Audi A6.
The whole thing includes the tyre, alloy wheel and pressure guage built in to the unit. The PAX System wheel has multiple diameters with different seats, which makes the support easy to insert, and on which the tyre rests in case of a flat tyre.
