Authors Abstract
Content
A C-shaped fiberglass reinforced plastic runflat stabilizer has been developed that can be mounted around the wheel well inside an inflated tire. The stabilizer, along with its lubrication system, allows the driver to operate his vehicle despite zero air pressure in a flat tire. This eliminates the need for a spare tire, saves trunk space, reduces weight, and - most important - does away with the inconvenience and danger of roadside tire changing.
