Behind this creation is Michelin itself, who designs tires for Ford, Chevrolet and Bolt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These self-repairing tires are lined with a highly viscous substance that acts as a sealant to repair punctures. The action of the sealant is so natural that drivers do not notice anything as there are no reductions in pressure or stability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/1fMviz2qJPGtC_--5W9YkvagO594dh0bpGMBHj-j2I1-yTzMIrVIZlWe1NQRiVDo7MTiYgLqMvkY8hdKGTGZwfuMbQkCmDLjmkYSVdv8tk9CIHcSxQpgC0m6-XZfzu2jroAL1d13\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating this viscous sealant was not an easy feat. It had to be designed with precision so that it does not gather at the base of the tire all the while ensuring that an airtight seal is made.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although these Michelin designed tires do not require repairs for days, they do at some point need to undergo repair or replacement. This is particularly true if the sidewall is damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This technology comes under many names, with Michelin calling it Selfseal while Continental, supplier to Volkswagen and Bentley amongst many others, call it ContiSeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out these <a href=\"https:\/\/carswitch.com\/uae\/used-cars\/ford\/explorer\">used Ford Explorer<\/a> car on <a href=\"https:\/\/carswitch.com\/\">CarSwitch.com!<\/a> We have plenty in stock!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Cons: Comfort always comes at a cost<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, a self-repairing tire costs an extra 99 AED ($27), making it an investment of over 367 AED ($100) for the average vehicle. While considering the price keep in mind that these tires can withstand punctures of up to 0.25 inchs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/UsAkPr_QdKoHxMOHWGlMxCbHMiqCW3TdJ7svF6xYcyOS1wd0Ae9geD6apthTvAY5Im-7VXunKYket7-6ARIIPys4ugZH2H3VwFu38wt2Ul8LRKJ5PM1krrcwHAHfAymf029b9Kq5\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While self-repairing tires function well in cases of punctures, it is actually run-flat tires that fare better when it comes to the sidewall. This is because they are capable of driving another 50 miles at 50 mph with a damaged sidewall and no pressure. A self-repairing tire, on the other hand, is not designed to do this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to buy pre-inspected <a href=\"https:\/\/carswitch.com\/dubai\/used-cars\/search\">used cars in Dubai<\/a>, you can easily do so through <a href=\"https:\/\/carswitch.com\/\">CarSwitch.com<\/a>!
