   Prior to the late 1990s introduction of the Michelin PAX System [1] run-flat technology, both Michelin and Goodyear had introduced a "zero-pressure" run-flat technology, meaning that a pneumatic (air pressure-supported) tire could support itself with no air pressure. The new zero-pressure tire was a modified standard tire, constructed with a ...

   This innovation made tires even safer as radial tires have longer tread life and permit better absorption of road bumps. [6] The company patented an early sort of run-flat tire two years later, in 1967. This technology enables the vehicle to continue to be driven in emergencies by avoiding that the tire becomes flat instantly. [7]
