A punctured pneumatic tire in a tire-rim assembly is repaired by mounting on a vehicle the tire-rim assembly provided with an internal pressure alarm means, said tire comprising an auxiliary load-supporting structure satisfying a requirement that an deformation quantity of the tire in a radial direction thereof at a rim-assembled state under a load corresponding to 90% of a maximum load capacity at an internal tire pressure of zero is within a range of 30-60% of a section height of the tire under no load at the internal tire pressure of zero; detecting a puncture of the tire produced during the running of the tire by the internal pressure alarm means; unavoidably running the punctured tire to a relatively short-range safe place to quickly stop the vehicle; and refilling gas to a given internal pressure by a gas filling means equipped on the vehicle while occluding a punctured hole with a puncture repairing means equipped on the vehicle.

Process for repairing punctured pneumatic tire in tire-rim assembly and repairing system

In a method for ensuring safe tire emergency running operation in a motor vehicle that is equipped with tires that have emergency running properties when the tire pressure is greatly reduced or absent altogether, a device is provided for detecting an emergency running mode of the motor vehicle. The device for limiting the driving speed limits the driving speed of the motor vehicle whenever emergency running is detected.
