Performance and Safety

 

  • Maximum Speed: Up to 110 km/h at the specified load.

  • Runflat Capability: The triple-position runflat insert included in the wheel assembly ensures the vehicle can continue to move even in the event of complete tire pressure loss (due to puncture or ballistic damage).

  • Guaranteed Runflat Distance:

    • On-Road: 50 km (e.g., 3 km at 90 km/h, 10 km at 50 km/h, 37 km at 25 km/h)

    • Off-Road: 40 km at a speed of 32 km/h


     

    This highly specialized wheel system is engineered to support heavy-duty armored vehicles operating on the Ford F550 platform, offering unmatched resilience and continuous operational capability in hostile environments. With a maximum load rating of up to 4,000 kg per wheel, this assembly is built for severe terrain and extreme vehicle weight typical of the Ford F550 platform.

    The core of this solution is the integration of the robust Michelin XZL 335/80 R20 tire with an advanced triple-position Runflat insert. This innovative insert guarantees the vehicle can safely proceed following complete tire pressure loss, whether from ballistic impact or puncture. Mobility is assured for critical evacuation distances: 50 km on-road and 40 km off-road (at 32 km/h).

    We provide two material choices to meet specific mission requirements on the Ford F550 platform: the Heavy-Duty Steel Assembly with a dismountable steel rim for maximum ruggedness, and the High-Performance Aluminum Assembly with a monoblock aluminum rim for optimized weight. Both assemblies maintain performance stability at speeds up to 110 km/h, securing your vehicle’s mobility even when compromised. This system provides essential security and continuous operational readiness. Contact us with any further questions.
