run flat inserts..anyone use them on steer tires?

Seems like a good idea.
The military uses them.
Please share your thoughts on why good or bad.

 

Here is a existing thread.

This will be thread number two on the same subject. It is likely you will generate the same input.

do any of you owner operators use run flat inserts on your steer tires?

 

Have them, they are sitting in my shed, that should tell you something.

 

The last thread was hijacked and morphed into a conversation about flatbeds and dumps and scrap hauling.
With no real usable info about the inserts.

 

Just because the military uses them doesn't mean they're good, you're talking about government spending and it's the one thing they do really well.

 

That you like flat tires? Lol.

 

Not only the military, but a whole bunch of "important" folks get driven around all over the planet, everyday, in vehicles with run flat tire systems. And by important folks, I mean that either they have the money to buy that protection, OR someone else thinks that they are important enough to pay for that level of protection.

 

Military run flat is a metal, I think it's magnesium, insert inside the tire .
The Pa. State Police use a self sealing goo inside their run flat tires.
Two - the same, but different - things; or 2 ways to solve the same problem.
I believe I have seen the military inserts up for bid on "Government Liquidation .com" website.
There's no way to use them, unless you have wheels that bolt together like HMMWV's.

 

Because scrap yard drivers need run flat steers.
