The tires can handle nail-and-screw-type punctures by using an embedded rubber compound to patch holes on the fly.
You might have heard of"run flat" tires that can continue rolling for a short period of time after being damaged, giving drivers the chance to avoid immediately pulling over to change the tire or make a repair.
According to Ford, the tires can handle 90% of punctures that are up to a quarter-inch in diameter. Michelin's technology uses a rubber sealant in the tire to fill holes if, say, a nail pierces the tires and falls out. If the same nail stays in the tire, the sealant surrounds the puncture. The tires are standard on the four-wheel-drive Explorer Platinum and Limited hybrid trims levels; they're optional on the four- and two-wheel drive Limited trims.
