Unlike run-flat tires, the technology aims to avoid the flat in the first place. Michelin says they can seal 90 percent of punctures, although they will still lose air over the course of several days until repaired, just very slowly.
The tires will come standard on the top of the line $59,345 Explorer Platinum and $52,780 Explorer Limited Hybrid, and also be optional on the standard Limited trim.
