[VFI] Variable Function Run Flat Tire Inserts

For Armored Vehicle Applications

For Armored Vehicle Applications
Land Mine / Blast Protection: VFI (Variable Function Insert ) - a solid rubber insert that fits securely around a multi-piece, "flat base" rim. The device is inserted into a tubeless tire, which is in turn fitted around the wheel, thus becoming an "assembly" of complimentary components all designed to work together to provide optimum mobility.

Two types of wheels are satisfactory for use in this "assembly" either a "2 piece bolt together" or a "3 piece lock ring style" which utilizes a lock ring and side ring to secure all the parts together. In addition, the VFI provides improved survivability for vehicle occupants due to the nature of its design and the added benefit of the dense rubber material from which the product is manufactured.

The Bulldog VFI is also designed to function as both a beadlock and Run Flat, thus providing maximum performance in all terrain conditions. Most importantly, the VFI meets all U.S. military standards, as well as the FINABEL and NATO standards required by most European military agencies making the VFI the most widely used Run Flat in the world.

As shown in the animated graphic to the left, the theory behind Run Flat technology is to provide support for the vehicle ( in a Run-Flat mode) and to positively lock the beads of a tubeless tire to the wheel flange ( beadlock effect ) under any operating air pressure condition. By doing so, the vehicle can continue without concern for loosing its tire, or damaging the wheel or suspension components. Our Run Flat Tire Inserts have been thoroughly tested to meet both the U.S. and FINABEL standards for performance.
