These vehicles need to keep moving in the event of a puncture either from a safety perspective or a security one, whatever the reason they need to be safely driven out of danger to a place where the tyre can be repaired.
They need to have the tyre, even deflated in contact with the ground. To achieve this the tyre needs to be locked into position, not move and achieve good beadlock. Tyron’s MultiBands and runflats are designed to do this.
MULTIBANDS
In the event of a puncture or blow-out the Tyron MultiBand is guaranteed to “lock” the tyre on the wheel rim allowing the driver to retain control of the vehicle reducing the risk of an accident and to continue to a safe place to change the wheel or seek assistance, reducing the risk of personal injury.
Lightweight, so as not to affect fuel consumption, acceleration and braking and with no moving parts it does not affect the balancing of the wheels, maintenance free and fitted once for the life of the vehicle and its occupants.
RUNFLATS
The Multipart All Terrain Rubber Runflat (ATR)
Tyron has developed and patented a multi part rubber runflat suitable for fitting to a wide range of military, security and VIP off road vehicles. Made out of rubber the Tyron ATR absorbs the shocks from bumps and kerb strikes much better than a hard composite solution and reduces the damage to both the wheel and the tyre, so that both have the potential of being re-used when repairs have been carried out. Using rubber also gives the passengers inside the vehicle a more comfortable ride in the case of a tyre burst, which enables them to be in better shape to carry out their task.
The patented multi part design allows the fitter to change a tyre even at the side of the road without special tools.
Tyron’s rubber runflats incorporate a guaranteed beadlock which is over manufactured to prevents the wheel from slipping inside the tyre, this allows the vehicle to continue on its mission and get back to base which is not possible using other materials.
