Tyron Runflat, known for its innovative tyre safety systems, is paving the way for rapid improvements in industry testing capabilities by increasing the testing speed for its rubber runflats and bands to 250km/h. This is a massive increase from the often-quoted 150km/h limit in the industry.
Peter Simson, Director at Tyron Runflat, commented: “This is a huge step forward for us. Earlier this year we announced the expansion of our testing facility south of Bangkok in Pattaya, Thailand, which was part of our ongoing mission to increase the scope and scale of our testing capabilities. This 3,000sqm factory was specifically built to facilitate growing demand for the Tyron product, which has enabled us to expand our testing offering to ensure we’re providing ever-evolving systems with ever-improved life-saving potential. Internal testing is of course, independently validated by external test facilities in Europe.
“Our multibands are used extensively across the blue light and defence industries which means there is no room for error. Our bands can be the difference between life and death, especially in a high-speed pursuit or life-threating war zone – and our key focus is to ensure a tyre blowout doesn’t cost lives.”
Mohamed Elnady, Business Development Director at Tyron Runflat added: “Our latest testing innovations have created green shoots and new partnerships across the globe, including a new relationship with a high-profile European Special Forces organisation. Testing is a vital element in the production of any product, which means we pride ourselves on investing in our trial and test facilities to guarantee we remain at the forefront on innovation in our sector. This is an exciting chapter for us as we develop this high-profile partnership, which means this specialist organisation can ensure their force remains safe and vehicles can withstand very high-speed pursuits.”
Working extensively within the defence, emergency services, commercial, leisure and civilian vehicle industries around the world, Tyron Runflat is known for its market-leading tyre safety solutions, including the Tyron Multi-Band. This product keeps the tyre attached to the wheel in the event of a blowout or puncture, helping drivers reach a place of safety.
Established in 2001, the Leicestershire headquartered business has made it their mission to provide reliable and cost-effective tyre safety solutions. Most recently, the business has partnered with TyreSafe to publicly show its continued support for tyre and road safety. Additionally, the business has also recently celebrated its 21-year partnership with Hometyre, a mobile fitter network, to ensure individuals have their bands professionally fitted, even in remote areas.
