35 Tyron bands on 5 police vans

One of our account customers where kitting out 5 police long wheel base vans and needed Tyron bands to be fitted to all the wheels (including the spare). These vans are the type that have 4 wheels on the back axel (2 on each side) so 7 wheel per vehicle when you take the spare into account.

Tyron bands are fitted inside the wheel so that if you have a blow out the tyre will not come off the wheel and thus you still have control of the vehicle, this allows you to pull off the road and change the wheel for your spare. These where originally developed for the military to use in Northern Ireland during the troubles.

Tyron bands are also very useful for Caravan owners. When towing a caravan a blowout can cause the driver to lose control of the caravan. With Tyron bands fitted you can stay in control and pull over to the side of the road before you lose control. Many insurance companies also give a discount to caravan owners if they have Tyron Bands fitted.

If you would like Tyron bands fitted to your caravan (or motorhome) call Hometyre on 0800 783 93 10 and we will come to you to fit them.
