So what does a Tyron band do ?

The problem is the way wheels have to be designed. All wheels have a "fitting well" in them. It has to be there for the fitting and removal of tyres, but it is this well that can be so dangerous when you have a puncture. When the tyre is inflated, it is held in place by air pressure, but when this pressure is lost, the tyre can move around freely and drop into the fitting well. Braking and traction is lost, you can lose steering control and the wheel rim can come into contact with the road.

Tyron is a patented lightweight well-filler band that converts a standard steel or alloy wheel into a safety wheel. When fitted, it will significantly improve the performance and safety of any wheel or tyre in the event of deflation. At speed it assists the driver in maintaining steering, cornering ,braking and traction control. It provides a short run-flat capability so you can choose a safe place to stop and change the wheel.

They come in several sizes and as such can be fitted to all types and size of wheel.

A simple, low-cost device - protecting you and your expensive wheels from damage, it even helps prevents wheelbox and bodywork damage caused by a flailing tyre.

Some insurance companies offer significant reductions in premiums too for vehicles fitted with Tyron - so you could say it pays for itself !
