CARAVAN TYRON BANDS

If you own a caravan Tyron bands are an incredibly important safety feature that you really
shouldn’t do without.
If you have a blowout or puncture whilst towing a caravan it could be life threatening to yourself
and other on the road. Tyron Bands are specifically designed to aid you in keeping control of
your vehicle.
Tyron Bands? What are they?
 A band of high-strength steel or other durable material, installed inside the wheel,
between the tire and the rim.
 The Tyron band keeps the tire on the rim if you lose pressure in the tyre allowing the
driver to maintain control of the vehicle and bring it to a safe stop. This is especially
useful in caravans, where a blowout at speed leads to a loss of stability, potentially
causing accidents.
What are the Benefits?:

1. Safety: A significant safety advantage, particularly for caravans, which aree more
   difficult to control if a tyre fails. The tyre remaining on the rim significantly reduces the
   risk of swerving or rolling over.
2. Control: If the tyre loses all air pressure, the Tyron band allows the wheel to continue
   spinning, this gives the driver more time to react and pull over safely.
3. Damage Prevention: By keeping the tyre on the rim, Tyron bands can reduce prevent
   damage to the wheel, occurring in the case of the tire coming off and the metal rim
   making direct contact with the road.
4. Peace of Mind: Towing a caravan is hard work and stressful. The knowledge that your
   caravan is equipped with Tyron bands gives peace of mind, more so on long journeys or
   when traveling on motorways, where a high speed puncture could be particularly
   dangerous.
   Installation:
    Professional Installation: It’s highly recommended to have Tyron bands installed by a
   professional. The installation process involves removing the tyre from the wheel, fitting
   the Tyron band, and then remounting the tyre.
   To think about:
    Cost: Whilst Tyron bands are an additional cost, many caravan owners consider them a
   worthwhile investment for the added safety they provide.
    Maintenance: It’s important to ensure they are checked during regular tyre maintenance
   to ensure they are in good condition and properly fitted.

Conclusion:
Tyron bands are a highly recommended safety feature for caravan owners, especially those who
travel long distances or on high-speed roads and motorways. They provide protection against the
risks associated with tire blowouts, helping to maintain control of the vehicle and prevent
accidents. And they save lives!
