Tyron Safety Bands

Although Tyron Safety Bands are a suburb product that do their job well, from a tyre fitters point of view they are not straight forward.
It you have a service and have to have your tyres replaced, normally the fitting is a relatively easy, low cost job.
However, if we see the the little red sticker we know we have a bigger job on hand, which in turn adds to the bill, unless you can supply the fitters instructions.
These are not normally supplied and without them it can sometimes add 45 minutes to the job.I have found a set which you can print out and supply to the fitters, this will save you money and and save a lot of huffing and puffing for the fitters.

  1. Break the bead (push the tyre sidewall away from the edge of the rim) on one side only.
Note to tyre fitting depots : if both beads are broken the bottom one would have moved upwards and then when the top one is pushed down to expose the Well there may not be sufficient room to fully expose it. Do not clamp on the standard tyre fitting machine .
 2. One side of the tyre has to be pushed downwards to expose the Well in which the Tyron band sits. If the wheel is put on a flat surface it is difficult to push the tyre downwards enough. Find something on which to rest the wheel rim to raise the tyre from the work surface/floor Note for tyre fitting depots :- Clamp an old wheel rim (preferably a size smaller than the wheel being fitted) onto the tyre fitting machine and this wheel can be used as a table on which to place the wheel being fitted with Tyron.
 3. Push the tyre sidewall downwards and fit the Tyron bands in the well, with the arrow (in the centre of each band) pointing downwards (away from the valve).
 4. Join the bands with one connector positioned across the valve. Keep bands clear of valve.
 5. Join opposite ends of bands with other connector and tighten both connectors an equal distance. Ideal tightening torque for BOTH connectors is 6.6lbs/ft (9 newton/mtrs) for steel bands or 3.3lbs/ft (4.5 newton/mtrs) far alloy bands.
 6. Connectors are supplied assembled in the correct order and should not be disassembled.
 7. Re-initiate the tyre, Fit a safety wheel identification sticker on the rim near the valve. Re balance on high performance vehicles.
 8. Keep your fitting tool and instructions with the vehicle, your tyre fitter/repairer will reed to use it when changing or repairing your tyre.
