TyreSafe welcomed Tyron RunFlat as a new commercial supporter, strengthening the collective effort to reduce road casualties caused by tyre-related incidents, particularly those involving sudden tyre deflation.
The Partnership
Tyron RunFlat brings decades of experience in mobility and vehicle control during tyre failure, which will further support TyreSafe and its mission to educate all road users about the critical role of tyre safety, while raising awareness of how even a moment of lost control during a blowout can lead to devastating consequences.
Stuart Lovatt, Chair of TyreSafe, said, “Sudden tyre deflation is one of the most dangerous situations a driver can face, whether on a motorway, rural road, or in an emergency vehicle. Tyron RunFlat’s knowledge and real-world experience in helping drivers stay in control during these events is a welcome addition to our collective mission. Their support will help us reach more drivers with life-saving advice on how to prevent, respond to, and reduce the risks associated with tyre failure.”
Originally developed for police and emergency vehicles, Tyron Runflat has always focused on helping road users reach a place of safety when the unexpected happens. The technology behind their MultiBand system — now used on a wide range of vehicles from cars to fire appliances and commercial fleets — enables the tyre to remain attached to the wheel during deflation, helping to maintain steering and stability.
Peter Simson, Director at Tyron RunFlat, added, “We’ve seen first-hand how tyre failure can lead to loss of control in seconds. For us, this is about giving drivers and passengers the best chance to stay safe in those moments. Becoming a supporter of TyreSafe reflects our shared commitment to promoting safer roads and giving people the tools and knowledge to protect themselves, their families and other road users.”
