Tyrelok™ Wheel Safety bands close the wheel well of a tubeless wheel rim.

Tyreloks™ come into play in the event of any form of tyre failure, be it a sudden tyre burst or a gradual deflation. When a tyre deflates, and the bead of the tyre dislodges, the tyre is able to drop into the well of the rim. Once this happens the tyre can leave the rim resulting in the metal being exposed to the road. This makes it extremely difficult for the driver to control the vehicle, particularly on curves in the road.

Tyrelok™ is the world’s first aluminium wheel safety band designed in conjunction with the Aluminium Federation of Southern Africa. It is rust proof, lightweight and easily fitted. With Tyreloks™ installed, the driver will not only be able to retain control of the vehicle but, if necessary, be able to travel between 20 and 25kms to a place of safety. This is extremely important in the light of the dangers posed when motorists are stranded at the side of the road.

All wheels of a vehicle should be fitted with Tyreloks™.
