Ride-on TPS: Armor For the Road Ride-on TPS is a revolutionary product that makes any pneumatic tire into a self sealing tire.

	While you drive, a gel like protective layer of Ride-on TPS- containing fibers six times stronger than steel- evenly coats the inner surface of your tire. If your tire is punctured, the centrifugal force of the rotating tire and the internal pressure force Ride-on into the hole, sealing it instantly.

Ride-on TPS: Extends Tire Life & Improves Fuel Economy
Independent Fleet test have proven that tires containing Ride-on TPS maintain their set point pressures up to 500% better than untreated tires. Ride-on TPS helps eliminate porosity leaks that cause tires to naturally deflate over time. Properly inflated tires run cooler, last longer, and helps improve your vehicles fuel economy!

Ride-on TPS also helps tires run cooler by absorbing heat from the tread area and conducting it to the thinner sidewalls which are more effective at dissipating the heat.

Ride-on TPS is Superior to Powder Balancing
Ride-on TPS High speed formulas help hydro dynamically balance tires (especially for medium to heavy truck tires). Ride-on reduces tire imbalance and vibrations that cause a tire to hop and bounce on the road. These vibrations increase the tire's operating temperature, promote irregular tread wear, and increase the wear and tear of your equipment suspension. Unlike most powder based balancing compounds, with Ride-On TPS, you do not need special valve cores or need to worry about the moisture-laden air to cause the product to lump up and stop performing. Many of these powder balancers can also cause bead and valve leaks. Ride-on TPS will not plug your valve cores and will in fact help seal bead leaks.

Safe to Use, Good for Your Tires
Ride-on TPS contains corrosion inhibitors that provide protection in the liquid and the vapour phases to ferrous metals, aluminium alloys and yellow metals. Therefore Ride-on TPS protects your wheels and tire belts and cords against corrosion. Ride-on TPS is non-hazardous, non-flammable, biodegradable, and non-explosive. Ride-on TPS is formulated to be easily vacuumed or washed out of a tire with water. This is critical to allow the internal inspection of a tire. It will not interfere with conventional plugs and patches, section repairs, and is completely compatible with all retreading processes.

Ride-On TPS Benefits
Prevent flats by sealing multiple punctures Helps extend tire life by up to 25% or more Helps balance medium to heavy truck tires Helps maintain proper tire inflation Works in tube and tubeless tires Easily washes out of the tire with water Lowers operating and maintenance costs Helps reduce downtime Helps improve fuel economy Helps tires run cooler Helps eliminates porosity and slow leaks Condition tire casings, making retreads more effective Guards wheels and tire belts against corrosion One application lasts for the legal life of the tire Does not break down, dry or flake inside of tire Is biodegradable, non-hazardous, and non-flammable Works effectively in all seasons

Space-saving tyres are just to get you home and cannot be used at more than 40mph. Anyone who speeds with them is dicing with death. READ MORE

Feedbacks

The ride handling of my Land Rover Defender is not affected. There is less noise from the tires on highway (with ride-on). - Ziggy Soh, Land Rovers Owners, Singapore

The ride handling of my CNG Mercedes E200 has noticeably improved. Tyre noise is lesser, ride is smoother & more stable even at highway speeds. - Steven, Singapore

Ride-On TPS sealant was selected as a preferred vendor and product after an exhaustive testing and evaluation period covering more than 2 years. These long term tests included police cruisers… As of January of 2002, the installation of Ride-On TPS was mandated in all tires mounted on the City of Baltimore vehicles.-
