The Ride-On Tire Protection System (TPS) is a
high-tech tire sealant specially formulated to prevent leaks, seal punctures,
and extend tire life. Ride-On TPS is designed to seal most punctures in
the tread area of the tire caused by nails, screws, thorns, road debris any
perforating object up to 1/4" (6.35 mm) in diameter. Ride-On TPS tire
sealant also eliminates porosity leaks and reduces the rate of detrimental
oxidation inside the tire.
As the tire rotates, the tire
pressure and centrifugal force draw Ride-On TPS to the puncture. As the
tire flexes and the hole is expanded, the proprietary formulation containing
aramid fibers that are six times stronger than steel enter the puncture cavity.
Ride- On TPS also contains corrosion inhibitors that protect steel and
aluminum wheels and tire belts against rust.
Ride-On TPS tire sealants (tyre sealants) extend tire (tyre) life by hydro
dynamically balancing tire/wheel assemblies, lowering tire (tyre) operating
temperatures and helping tires (tyres) maintain their set-point pressures.
Vehicles with Ride-On TPS benefit from better handling, better fuel economy,
longer lasting tires (tyres) and a safer ride. Ride-On TPS tire sealants (tyre
sealants) also help to reduce the expense and aggravation of flat tires (tyres)
and premature tire (tyre) failures.
Ride-On TPS comes in several formulations
for use in both high-speed, on-road as well as slow-moving, off-road
applications.
Whether for over-the-road or off-road use, in brand-new tires
(tyres) or retreads, tires (tyres) that are on vehicles or in your ready rack,
we have a solution that will work for you and your fleet. You'll discover that
Ride-On TPS tire (tyre) sealants pay for themselves many times over!
The table below is a guide to
choosing the right formulation of Ride-On TPS for your application and type of
vehicles. Details and specifications for each formulation can be found on its
respective page.

Throughout the world, ports, commercial
carriers, waste haulers, truck leasing companies, governments, bus companies,
farmers, public utilities, building contractors, TIR fleets, equipment rental
companies, motorcyclists and many others owners and operators of all manner of
vehicles and fleets are saving time and money by using Ride-On TPS tire
sealants (tyre sealants).

Ride-On TPS has more than 250,000 applications
and over five billion miles to attest to its effectiveness. It is currently used
by the military, US Postal Service, more than sixty cities, municipalities,
government agencies, in more than 4,000 police vehicles, and in thousands of
tractors and trailers. More than 25 percent of the nation's top twenty hauling
and disposal fleets in US are now using Ride-On TPS tire sealants (tyre
sealants) to help them with their pressure maintenance programs and as a means
of reducing their vehicle downtime. Ride-On is available as an OEM item by the
nation's largest trailer manufacturers and through six of the fifteen largest
commercial tire (tyre) dealers. Ride-On TPS is available in formulations for
every tire (tyre) application.
Does
Ride-On TPS react chemically with the tires or wheels?
No. Ride-On (TPS) tire sealant is chemically inert, and will not attack the
tire or wheels. Ride-On (TPS) contains corrosion inhibitors that protect steel
and aluminum wheels and tire belts against corrosion. Ride-On (TPS) tire sealant
can be easily washed out of tires with water. It will not affect the future use
of patches or other tire repairs if necessary. Ride-On (TPS) will actually help
preserve the tire casing, making retreads more effective.

Yes. Ride-On TPS has been proven effective for sealing
punctures from objects up to 1/8" diameter that penetrate the tubes. However,
since puncturing objects sometimes tear the tube, there may be occasions that
the tube will continue to leak. It is vital to remove the puncturing object
immediately from a tire containing a tube to prevent further damage to the tube.
More details below
Hi, say 2 nails punctured my tyre ... , must i remove/no
need to remove the nails and continue riding. If no need to remove the nails,
then best sia! If need to, after remove the nails, must do a patch up at the
tyre shop or once i pull out the nails, this sealant will seal up the holes?
What's the difference for tube/tubless tyres for the above scenario?
Yes. Although the Ride-On TPS has effectively sealed
around the penetrating object, if left in the tire, the object will shift around
as the tire rotates and will eventually create a larger hole, and can
potentially cause further damage to the tire. If the object is a screw, you must
unscrew it. Yanking or pulling will tear the rubber and possibly the tires
steel belts.
Also, remember that you must drive the vehicle after pulling
out the puncturing object. Ride-On TPS coats the inner surface of the
tire. As the tire rotates, the tire pressure and centrifugal force push
Ride-On TPS to the puncture. As the tire flexes and the hole expands, the
fibers enter the puncture cavity. The fibers form a flexible plug similar in
action to that of a beaver dam. If the vehicle is not driven, there will not be
any centrifugal force or tire flexing to aid Ride-On TPS to enter and
seal the puncture cavity.
If the puncturing object has been left in the tire for a long
time, it might take some time for the puncture cavity to close (rubber has
memory, and it conforms to the shape of the puncturing object), and the tire may
temporarily lose some air until it is sealed.
Using Ride-On TPS does not guarantee that you will
never get any flat tires. Our effectiveness in sealing punctures in the tread
area of
the tire is 85-95% in tubeless tires, and 55-65% in tube tires.
In compliance with tire makers repair guides, Ride-on TPS will not cover
the sidewall or shoulder areas ie will not seal sidewall damage, or damage near
the shoulder of the tire.
Tubes have a tendency to tear or rupture when punctured. It is impossible for a tire sealant
to seal a tear. It is vital to remove the puncturing object immediately from a
tire containing a tube to prevent further damage that can result in tearing the
tube.
It is the fibers in the gel that plugs the hole. When the
proper dosage is installed, the valve stem will almost never be blocked. The
centrifugal force of the rotating tyre forces the sealant away from the valve
stem and onto the tyre. However, in rare occasion when it gets into the valve, a
short burst of air will clear it. A paper clip or similar object can also be
used to clear the valve stem.
I may want to get ... one of these for my long trip, but
can i use it when i found my tyre is punctured (eg..take out the nail from the
punctured tyre and then pour the sealant)
The Ride-On TPS is designed to be a preventive. It repairs
multiple punctures in the crown area for the life of the tyres because it seals
the puncture cavities from the inside to the outside. It will not interfere with
the conventional plugs or patches in the tyres. If you want to use AFTER the
Puncture:
a Object still in Tyre: DO NOT REMOVE OBJECT! Inject severe
dosage requirement into the tyre (45% more). Ride for a min. of 10km to ensure
complete distribution of the product. Remove the object and ride at least 5km
more. Make sure to re-air the tyre. Reair and riding process may need to
repeat up to 3 times before the puncture is completely sealed.
b. If Object is no longer in the tyre. Inject the severe dosage. Ride for min.
10km to ensure complete distribution of the product. Re-air tyre and ride until
tyre warms up. This will aid in the tyre regaining its elasticity. Reair and
riding process may need to repeat up to 3 times before the puncture is
completely sealed.
Having said that, it is always not advisable to ride with a flat as you take
the risk of damaging the tyre.
How does
Ride-On (TPS) affect the tire manufacturer's warranty?
Ride-On (TPS) is an inert tire sealant that
does not attack or damage tires or wheels. Ride-On (TPS) contains anti-corrosive
agents to help protect steel or aluminum wheels and tire belts from rust.
Ride-On (TPS) has obtained letters from Bridgestone, Firestone, Continental,
General Tire, Yokohama, Michelin, Goodyear, and Toyo Tires stating that the use
of Ride-On (TPS) does not void their warranties, unless the damage to the tire
or wheel has been caused by the sealant.
