A glycol based, water soluble tyre sealant that when professionally installed will permanently protect tyres against punctures and air loss. Additional benefits include extending the life of tyres and improving fuel efficiency


How does it seal punctures?

Tyre Protector forms a thin protective coating between the tyre and the air within the tyre. When a puncturing object penetrates the tyre, air pressure forces the sealant into the wound repairing the damage instantly and permanently.

Why does it extend the life of tyres?

A tyres biggest enemy is excess heat. Excess heat is caused by under inflation. Under inflation is the cause of 98% of blow outs. It can be caused by slow punctures or poor maintenance but tyre protector will prevent under inflation.

Why does it improve fuel efficiency?

When a tyre is running at its correct pressure it creates less rolling resistance. To prove this quite easily to yourself try pushing a wheelbarrow with an under inflated tyre.

No. A stinger is made up with hundreds of hollow plastic spikes. When a tyre drives over them the spikes brake off inside the tyre to provide a controlled deflation.
