Tyron is a specialised automotive safety company based in the United Kingdom that focuses on runflat tyre protection systems. Originally developed for military use in the 1970s, the company’s core technology, the “Tyron Multiband,” is a mechanical device fitted into the wheel well of a rim. This band prevents a deflated tyre from slipping off the wheel during a blowout or sudden puncture, effectively turning a standard wheel into a safety wheel. This allows drivers to maintain steering, braking, and cornering control, enabling them to reach a safe location to change the tyre rather than losing control of the vehicle immediately.
Today, Tyron’s products are widely used across military, security, and civilian sectors. Their range has expanded to include All-Terrain Rubber (ATR) runflats for armored vehicles and heavy-duty 8×8 platforms, as well as solutions for emergency services, cash-in-transit vans, and the leisure industry. For civilian users, particularly caravan and motorhome owners, Tyron bands are a popular safety upgrade because they provide peace of mind while towing and often qualify owners for insurance premium discounts. The systems are designed to be a one-time purchase that can be removed and refitted whenever tyres are replaced.
