Purchase TyreGuardian(tm) - Puncture Protection System

The TyreGuardian™ Puncture Protection System prevents the most common automobile disabler - a tire puncture. A concentrated, latex-based liquid, TyreGuardian™ is easily installed in minutes. Once installed, your tires are protected against tire punctures in the tread area for the life of the tire! This level of protection eliminates the dangers of changing a tire at the side of busy highways and eliminates the waiting inherent in roadside assistance plans.

European Car Product of the Year

TyreGuardian™ selected by European Car as one of the Products of the Year for 2009.

Select Gear Award: TyreGuardian™

"Tire puncture protection systems have come and gone. Either they didn’t work, added too much weight, or were messy during installation and dismounting. Motorsport Solutions brought us TyreGuardian™, a new formula hailing from Down Under that does work and won’t leave you stranded. The product claims to prevent air loss from punctured holes up to 6mm in diameter, but after thoroughly thrashing some of our own rubber, we found it even holds up to a 7.5-mm hole. Not only that, it’s easy to install and clean to work with, leaving no mess on the wheel or floor during dismount. In fact, TyreGuardian turns from liquid to rubber right in your very hands! Weight-wise, a normal dose only adds 4 ounces to the average 17-in through 19-in tire size—hardly a compromise when you don’t really need that 50-lb spare anymore.

Having tested on both forged modular wheels and cast, there are no downsides, and it even works with TPMS sensors. In motorsport, some rally racing teams in Australia and the U.S. have reportedly already caught on to the benefits as well. For our Select Gear, this was an easy choice this year."

How TyreGuardian Works™

TyreGuardian Application

TyreGuardian™ is an innovative concentrated liquid compound easily installed though the tire valve after the removal of the tire valve core/stem. After installation, simply drive the vehicle a few miles allowing the tire rotation to distribute the product evenly throughout the inside of the tire. Now, all porosity, bead, and rim leaks are sealed for the full legal life of the tire.

Once a tire has been treated with TyreGuardian™ the compound creates a thin liquid film on the inside of the treated tire which provides a barrier that maintains tire pressure and creates a complete air tight container within the tire and tire rim. Optimum tire pressure is maintained for the full legal life of the tire, and results in better tire performance, improved fuel mileage, and increased safety.

In the event of a puncture, the pressurized air inside the tire trying to escape will immediately draw TyreGuardian™ to the source of the leak and seal the hole created by the puncture, regardless if the puncturing object is removed or not. The seal is permanent, the tire does not need to be removed and repaired, and eliminates the need for the driver to make immediate stops to check the tire. After installation TyreGuardian™ remains dormant inside the tire until a puncture activates it.

Why Choose TyreGuardian™

TyreGuardian™ is the puncture protection system of choice for international rally teams and automotive enthusiasts from around the world.

    * No messy hands, no dangerous jacks to deal with, no inattentive drivers to dodge.
    * TyreGuardian™ is easier, cleaner, and safer, than changing a flat tire with a spare tire.
    * No need to get out and change the tire on a dangerous roadside.
    * TyreGuardian™ is activated when a puncture occurs, and seals the puncture.
    * Increased fuel efficiency due to less weight (you can remove your spare).
    * Increased fuel efficiency due to optimal tire pressure with no maintenance.
    * TyreGuardian™ seals the pores that naturally exist in rubber tires.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is TyreGuardian™ approved by the NHTSA (National Highway and Transportation Safety Administration)?
A: Tires within in their legal limits that are protected with TyreGuardian™ are safer than those that are not protected by the TyreGuardian™ Puncture Protection System. Consider the "slow leak" scenario - unprotected tires would deflate overnight and the vehicles weight would rest on the sidewall, potentially compromising sidewall integrity. Most people patch such leaks and continue using the tire.
Clearly, a protected tire would not experience this sort of scenario. Consider the "large hole" scenario - unprotected tires would experience a rapid loss of air pressure, potentially impacting the handling characteristics of the vehicle. Even if the leak were larger than the 1/4" diameter sealable by TyreGuardian™, a protected tires would lose air much less rapidly than an unprotected tires. TyreGuardian™ is non-flammable and non-toxic. It is hard to imagine a scenario where TyreGuardian™ could negatively impact safety. Note that tires do need to pass NHTSA standards. Tire manufacturers are expected to ensure that their tires meet those standards. TyreGuardian™ will not make a non-conforming tire conform to NHTSA standards. TyreGuardian™ will not change the legal wear limits of a tire.

Q: With which tires size can I use TyreGuardian?
A: The TyreGuardian Puncture Protection System works with any size tire. The amount of TyreGuardian™ used varies depending on tire width, wheel diameter, and tire aspect ratio. For the amount needed for any size tire, use the online fill calculator. The typical car tire uses 100ml-200ml of the TyreGuardian™ fluid. One bottle is typically enough to do all four tires.

Q. What is it made of?
A: The TyreGuardian™ Tire Puncture Protection System consists of a proprietary formulation of natural rubber and a non-toxic liquid solution. It does not harm the environment.

Q. Environmentally friendly?
A: TyreGuardian™ does not harm the environment. It is based on natural rubber and does not change the disposal methods for tires.

Q. How much weight does it add?
A: TyreGuardian adds less than 2.5 solid ounces (68 grams) of weight per 3.4 fluid ounces (100ml). A typical tire requires about 6 ounces of TyreGuardian™ to provide standard protection levels. This is roughly 4.2 solid ounces of weight.

Q: Is it speed rated?
A: TyreGuardian™ has been race tested by rally teams in Australia and the United States. It does not impact handling characteristics and in many cases it can improve the balance of the tire.

Q: Is there a limit to the tire size? Bikes? 18 wheelers?
A: See the fill calculator. If your tire size isn't listed, please contact support.

Q: How many miles can I drive after a puncture?
A: The TyreGuardian™ Puncture Protection System permanently seals holes made by puncturing objects up to 1/4" (6mm) diameter in tubeless tires and holes made by puncturing objects up to 1/8" (3mm) diameter in tbe tires. Holes made by larger objects may not be completely sealed. Such holes should be professionally patched if it is safe to do so. If the hole is not safe to patch, the tire may need to be replaced.

Q: Does it affect tire life?
A: The TyreGuardian™ Puncture Protection System extends tire life by reducing operating temperatures and by reducing the likelihood of uneven or accelerated wear due to low tire pressure.

Q: How does it affect my rims?
TyreGuardian is harmless to the vast majority of rims. TyreGuardian is not suitable for rims that have been modified using copper or brass.

Q: How do I install it?
A: Please read the TyreGuardian™ Puncture Protection System Installation Instructions for details.

Q: Is TyreGuardian™ compatible with TPMS systems?
A: When properly installed, TyreGuardian™ does not alter the function of TPMS systems. Both wheel mounted and valve-stem mounted TPMS systems are compatible with the TyreGuardian™ Puncture Protection System.
