How Much Can Ride-On TPS Save Your Fleet?

“I was specifically very interested in your claims of improvements in air pressure retention and cooler running tyres. To date, the tyres that were treated with Ride-On have stayed at the pressure we initially aired them up to, plus or minus 0.07 or 0.14 Barr, for over 9 months. Anyone who works with tyres knows that air pressure maintenance is the key to prolonging tyre life. Additionally, we did some tyre temperature tests with our infrared temperature gun and noticed a 30 °C difference in tyres with Ride-On installed, compared to those without Ride-On. The air pressure maintenance coupled with cooler running tyres confirms your company’s claims that Ride-On can help extend our tyre life.”

Roger Gustin – Ronco Leasing, LLC,

“Since we started using Ride-On more than 2 years ago, we have noticed a significant improvement in the consistency of our tyre pressures. We have noticed that when we do our regular scheduled maintenance every 9656 Km, our tyre pressures are within 0.07 or 0.14 Barr of their initial set point! Before Ride-On we would regularly notice 0.69 Barr difference in pressures. As any fleet manager knows, proper inflation means longer lasting tyres. Also, thanks to Ride-On, we have seen a reduction in our flats by 80-85%. Thank you for your wonderful product. We look forward to using for many years to come. I would highly recommend Ride-On to any fleet manager. They won’t regret it.”

Malcolm W. Tester, Equipment Manager – Direct Transport, Inc

“Our company believes in preventative maintenance and through measures like Ride-On, we have cut our annual tyre budget from more than R2.3 million to less than R1.53 million. You have made a believer of us and I want to thank you for an excellent product. Over the last year, we have implemented Ride-On in more than 85% of our tractors and plan to install Ride-On in all of our remaining tractors and trailers. We will also specify that our vendors install Ride-On as an OEM item with all of our future tractor and trailer purchases.

I would strongly recommend Ride-On to any fleet manager and have converted several other area fleets to Ride-On.”

Leo Olivares, Maintenance Manager – Best Cartage

“Prior to using your product, we had tried another sealant that required higher dosages per tyre and rusted our wheels and rims. As you promised we have had no corrosion problems with Ride-On after more than 18-months of continuous use. Our overall flat tyre rates are down by more than 85%. We are actually getting full life out of these tyres and are removing tyres from service once their tread has worn off. I have seen a tyre stay in service for its full life after suffering more than 19 punctures in the tread.”

G. B. Bowen, Vice President – Bowen Company, Inc.

“We have been using Ride-On TPS for more than 2 years now. I am a firm believer in Ride-On for preventing and eliminating flat tyres. The added bonus has been the fact that our casings last longer and we are getting more wear out of our tyres. I am glad that we overcame our original skepticism to give Ride-On a try. Ride-On TPS is a must for any fleet operator that is smart enough to know that air pressure maintenance is critical.”

Ray Martin, Maintenance Manager – 495 Trucking, Inc.

“It is almost too good to express! We estimate that the reduction of flat tyres alone will save our company as much as R763 000 per year. Wow! You’re Product Works! Flat tyres and down time are no longer an everyday part of our business. Thanks.”

Glen G. Carroll, Vice President – Carlisle Contractors

“We have now been using Ride-On in all of our roll-off and garbage trucks for over 14 months with excellent results. Since implementing your product, we have reduced our number of flat tyres by close to 90%. More importantly, Ride-On has virtually eliminated our slow leak problems. Our tyre pressure maintenance program now takes much less time. Your product really works and I would not hesitate to recommend it to any fleet manager who wants to eliminate a major source of downtime and expense.”

Keith Massmann, Operations Manager – Tom Kraemer, Inc.

“We have found a great product that we are pleased with. Thanks Ride-On.”

Will Newell, Head Mechanic – Aldershot Landscape Contractors Limited

“Thanks for introducing us to your great product. I would recommend Ride-On to anyone who cares about safety, unnecessary downtime, or maximum use of their tyres.”

Cyndy Faranz, President – Mike’s Club Towing

“You have removed that skepticism beyond a reasonable doubt. We as a team are looking forward to reduced tyre damage which can only be a benefit to our operating costs.”

Sam Miller, Plant Superintendent – Heckett MultiServ, a Harsco company

Tyre Dealers

“We thoroughly reviewed Ride-On TPS, and had our retread manager also review your product for compatibility with our Bandag retread process. We are now recommending Ride-On TPS to all of our commercial and wholesale accounts. “

Larry Bell, Vice President of Commercial Sales – Parrish Tyre

“We proudly endorse the Ride-On Tyre Protection System! Many of our commercial, municipal and State customers are using this product and have found it to reduce vehicle down-time from flat tyres, and as a regular part of their pressure maintenance program. “

Jim Hammond, Vice President of Sales & Marketing – Donald B Rice Tyre Co.

“Having sold and installed the Ride-On products for about 9 months, great results have been achieved. Not only with mowing equipment, but also with tractors, backhoes, trash trucks, bobcats, and many other types of equipment. “

Richard W. Daugherty, General Manager – Alban Tyre Corp

“Ride-On has been proven in many of our commercial fleet customers to have reduced down time from flat tyres as well as maintaining casing integrity.”

Douglas Portner, Vice President of Sales – Friend’s Tyre & Fleet Service (owned by McCarthy Tyre)

“We have introduced Ride-On to many of our commercial and municipal clients with great success. Our customers are using Ride-On in new and retreaded tyres with great success. We now recommend Ride-on to our customers as a standard part of their tyre maintenance program. “

Pat Driscoll, Vice President & General Manager – Capital Tyre & Fleet Service (Now at Merchant’s Tyre)

Motorcycles

“I’ve ridden through (almost) every state and province while using Ride-On. Never a flat. Not even on the infamous “haul road” aka Dalton HWY of Alaska, despite a puncture. I like the confidence and almost never need to add air to my tires.”

Jeff Leigh – Chicago, IL (09-26-08)

“On my last motorcycle I had a slow leak in the front tire that caused it to flatten twice over the winter when it was stored. The next spring when I had the bike in for other work I asked the dealer to take the wheel and tire off and place it in a tank of water to find the leak. They were unable to do so, and the tire continued to lose air. I installed Ride-On shortly thereafter and from that point on the tire never leaked again. When I bought my current bike one of the first things I did was to install Ride-On in both tires, just to be safe. Ride-On works for me, thank you.”

T. Young, (09-09-2008)

“Ride-On is the best flat tire protection I’ve ever used. Recently I got a Phillips screwdriver stuck in the tread of the rear tire on my Harley-Davidson FXDWG. The tire didn’t lose a pound of air. I didn’t even know I had a puncture until I saw the screwdriver shaft sticking out of the tire! I’ve been using Ride-On for several years now. I’ll be using it as long as it’s available. I won’t ride without it. Thanks for a great product! I’ve got digital photos of the punctured tire, I’ll be glad to send them if you like.”

Frank Laird, San Diego, California (09-08-2008)

“Ride-On has already saved me once! I’m a repeat customer and I’ve recommending you guys like crazy to my fellow riders. Definitely a product that works!”

Christine Malazarte, La Habra, California (08-28-2008)

“ I received tubes of Ride-On as part of your sponsorship of the 2008 SKI-HI ride to Alaska. I had Ride-On installed in the two new Metzler 880s I put on my BMW K1200LT. The product works! I immediately noticed there was no front end vibration and the tires were quiet, and still are after 8,000 miles. No cupping (as always previously occurred) or uneven wear. No need to add air during the trip. Tires have more tread than I ever had after 8,000 miles. Others on trip found punctures which Ride-On sealed. My riding partner did not use Ride-On and ended up with flat and subsequent blowout, requiring 2 tows and a new tire. He calls it his $1,000 tire. Thank you for the Ride-On. It will always be in tires on both of my bikes.

Lee Geronime (08-08-08)

“On my 7th annual Florida/Alaska Motorcycle Benefit Run, my tires were at 40 psi when I left home. At Fairbanks, AK, they were at 39 psi. One biker who rode with me and did not have Ride-On had his tire pressure drop to 20 psi. Another biker (with Ride-on) in our group had two holes in his tires. He plugged both holes and 8,000 miles later at the end of the trip, no problem. One biker who didn’t have Ride-On got a nail. By the time he realized it, the tire was almost flat. He plugged it. Two days later, a blowout due to the tire damage. Cost of towing, new tire in Alaska, mounting was almost a thousand dollars!”

Michael Tuccelli – Elkton, FL (08-06-08)

“Just spoke with you yesterday and I feel ride-on saved my life. I never lost control of my bike and as you can see from the picture, I took quite a hit.”

Phil Kirkendall – Norman, OK (08-01-08)

“I put a new tire on before a 6K mile trip out west. Just before I was to leave, I found a small nail. I removed the nail and the tire leaked air. A friend had an extra bottle of Ride On. We put it in. I checked the air several times during the ride and 6K miles later, no leaks. This stuff works.”

Calvin Underwood, Ashville, NC (06-30-08)

“I know it has been awhile since I last wrote to you, and I apologize. I don’t send out many emails from the road. But I thought that arriving in Iraq with Ride-On Tire Sealant was something you would like to know about.
According to everyone I’ve spoken to here, I am the first American to ever enter Iraq by motorcycle. I had the same experience driving into Libya, being the first American to enter on a motorcycle since Kaddafi took power nearly 40 years ago.

My tires are looking good. I don’t get to balance them because the shops over here don’t balance tires, they just throw them on. The Ride-On helps balance enough. I haven’t had any flat tires, and the tires are holding up well. I don’t know how well the ride-on helps dissipate heat on knobby D606 tires, but my tire life has always outlasted the reports I’ve read by other users on the internet. I have 7,000 miles on mine and they’re good for another 1-2k.

I have had your product in my tires in Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Mauritania, Italy, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Turkey and Iraq.

I would like to thank you all for your support.”

Max Hunter, Iraq 06-10-2008

“I put Ride-On in my brand new tube type Metzler and not two weeks later, I pulled a 50 mm long wood screw out of it…never lost any air that I could measure and 12 800 Km later, it’s ok. BTW, both the front and back Metz don’t really look like they have 12 800 Km’s on them … I suspect I’m going to get good mileage out of these tyres and it’s probably due to Ride-On!!! ** Thumbs-Up **”

Blain Garver, Spanaway, WA (08/23/07)

“I just filled up my two new Dunlop’s with your great product. After traveling 13 600 Km’s this Spring I was totally impressed. I did wear my rear tyre out but it was due to the Alcan Highway and crossing the Yukon. No Tyre can hold up to those road conditions. I just sent your “Sale Information” to a bunch of my biker friends. I do hope they are wise enough to load their tyres with your product. I ride with more confidence at all speeds using “Ride-On”. Thanks for being so prompt in shipping. Uncle Don of Sterling Alaska.”

Don McNeil, Sterling, AK (08/23/07)

“Used Ride-On in five bikes for eleven years never been stranded.  Great product!”

Robert David, Vienna, VA

“Been using ride-on for 5+ years and never had a flat. Tyres last twice as long as average.”

Forrest Phillips, Fairfax, CA

I put it in a rear tyre that had a small nail in it at 1100 Km’s. Now the tyre has 27 300 Km’s on it and no problems. The front tyre has 37 000 Km’s on it with it in, more kilometers than I’ve ever made, and it is good for a few more thousand.

Marv Schiffler, Payson AZ (03-29-07)

Last year I went through two brand new tyres within a week’s time due to a nail in one and a shard of metal in the other. I was NOT happy! So I decided I needed some protection. The Ride-On TPS was SUPER easy to install and really set my mind at ease knowing that if something did puncture my tyre, I was covered. I have since replaced my tyres and there was no mess at all! (and luckily no foreign objects). Although I I haven’t really “tested” the sealing capability of the product, I ride a lot more confidently knowing that my tyres are safe. I also experienced a smoother ride, increased stability, and longer tread life with this product. Without a doubt worth every penny! Thanks Ride-On!

David Cocker, Arlington, VA (03/27/07

“I did a “scientific” experiment … new tyres put on my Swing a few thousand kilometers ago … vibration at higher speed so bad that my GPS was unreadable due to shake. I installed 5 ounces Ride-On Tyre Sealant in front and 8 ounces in back tyre. Vibration gone! Silk smooth ride! No shaking of GPS mount. I’ve been using Ride-On Tyre Sealant for some time now.  In fact, on their website, you can probably find a picture of my front tyre from Silver Wing with 48 300 Km’s on it and you will be amazed at the tread left on the tyre. Just wanted to let you know their advertising that it will “balance” your tyre apparently is valid.”

Mike Tuccelli, St. Augustine, FL, ’02 Silver Wing 199 000 Km’s

Getting my V Strom (DL650) ready for a 22 530 Km’s Alaska trip this summer I mounted a set of Tourance tyres and changed the sprockets and chain to aftermarket products. The bike is amazingly smoother now, but there was just a bit of vibration that felt like “cupped” tyres. Knowing the tyres were brand new, they couldn’t be cupped. I mounted and balanced them myself, so I knew they were as good as I could get in that department. The vibration I’m talking about was far from a deal breaker. My BMW R1100RS vibrated far greater, but if I could get rid of it, it would make the ride that much better. I had read reviews about a product called “Ride On” which had high praise for the product. It is claimed to stop leaks in tubeless tyres up to a 6.35 mm. But an added by-product is it dynamically balances tyres also. I’m here to tell you on my bike it did just that! The slight vibration I was experiencing is totally gone! The bike is now like on a cloud. I’m amazed how smooth a V Twin can be made to run. Now all I need is a board with a nail sticking out of it to see how well it seals a leak…

ENSENADA, Mexico June 8, 2006 – Before nearly 200,000 race fans, the Brett Helm/Chris Steward team rode to a 3rd place finish in Class 40 at the Tecate SCORE Baja 500, with a time of 11:04:18 on a Honda XR650R treated with the Ride-On Tyre Protection System (TPS) motorcycle tyre sealant.

Chris Steward reported that they had no tyre failures during the course of the race and no rider “get offs.” Steward was upset that Ricky Johnson was shorted on fuel out of Checkpoint 3 and had to actually push the bike into the next checkpoint, a misfortune which “probably cost us a higher place on the podium.” Steward raves about the performance of Ride-On. “I had one of my associates ride my KLR 650 to Ensenada for the race, and he was blown away at the new-found stability” that Ride-On provides. Steward has Ride-On in all of his motorcycles and support vehicles. Steward goes on further: “I’ll give you the straight up on this product […] we have 16 bikes rolling in Baja, 3 trucks and vans, and 3 trailers [and it] looks good so far!”

Chris Steward – Trail Boss Tours – San Diego, CA (06/08/06)

“I took a trip to Prudhoe Bay AK on my 1999 Tiger in 2004; rode a total of 19 300 Km’s. When I got home and changed the rear tyre I found several small pieces of rock stuck in the tyre. They went all the way through and where they contacted the tube you could see small sealed spots. I never noticed any air loss and your product probably saved me a lot of trouble in the middle of nowhere.”

Christopher Seddon, Southwick, MA (05/11/06)

“A few weeks ago I changed the tyres on my Honda VTX1800. As I have for so many years, I again put your product in my tyres. Before using your product, I used to get front wheel cupping, and constant buzzing in the handle bars. All these problems have been eliminated ever since the day I started using your {Ride-On TPS} sealer. Also I noticed my useable tyre life was extended approximately 4800 Km’s. That equals a free set of tyres every 4 to 5 replacements – a savings of R1526.00 to R3052.00 for a pair of good tyres. I have never seen a BIT of rim damage from your sealer when changing my tyres. When returning from Key West to Orlando FL at 2 AM, I ran over a small piece of plywood on interstate I-95. Just as I drove over the board in the dark I saw nails reflect off my head light. I pulled to a stop to find that one of the nails went into, and back out of both my front and rear tyres. In the middle of a dark night In the middle of no where, I said to myself, well let’s see if your {Ride-On TPS] sealer is really going to work as promised. I got back on my VTX1800 and drove at about 60 Km/h for a few Km’s. Got off and checked the tyre pressure, I still had 2.7 Barr in both tyres. I took [my bike} up to 100 Km/h and rechecked in about 32 Km’s. Still at 2.7 Barr. I got home 240 Km’s later still at 2.7 Barr. Relieved and so thankful that your GREAT product saved me from two flats and all the misery that would have come from being stuck on the side of a very dark road, at a bad time of night. I know this has been a long comment, but I KNOW my security, and maybe even my life may have been in jeopardy if I had been stranded out there at that late hour. Thanks again for such a great product.”

Jim Lampa – Debary, FL (05/26/06)

“Was riding at 110 Km/h and to my bad luck I ran over a 9.5 mm pointed self threading bolt and heard it puncture the tyre (rear) and then heard air leakage for what seemed 3 or 4 revs. Most likely more, then it sealed up but knew I had a major problem because of noise. By now I was down to about 30 Km/h and was using only front brake. Came to complete stop and checked out as yet unknown problem. Seen this large bolt for this 180/70 R 16 tyre imbedded somewhat at an angle and was surprised it was holding. Rode another 16 Km’s at about 50 Km/h home. I’m sold on ride-on. I have ordered this again plus a new tyre. Thank you, who knows what, could have happened without ride-on in tyre!”

John Gellhaus – Garnett, KS

“I have been riding motorcycles for 47 years and this product has lived up to all my expectations. Improved tyre wear has been awesome and coupled with having to check the air less often makes this product hit the top of the charts! Great job Ride On!”

William J. Novak, Gold Wing Road Riders – Manlius, NY

“Recently hit a board with a nail that punctured both tyres. My friend had 2 bottles of Ride-on that we put in the tyres. Both tyres hold air so well that I don’t seem to have even the daily/weekly seepy leak that most tyres have. I’m sold.”

Joseph C. Freeland – Sachse, TX

“A friend used Ride-On after reading about in Rider Magazine and had good results. I got a nail in a new rear tyre on my Honda 1800 and he gave me a tube to try. It has worked great for me in the last 3200 Km’s. I’m ‘sold’ on Ride-On. I plan to put it in my front tyre to see if it fixes my ‘wobble’. I am ordering cases of your product for motorcycles and SUV’s.”

Marvin Schiffler – Mesa, AZ

“I discovered Ride-on, though an ad in a magazine, after experiencing a high speed flat on my cruiser. After 3 years of using this product I have found nails & screws in my Yamaha VMax tyres ONLY when they were replaced for new ones. This is an amazing product that works far beyond anything imaginable.”

Mark E. Phillips – Langston, AL

“Ride-On is a great confidence builder on long trips through desolate territory. Ride-On adds a new dimension of riding quality and smoothness.”

Todd B. VanSlyke, BMW DFW Motorcycle Club – Evanston, IL

“Ride-On is used by many members of the North Alabama Road Riders. Have had several members pick up nails, screws and one even had a new tyre to unseal from rim and ride- on resealed the bead. This is a great product!”

Rodger McClure, North Alabama Road Riders – Somerville, AL

“On 6-12-04 (my birthday) our club was taking a ride from East Texas to Arkansas. I was cleaning my bike the Friday night before and found a 3 mm finish nail in the rear tyre. I was very disgusted because I had been looking forward to this trip for a while. I went to bed aggravated and after lying there for a few minutes I remembered that I had the Ride-On in the tyres. I went back out in the garage and pulled the nail out, rolled the bike back until the nail hole was on the bottom and aired it up, then went to bed. To my surprise it was holding air in the morning. I reluctantly went on the ride on Saturday. I told everyone in the club that I might not be able to hang with them all day. We made a couple of stops at about 80 Km’s each to see if it was holding air and it was and still is today 14 months later. Tonight I’ve just ordered two new tyres and tubes for my Roady and some more Ride-On. To be totally honest I’ve added air to the tyre probably 6 times and probably 2 or 3 times to the front tyre that has no nail holes. But, I haven’t had to pull the tyre off and patch the tube and I didn’t have to miss a good ride. I wouldn’t recommend doing what I did. I’m a curious guy and I just had to know how long it would last. 9600 Km’s to be exact…”

William Smith – Longview, TX

“This is my second order and at this time I am very pleased. I didn’t experience any punctures but did notice improved handling and better tyre wear.”

Robert E. Conti – Memphis, TN

“Ride-On got me home safe today, through 100 Km’s of traffic, with a two inch nail in the rear tyre of my Nighthawk 750. The tyre did not lose any air pressure. Thank you for a superb product!”

Joel McClain – Milford, TX

“I just put it in my tyres and at 220 Km/h no sweat!  Thanks for a great product.  It also changed my mind about changing my headset bearings. I used to have a shimmy upon deceleration, not any more! ” James Lawler – Raeford, NC

“I put in Ride-On in my tyres last summer and drove 22 500 Km’s in 24 days, including extremely rough gravel roads to Arctic Circle. After 48 270 Km’s, my IRC front tyre still had a lot of tread left on it. In fact, I took a photo in case anyone wants to challenge the fact your product does increase tyre life!”

ATV’s

Ride-On TPS is featured in SideXSide Action Magazine:

“We tend to think our UTVs are unstoppable. They can take on mud, sand, rock ledges, logs, and snow, but a flat tyre will put the brakes on your UTV in a heartbeat. There are two ways to deal with a flat tyre: fix it or never get the flat in the first place. Here’s an ounce of prevention that’s worth several pounds of cure, Ride-On TPS (Tyre Protection System) tyre sealant from INOVEX Industries.”

Cars & SUVs

 

Ride-On TPS is used in thousands of car and light truck applications in the USA. Major municipalities including the City of Baltimore and Boston use Ride-On in their police and support vehicles.

“Shelby American has been performing ride and handling testing over the past several months. I am pleased to say that Ride-On will be offered to the owners for use in their Series 1′s with the backing and confidence of Shelby. Thank you for all your efforts to make this happen. ”

Mark Visconti, Vice President Engineering – Shelby American, Inc.

Harry Farkhan, EVP of Engineering – INOVEX Industries, Inc. at Shelby American Factory.

“The City of Baltimore currently operates more than 5,500 pieces of equipment. As you know, INOVEX Industries, In. and your 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, waste trucks, street sweepers, and other fleet support vehicles. As of January of 2002, the installation of Ride-On TPS was mandated in all tyres mounted on the City of Baltimore vehicles. Just to let you know, we have not had any problems with retreading any of our tyres, or issues with compatibility with our tyres or wheels. After close to 3 years of use, we have not experienced any corrosion problems with any of our casings or wheels. ”

Charles Krysiak, Fleet Administrator – City of Baltimore

“I use your sealant for my wife’s Toyota sedan, for my old Nissan Pathfinder and for my Harley. When my wife had her wheels rebalanced and the outcome was awful, you explained the hydrodynamic balancing qualities of your sealant and advised removal of the balancing weights; I did so and the wheels are so balanced!  Recently, I also had my SUV’s wheel weights removed and its wheels too, are now wonderfully balanced!”

H.J. Whitaker, Gold River, CA

“Since I found your product, I have not driven without it! This is my 5th purchase of your product; I’m a long time happy customer. I don’t buy “cheap” tyres, so this to me is a good investment. I used to worry about my wife getting yet another flat tyre when she was driving alone. We have not had a flat tyre on any of our cars since I’ve started using your product. You do have a problem with your product; no one seems to know about it. ”

H. McDermott, Long Island, NY
