I think the biggest sign that tyrebands do not offer any significant safety advantage to normal cars is the fact they haven't been made compulsory by governments. Just for comparison consider, dual circuit braking, and ABS, and more recently lane assist, speed warnings, and several other driver assistance aids which are now compulsory. If tyrebands were as effective as the manufacturer claims, such devices would have been included, but the legislation has gone for TPMS not tyrebands. This is about as strong official signal as you could want.
They were compulsory on many of our military vehicles are a lot of vigourous testing, but that was South Africa and totally different terrain.

There are numerous postings on other caravan forums about the real life problems of Tyrons.

None have any evidence Tyrons saved the day. Most say the dealer or tyre fitters charge extra for changing tyres when Tyrons are fitted.

The biggest complaint is the inability of many tyre shops to deal with Tyrons leaving the caravanner "stranded" or totally reliant on the old steel spare.
