Hi Civical,
I don't think any one is saying don't fit Tyron bands if that's what you want.
But if your reason for fitting them is because you believe it gives improved safety, then some of us are saying that we have seen no evidence that supports that view, and after consideration using our own knowledge and understanding of such things we can't see any benefit from fitting them.
Some of the other safety related devices that have been mentioned in the thread have published evidence or the benefits can be easily deduced, and thus one can weigh up the cost vs benefit argument.
I am all for the use of safety gear or techniques, but when drivers become complacent and start to drive dangerously in the belief that the safety devices will keep them on track, then I worry, what happens if the safety device fails to work? This is highly possible because such things are not regularly checked or validated.
