Tyron Bands
- Thread starter doc2403
- Start date
A friend of mine who works for a well known tyre company asked if Tyron bands were fitted on my wheels when I took them for new tyres,I therefore rightly or wrongly assumed they couldn't tell.I in formed him all I knew they were tyres on rims🙂.. Perhaps someone knows different..Good luck...Gary
Apparently there's added expense to remove Tyron bands
The "correct" practice is to attach a little sticker on the rim, identifying the wheel has Tyrons.
But given the practices in the industry, it anybody's guess if that practice has been followed.
Last year my local and highly respected tyre depot [by me] charged a surcharge of £25per wheel for removing and refitting bands.
A previous company however had made a terrible job of "balancing" the bands on installing them, so to balance the wheels involved a very large amount of balance weights.

If they were original fitment to the wheels there is a sticker fitted to the wheel, But if they were fitted after, No sticker, But again if the bands were removed, but the sticker was Not, you don't know.
I eventually managed to buy the mobile band removal kit, £60, 7 years ago. Even the Kwik Fit mobile guy didn't have the kit, so * wasn't charged extra, as I removed and refitted the bands, No balancing problems.
The kit is like hens teeth to find and buy.
