Product Benefits:
Under- inflated tires
wear out faster, waste fuel (statistics indicate that they increase
fuel consumption by as much as 10%) and are unsafe. Installing
Bi-Tron Tire Safety Solution in your tires will maintain your tire
pressure at the correct level and increase tire life by as much as
25%. The 10% percent savings on your fuel bill by having your tires
remain at the correct pressure means 10% less fuel is burnt- this
not only conserves fuel but prevents it from entering the atmosphere
as vehicular emissions (10% of 4 tonnes on an annual basis makes a
significant impact!)
Your tires themselves are manufactured from oil. Each of the four
tires on your car can take as much as half a barrel of crude oil to
manufacture. By using Tire Safety Solution to extend tire life, you
are reducing the number of old tires that end up in landfills or
burning sites, creating waste and air pollution.

Bi-Tron's unique Tire Safety Solution is
unconditionally guaranteed to seal punctures of up to ¼" diameter in
the tread area of a tire - instantly and permanently - while
driving. Bi-Tron Tire Safety Solution is a
preventive measure to use before you get a flat tire. It is a
non-toxic, non flammable formulation which is installed inside the
tires and remains there for the life of the tire, additionally
helping eliminate under-inflation. Properly inflated tires last 20 -
25% longer and provide extra fuel economy. Under-inflated
tires can add 10% to a car's fuel costs!
Automotive Tire Safety Solution -
engineered to be compatible with all motorbike tires, passenger
automobile tires and even light truck tires (with or without inner
tube) at pressures of up to 60 psi.
Bi-Tron's Tire Safety Solution Formulations
utilize a complex chemistry of chemicals, fibres and liquids shown
to be effective in extreme temperatures. Tire Safety
Solution remains liquid for the life of the tire and is
distributed via centrifugal force. It does not affect the balance of
the tire - should a tire not be properly balanced prior to
installation of Tire Safety Solution, or go out of
balance at some point thereafter, it is simple to re-balance again.
This is necessary to evenly distribute the Tire Safety
Solution around the tire so it is not a factor in balancing
the wheel. When a puncture occurs, thousands of strong, interlocking
fibers form instantly in and around the puncture preventing the loss
of air permanently for the remaining life of the tire.
In addition, Tire Safety Solution contains a rust
inhibitor, protecting rims, valve stems, or steel belts on tires,
and will not affect warranties on tires or wheels. Tire
Safety Solution is odourless, non flammable, will not
damage clothing and is environmentally safe for discharge into a
sewer system.
It does not contain synthetic latex or solvent-based plasticizers
(which can dry out, ball-up, or break down due to heat).
Installation Directions:
Note: When installing new tires we recommend that
they be balanced and road tested before the installation of Tire
Safety Solution.
It is imperative
that the Tire Safety Solution be well shaken before
it is installed since the fibers separate out if it is left to stand
for long periods. Simply go to your local service station and use
their air facilities. Park your vehicle so that the valve stems are
at either 5 or 7 o'clock position and place the vehicle jack in the
recommended place for the wheel you wish to install
Tire Safety Solution in. There is no need to lift the
vehicle just snug the jack up to the jacking point so that it can
supply support when the air is removed. Using the metal valve stem
remover found in the accompanying plastic bag, remove the centre of
the valve so that the air rushes out. Snip the end from the pointed
cap and place the plastic tube over the hole and the other end over
the valve stem. Turn the bottle upside down and add the required
amount of Tire Safety Solution.
For tires with
air pressure between 25-50psi, for vehicles which travel in excess
of 30 MPH
13" & 14" rimmed
tires use 120 ml (4oz.) per tire;
15" & 16" rims use 150 ml (5oz.) per tire.
Light Trucks "LT designation 15" & 16" Tires 210 ml (7oz.) per
tire.
For other tire sizes download and check our
complete tire listing.
If in doubt as to
how much to use email
admin@bitronglobal.com with the tire measurements and
specifications. For Example: 165 / 70 R13.
Replace the valve
core and re-inflate to the recommended pressure. Repeat the
procedure for each tire. Please bear in mind the Tire Safety
Solution will not be fully installed until the tire has
been driven for a short distance (i.e. around the block a few
times).
Removal of puncture object:
When an object is
discovered in the tread of a tire that is treated with Bi-Tron Tire
Safety Solution there are three easy steps to follow:
1. Check the air
pressure in the affected tire and if required add air. We recommend
that you add a little extra (5 to 10 psi) but do not go over the
pressure restrictions for the product and the tire that you are
using.
2. Remove the object from the tire and drive off immediately.
3. Drive around the block, check to see that the tire is sealed and
then drive for a minimum of 8 km or 5 miles and then recheck tire
pressure and adjust as required. The heat from road friction is
required to cure the product and effect a permanent seal.
The Tire
Safety Solution is designed as a preventive measure and is
not guaranteed to work in previously punctured tires. However, if
you find a puncture object in the tread of the tire prior to
installing Bi-Tron Tire Safety Solution, it may not
be too late. Add Tire Safety Solution as described
above, then, BEFORE removing the object inflate the tire and drive
the vehicle around the block a few times to complete the
installation procedure. (Please Note: Merely rotating the tire or
spinning it on a tire balancer is not sufficient.) Once the
Tire Safety Solution is fully installed check the tire
pressure then remove the object and immediately drive off. This
should permanently seal the hole. If not enough Tire Safety
Solution is used, the tire pressure is low or if the
puncture object is removed before the Tire Safety Solution
is fully installed, then a partial seal will form which will prevent
the Tire Safety Solution from sealing the hole
permanently. In these cases, or should a tire get a side-wall
puncture or a rip (which the Tire Safety Solution
unfortunately will not permanently seal) it is simple to apply a
patch without losing the Tire Safety Solution.
Remove the tire from the wheel, wipe the area of the hole with a
damp cloth and apply the patch. The Tire Safety Solution
will not affect the mended area or the warranty of the tire.
Notes:
1.Tire Safety Solution maintains optimum product performance in
temperatures ranging from -35F to +250F
2. In extreme dry climates and for low quality or old
tires it is advisable to add 25 - 50% more product.
3. If you come out in the morning and your Tire Safety
Solution treated tire is flat, all you need to do is to re-inflate
the tire, drive the vehicle for 8 km (5 miles) and then follow the
Tire Safety Solution Removal of Puncture Object directions.
Remember Tire Safety Solution did not let you down. It kept your
tire from going flat while driving and kept you from having to do a
roadside repair possibly in inclement weather!
Tire Balancing Procedures
BALANCING A NEW TIRE:
The preferred
procedure is to balance the tire before installing Tire Safety
Solution, then you can install the product and no additional
balancing is necessary.
RE-BALANCING A
TIRE:
1. Place the tire on the balancer and spin it. DO NOT let this
spinning motion stop. When the spin cycle has stopped, IMMEDIATELY
re-engage the machine to spin again. Repeat the cycle until
the reading is consistent. (It can possibly take ten or more cycles
on some machines to achieve a consistent reading).
2. As quickly as possible after the tire stops spinning, apply the
necessary weight to the inside of the tire.
3. Begin the spinning process again, not allowing the tire to stop
spinning. (If the machine stops for any length of time, the solution
can settle to the bottom of the tire and you could possible have to
start again).
4. When the readings are again constant, allow the tire to stop
spinning and IMMEDIATELY apply the last weight.
5. Begin the process again. When the readings are consistently
within the proper range (“. 25-.00” or “. 25-.25”) the tire is
properly balanced.
IT IS NOT
NECESSARY TO BALANCE A NEW TIRE after installing Bi-Tron IF
the tire has been previously balanced. If it becomes necessary to
re-balance a tire due to time and wear on the tire or if the tire
was improperly balanced in the first place, the following procedures
MUST be followed.
In the event that
a tire (new or used) must be balanced immediately after installing
Tire Safety Solution, the following procedure must be followed:
1.
After the new tire has been properly mounted, place it on the
balancer and spin the tire. Inspect the tire and wheel to make
sure there are no abnormalities, such as out of round, exterior
sidewall bulging, or bent wheel.
2. Remove the tire from the machine
and install the proper amount of Tire Safety Solution. Because the
product must evenly spread over the interior surface of the tire, it
is necessary, before balancing, to roll the tire several times on
the floor at a 45-degree angle. This should be done on both
sides.
3. Follow the procedures listed above
for Re-Balancing a Tire.
In some rare
circumstances, it is possible to notice a slight balance problem for
the first five miles of driving after installing Tire Safety
Solution. There is no reason for concern unless it continues after
the first few miles of driving.
Caution:
Not compatible with fluid filled or internally ridged tires.
V or Z rated
tires and Goodyear Eagle GA have internal structures which interfere
with the even distribution of the product.
Self Sealing
Tires such as Vogue, Uniroyal Royal Seal, Goodyear self sealing
contain chemicals which will negate the sealing properties of our
Tire Safety Solution.
