A tyre bursts at highway speed.
What happens in the next three seconds depends on one thing: does the flat tyre stay on the wheel, or come off it?
Most blowout crashes are not caused by the burst. They are caused by the driver losing control in the seconds after it.
Watch a tyre burst with the Multiband fitted
The tyre goes flat, stays on the rim, and the driver steers and brakes to a stop. This is what the animations above show, on a real car.
Tyre bursts are in the news every month. The crash comes after the burst.
A blowout happens to careful drivers at 60 as easily as at 110. The only part you control is what the wheel does next.
Your rim has a groove. A flat tyre falls into it.
- 1Every rim has a groove
Only air pressure keeps the tyre out of it.
- 2Lose the air, the tyre drops in
It comes loose and slides off the rim.
- 3The Multiband fills the groove
Nowhere to fall. The flat tyre stays put, you keep steering and brakes.
Fitted once at a certified workshop, under your normal tyres. You never feel it, until the day it matters.

Run-flats are for cars built for them. The Multiband is for everyone else.
Both stop a flat tyre coming off the rim. They get there differently.
Keep the flat tyre on the rim, so you keep steering and brakes.
Fitted once. There every day after.
About an hour at a certified workshop, under the tyres you already have. Refitted at each tyre change.
