3. Corrosion
The following bulletin is in response to questions regarding the corrosiveness of the Ride-On Tire Protection System (TPS). The ingredients that comprise Ride-On TPS will not damage the components of casings or wheels. Ride-On TPS contains corrosion inhibitors that protect steel, magnesium, and aluminum wheels and tire belts against corrosion. Ride-On TPS also protects yellow metals like brass, commonly found in valve stems and cores, against oxidation. Ride-On tire sealant can be easily washed out of tires with water. It will not affect the future use of patches or other tire repairs. Finally, use of Ride-On TPS may actually help preserve tire casings, which in turn may make retreads last longer. Read More »
