Tyron Run Flat

Anyone use these? I had never heard of them before, albeit my RV'ing background is limited to the last year of so. Sounds like a wonderful safety add-on.

Heard of them, never considered purchasing them. North Trail has a display set up for selling them that I have glanced at.
 
These (RettroBand) seem to be a different technology.

I'm plan to get the rettrobands on our way back north in the Spring. Earlier if they are installing them at the Tamps show.
 
What's the typical cost + installation?
 
Depending on tire size it’s in the range of 3,500 to 4,500 is what I got as a quote from NIRVC who is the only dealer for rettrobands. I am getting them installed when I go to LV. This vid shows the installation steps.

Edit: I had the wrong price points.



My only concern is making sure they don’t get damaged should the tire need to be replaced. I can see a tire tech unknowingly damage them if they don’t know how to work with the product.
 
I have the Tyron bands on my current gasser. Had them installed when I bought the coach. Never field tested them, gratefully, but it gives me peace of mind. I intend to have the Rettrobands installed by NIRVC when I get back from CPU...
 
It will be interesting if they can ever be bought after market and installed at a truck tire place. No way I'm paying that price point.
 
NIRVC has a no competition deal with the manufacturer. $4000 ish
 
I called what I thought was the manufacture but got the main call center for National Indoor RV Center (469.443.4764) and they quoted me $3,475.00, installed. This is for tire size 275/80R 22.5. And (according to this person) it makes no difference which NIRVC you go to, they will all charge the same.

I don't find that to be too bad for the kind of protection that they offer.
