4x4 & OFF-ROAD
Land Rover vehicles: Defender, Discovery, Range Rover. Test tracks: Land Rover Experience (Land Rover test track), Solihull, Birmingham Pro-Trax, Leicestershire. Millbrook Proving Ground, Bedfordshire. Testing: Throughout 1997 and 1998 Vehicles fitted with Tyron wheel safety bands.

Testing was carried out with Land Rover and also by International off-road Champion Vince Cobley, in every off-road scenario, resulting in the Rover Group making Tyron bands a worldwide accessory. It was proven that the Tyron band would keep the tyre on its rim in any circumstance, providing traction and vehicle control at all speeds and on any terrain.

Tyron performed on Range Rovers at speed up to 120mph on the Millbrook test track, to maximum gradient slopes - including stop/start tests on the Land Rover test track, to deep water, mud and high speed off-roading at the Pro-Trax facility.
