What is a tyre guard?
A tyre guard is a protective layer of material that is placed between the tyre and the ground. They're commonly installed on a range of vehicles, including cars, construction equipment, trucks, and buses. They work to protect the tyres from damage, helping them to last longer. They also help protect other parts of the vehicle, such as the undercarriage, the chassis, and the engine block.
How do tyre guards work?
Tyre guards are made from strong, durable materials that are flexible enough to move with the tyre without causing any damage or wearing out. The material has a special coating that allows it to grip tightly onto the tyre so that it doesn't come off easily, but does not leave any residue behind when it's removed. The tyre guard is usually attached using fasteners that are fitted around the tyre.
How long do tyre guards last?
Tyre guards are usually made of plastic and rubber, which means that they can last for a very long time. In fact, many tyre guards are designed to last at least five years, but there's no reason they couldn't last more than this if they're well looked after.
What is the process of applying a tyre guard?
The process of applying a tyre guard is simple. In most cases, it only involves two steps, which are:
- Clean the tyre first with soap and water.
- Apply the guard to the tyre with a spray gun or brush, depending on the type of guard being installed (follow the instructions provided).
