Tyron to supply runflats for Lazar
Tyron Runflats has been selected by Yugoimports for the supply of all terrain, multipart rubber runflats for its Lazar 8x8 multi-role military vehicle, Tyron announced on 13 June.
Tyron will be providing complete runflat assemblies for the first 12 vehicles that are being manufactured by the Serbian armoured vehicle company for an unnamed customer.
Tyron's All Terrain Rubber Runflats (ATR) are designed to be fitted without special tools, even on the side of the road.
Being made of rubber the runflat absorbs far more energy than hard materials from kerb strikes and IEDs. The rubber of the ATR is over manufactured to ensure beadlock, which keeps the tyre in position, and gives a guaranteed high level off road flat tyre performance. With Tyron ATRs fitted, a vehicle can be driven evasively with all tyres shot out for a minimum of 50km.
The Lazar AFVis designed to operate over a wide range of harsh terrains and in many different operational environments where mobility is one of the keys to survivability.
Richard Glazebrook, managing director, Tyron Runflats, said: 'Easy to fit, good ride quality and the ability to keep moving at speed and for longer distances in the event of sudden tyre deflation, were all part of Yugoimports selection criteria.'
