LOS ANGELES--Nov. 26, 2013: 2013's big holiday driving season is about to start. The manufacturers of Ride-On tire sealant and LED Smart Caps would like to remind the public that blowouts are even more dangerous when roads are wet from rain, snow, or sleet - just the kind of weather we get this time of year. Drivers need to educate themselves on what to do – and what not to do – in the event of a blowout. Even more important, however, is trying to prevent them from happening in the first place. Ride-On Tire Protection System (Ride-On TPS) is a gel-like substance that protects against sudden flats by filling in punctures with super-strong fibers that perform a sort of instant flat tire repair. LED Smart Caps protect tires by alerting drivers when air pressure drops below optimal levels by 4 psi. Starting at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, November 27, consumers can take advantage of a very special anti-blowout blowout sale over the holiday weekend.

Ride-On TPS is a widely praised car, scooter, and motorcycle tire balancer and sealant that coats the lining of tires with a gel-like substance that contains fibers six times stronger than steel. In the event of a sudden puncture caused by an object such as a nail or a screw, the centrifugal force of the rotating tire combined with the internal air pressure pushes the Ride-On into the hole, stopping the air loss, and allowing the driver and the vehicle to continue driving safely.

Road hazards aside, insufficient tire pressure can greatly increase the risk of a blowout. Ride-On LED Smart Caps screw onto tires like regular tire caps, but when the tire pressure drops 4 psi below the set pressure point, the caps flash "red" to alert the driver to add more air to the tires. The result is increased safety and fuel efficiency.

Of course, blowouts do still happen and drivers should be aware that their natural reaction in such a circumstance – hitting the brakes and turning in the opposite direction of their skidding – is 100% wrong. Instead, drivers need to keep the level of acceleration steady and gradually aim for the closest safe stopping point they have access to. (More complete information can be found in a PDF available from the National Safety Council website, "What to Do If You Have a Blowout on the Highway.")

Naturally, however, the safest and least costly way to deal with a blowout is to prevent one from ever happening. To help the public give the priceless gift of safety to the most important people in their lives this holiday season, Ride-On is offering a special Black Friday sale aimed at drivers of all types of vehicles.
