What the tests show

Three results taken directly from the official TUV and MIRA reports, with no marketing spin.

200km/h

High-speed validation

AlloyGator remains firmly secured to the rim under Autobahn conditions: ~200 km/h on the straight, ~170 km/h on 33° banked bends, ~148 km per cycle, repeated 5 times on the MIRA high-speed track. No tyre pressure loss observed on any of the fitted tyres.

0.8bar

Ultra-low pressure retention

25 m circle test at 50 km/h with pressure progressively decreasing from 1.4 to 0.8 bar. AlloyGator stays in place and the tyre does not deteriorate, even within this emergency zone. AlloyGator does not degrade the tyre/rim retention properties.

2,500kg max

Maximum recommended weight

AlloyGator recommends its product for vehicles up to 2,500 kg laden, including passengers and luggage. Beyond this weight, the pressure exerted on the wheel may cause the rim protector to migrate: AlloyGator advises against use of the product in such cases and accepts no liability.

This commercial recommendation is more stringent than the TUV type approval (which covers cars and light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 t), in order to ensure the rim protector remains secure under real-world conditions. Compliant with ECE Regulation No. 26 on external projections: no protrusion after fitting.
