LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recent study released by Consumer Reports, many car dealerships are replacing traditional spare tires with inflator kits and cans of tire sealant in order to lower the vehicle's weight and make the fuel efficiency look more attractive to the costumer. Once a car's engine is as efficient as it's going to get, the easiest way to increase fuel efficiency is by lowering the weight of the car, and it's only natural that, when there is a viable alternative in tire sealants like Ride-On orange sealant, spare tires were naturally the next thing to go.

While the extra weight of a spare tire may not seem like much, fueleconomy.gov estimates that carrying an extra 100 pounds in the trunk of a car can decrease efficiency by 1%. Since a spare tire kit can weigh around 50 pounds depending on the size of the tire, drivers can see real savings over the course of a year. This is especially true for trucking companies who make regular trips across country. The more miles driven each year, the more money can be saved by reducing the weight of a vehicle.

While some tire sealants are meant to be used on an emergency only basis to temporarily plug a tire once the flat occurs, Ride-On Tire tire sealant is applied in advance, to make sure that important utility vehicles don't get slowed down if a puncture occurs. Ride-On tyre sealant is responsible for protecting the tires on many of the nation's most mission critical vehicles and those most crucial in keeping our economy moving. It does an outstanding job at protecting against flat tires that can put a halt to important work while helping extend tire life by helping maintain set point pressures and by continuously and dynamically balancing tires.

Ride-On tyre sealant is also an industry leader in the upkeep of heavy duty equipment used in fields like construction, mining and logging where spare tires may not be readily available. Waste haulers and construction companies especially benefit from Ride-On tyre sealant - in fact, over a quarter of the country's top twenty hauling companies and fleets have used Ride-On to prevent flat tires.

Additionally, Ride-On tire sealant and tire balancer is sold by motorcycle and ATV dealers whose customers don't have the option of spare tires. Also, considering how dangerous it can be to have a sudden blowout on a motorcycle, preventing flats before they happen adds an extra element of safety for motorcycle rides. Not only can the Ride-On Tire Protection System save time, it can also save a life.

While spare tires are often viewed as the conventional way to resolve a flat, Ride-On Tire tire sealant has benefits for both efficiency and safety.
