WHAT IS MAGNUM?

Designed principally for balancing Off Road, medium & light truck tyres, MAGNUM is a dry free-flowing compound consisting of smooth, specially coated mircrobeads that is inserted into the tyre to reduce the amount of vibrations and continually re balance the tyre.

MAGNUM’s once off installation provides a self-adjusting balance throughout the life of your tyre, which in turn reduces your maintenance costs and ultimately provides a longer life span for your tyres.

HOW MAGNUM WORKS

MAGNUM works with the rotation of the tyre and wheel assembly. As the tyre rotates, centrifugal force distributes the tyre balancing compound evenly around the interior of the tyre. MAGNUM responds to irregularities within the tyre, road conditions and even the load of your vehicle.

In an unbalanced tyre, any heavy spot in the tread or variation in the stiffness of the sidewall of the tyre will create a 'pull’ away from the tyre that results in vibration.

When MAGNUM is present, the free-flowing characteristics of the microbeads allow itself to move in the opposite direction, thereby offsetting the effects of the heavy spot, and keeping the tyre balanced at all times.

There is virtually nothing in MAGNUM Balancing Compound that can affect the performance of a tyre. All materials are inert and do not cause any extra wear on the inner liner.

WHY USE MAGNUM?

There are significant advantages to using MAGNUM:

  • Can be used with mechanical and internal bead locking systems

  • Lead weights can be dislodged or lost whilst four wheel driving and your tyres need to be re-balanced.

  • Less vibration resulting in fewer component and maintenance problems

  • Automatically compensates for the change in a heavy spot due to wear, clumped up mud and any other foreign matter,

  • Compensates for any imbalance created by the other moving parts of the wheel assembly – brakes, hub and wheel bearings

  • Compensates for any road surface imbalances

  • Easy to install at home

  • Saves you money – you will get thousands of extra kilometres out of a set of tyres through more even wear

  • One-time installation means you will never have to rebalance your tyres again!!

SUPERIOR FLOWABILITY

The key to a good dry balancing compound is superior flowability – this allows the balancing compound to move instantly in response to the imbalance conditions of the tyre, and to re-adjust to any changes that may occur during use.
MAGNUM is different to other products on the market - balancing is facilitated by thousands of tiny microbeads, each no larger than the tip of a ball-point pen, specially coated to reduce their friction level to a minimum. A combination of other materials covers the inside of the tyre, keeping it smooth, dry and free from static electricity that might hinder the free movement of the microbeads..
Also, the coated microbeads give MAGNUM unmatched durability, so that MAGNUM does not lose its ‘balancing power’ allowing it to be used again & again.
