FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – XTRM SYSTEMS

1. Can XTRM Systems damage tires or rims?
No. Both XTRM T3 and XTRM T6 formulations are fully compatible with rubber and do not react with metal parts.
On the contrary, XTRM contains anti-corrosion additives that protect the internal metallic structures of the tire as well as the rims.

2. Does the product harden inside the tire?
No. XTRM Systems remains fluid inside the tire.
It only hardens in case of total consumption after a very large number of punctures.

3. Can XTRM Systems be easily removed from the tire?
Yes. The product can be easily removed during tire replacement, as it washes off with water.

4. Can the product clog the valve?
Under normal use, no.
In some cases, with the most concentrated formulations, a light deposit may appear.
It disappears during inflation or can be removed by clearing the valve core with a fine tool.

5. What is thixotropy?
Thixotropy is the property of a viscous fluid that becomes more liquid when agitated, then returns to its original viscosity when at rest.
XTRM Systems is a thixotropic fluid — homogeneous and pasty, yet easy to inject after shaking.

6. Can XTRM Systems be used with a Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS)?
Yes, but only with XTRM T3, and exclusively for tread area protection.

7. Is it compatible with run-flat systems?
Yes. A specific XTRM formulation has been developed for run-flat tires to optimize their performance.

8. When is the best time to install XTRM Systems?
Ideally in new tires, as a preventive treatment after balancing.
This maximizes lifespan and performance.

9. What is the product’s effective lifespan?
On average: 1 year under normal use.
It may be shorter under intensive conditions (lawn equipment, quarries, forestry, or rocky terrain).
In such cases, it is recommended to re-inject half to a full dose annually.
Unlike some competitors claiming “up to 10 years,” we prefer realism — any fluid is progressively consumed as it seals microleaks, porosity, and punctures.

10. Does XTRM Systems prevent blowouts?
The product helps reduce internal tire temperature, limiting overheating risks and improving resistance to blowouts.
However, it cannot compensate for a structural tire defect or prevent accidents caused by serious mechanical failure.

11. What are the operating temperatures?
The XTRM Systems range remains effective between –10 °C and +100 °C (14 °F to 212 °F).

12. In which vehicles can XTRM Systems be used?
In any vehicle equipped with tires with or without inner tubes, as long as the speed does not exceed 110 km/h (68 mph).

13. Can the product cause imbalance (vibration)?
If dosages are respected, no.
XTRM remains a liquid mass adhering mostly to the tread area.
At speeds above 110 km/h, a slight imbalance may occur.

14. Can XTRM Systems repair an already punctured tire?
Yes, within certain limits:

• XTRM T3 seals up to 4 mm on the tread area.

• XTRM T6 seals up to 12 mm.
  However, it cannot repair major cuts or damaged sidewalls.

15. Can it be used in tube-type tires?
Yes, with XTRM T3, injected through the valve.
In this case, it is recommended to slightly overinflate (by 1.5–3 kg) to help the tube fully expand with the product.
Effectiveness is slightly lower than in tubeless tires due to inner friction between the tube and casing.

16. Is it suitable for industrial tires?
Yes. XTRM is particularly recommended for quarries, construction sites, and harsh environments, where tire repairs are costly and time-consuming.
In such cases, we recommend XTRM T6.

17. Is the product dangerous?
No. XTRM Systems is neutral for tires and environmentally safe.
It contains suspended rubber particles, so avoid eye contact and keep out of reach of children.
