"This joint marketing relationship just makes sense," said Mark Farkhan, Inovex president. "PressurePro and Ride-On share the same goals of safety, asset protection and environmental protection."

"Working together, PressurePro and Ride-On provide a very cost effective and thorough way for everyone, from companies with large fleets to individual car owners, to add safety, savings and peace-of-mind to their travels, while also helping cut on road and tire waste by adding tread life to tires," said Phillip Zaroor, president of Advantage PressurePro.

The parties claim Ride-On is the only tire sealant proven to work in conjunction with PressurePro TPMS units. (Tire Review/Akron)
