What does PAX stand for?
It actually started in 1997 as PAV, a technical abbreviation describing this new, vertically anchored tire. With a traditional tire, inflation pressure helps hold the tire to the rim. The innovative anchoring mechanism of PAX System is designed to not separate from the rim and actually improves its hold when vertical loads are applied to the tire. By 1998, PAV was renamed PAX System, which translates to the values of peace of mind, safety, and the future. When it comes to safety, PAX System is way ahead of traditional tire and wheel assemblies. The most fundamental difference between the two is that a PAX System tire is designed to not separate from the rim, even with the occurrence of a sudden flat at high speeds under normal driving conditions. And, should a flat occur, PAX System allows for the vehicle to be driven up to 125 miles at 55 mph, which means you’re less likely to be stranded on the side of the road.
