JK Tyre launches new XF series tyres for Commercial Vehicles
The XF tyre series is built using JK’s new technology – ‘lower rolling resistance’ (RRC). This helps improve tyre efficiency by saving up to 8% fuel in comparison to normal radial tyres.
New Delhi - JK Tyre & Industries Ltd1 of New Delhi has launched the next generation of fuel-efficient tyres – the XF Series in two variants – front axle Jetway JUH XF and rear axle Jetsteel JDH XF which is ideal for long and regional haul applications.
The XF tyre series is built using JK’s new technology – ‘lower rolling resistance’ (RRC). This helps improve tyre efficiency by saving up to 8% fuel in comparison to normal radial tyres. The XF tyre series is created using the JETOCT technology that helps in the reduction of heat buildup in the carcass, resulting in improved durability. In addition, aided by the new tetra beam belt, this series also maintains a higher tread stiffness, allowing for a greater number of retreads. The technology used to create the XF series has been tested and validated at the Raghupati Singhania Centre of Excellence. The XF Series tyres are now available across JK Tyre authorized dealers in the country.
Mr. Vikram Malhotra, Marketing Director, JK Tyre & Industries Ltd, said, “At JK Tyre & Industries, it’s our constant endeavour to cater to the needs and requirements of our customers to enhance their driving experience. With our game-changing XF series, we want to give our customers the next generation of fuel-efficient tyres.
