GT Radial has launched a new tyre range designed for heavy duty, high speed vans.
Available in 25 sizes ranging from 155R12C 8PR to 235/65R16 8PR with speed indexes from R to H and load indexes from 88/86 to 118/116, most of the new Maxmiler Pro range is offered in 15 inch and 16 inch diameters.
Designed specifically for commercial users and fleet operators in the UK, the Maxmiler Pro claims improved robustness and durability in higher load conditions, better fuel economy and wet grip, lower noise levels and excellent mileage.
The Pro has a flatter tyre contour to create an even footprint to increase efficiency, and uses a new casing technology featuring a reinforced resin with new rubber bead cushion to strengthen the tyre and lengthen life. It sits alongside the GT Radial Maxmiler CX, EX, X and WT, which together cover the spectrum of light and heavy duty vans requirements.
Brian McDermott, country manager UK for Giti Tire, manufacturer of GT Radial, said: "Modern van tyres need to meet both the efficiency and performance evolution of the new generation vehicles, with higher speeds, durability and safety on a par with fuel efficiency. We have launched a product which will take our credibility up another level in this sector, this tyre will become the number one choice in the mid-market."
GT Radial is distributed exclusively in the UK by Micheldever, the largest independent wholesaler, retailer and distributor of tyres in the country.
