JK Tyre Ranger SUV Tyres launched

With the aim of making it presence in the popular Sport Utility Vehicle segment, JK Tyre recently launched its Range Series of UV tyres in Panaji, Goa. These tyres have been purpose built for extreme conditions and to suit the needs of an SUV.

The Ranger tyres will be made available in two variants – AT and HT. Both these variants have been built keeping in mind their specialised applications. The AT tyres, as the name abbreviates is for All-Terrain application while the HT range has been designed for tarmac application. Both these tyres sport superior dual tread compound that is claimed to give maximum grip and control. The Ranger series tyres have been launched in 10 sizes and will therefore suit quite a few SUVs on sale in India including the Audi Q series, the Land Rover Freelander, Toyota Fortuner, Nissan X-trail, Mitsubishi Pajero, Renault Duster, Ford EcoSport and more.

Sharing his views on the launch, Mr. Vivek Kamra, President – India Operations, JK Tyre & Industries Ltd said, “Aspiring to augment our presence in each and every product segment, Ranger Series is yet another marvel from our state of the art R&D facilities. Being a customer centric company, this product reiterates our commitment to identify new and emerging customer needs and proactively introduce technologically advanced products to keep pace with changing market scenario.”

Before finally offering the JK Tyre Ranger to its customers, these tyres have been rigorously tested by in-house professional race drivers. JK Tyre claims that the Ranger AT series comes to a standstill from 100kmph within 4 seconds on dry roads while on wet roads it comes to a halt from 80kmph in the same time.

In addition to India, JK Tyre will also sell its Ranger series in all its international markets. Currently JK Tyre has its presence in over 100 countries with a total of 9 plants in India and Mexico.
