ZC Rubber presents two new Westlake truck tyres

ZC Rubber has added the WTR2 and the WTX2 to its successful Westlake Gen II truck tyre line.

The WTR2 is a trailer tyre for regional applications, offering improved fuel economy and driving comfort without compromising on mileage.

ZC Rubber says the rolling resistance of WTR2 has been greatly decreased based on upgraded compounding technology, casing material, tyre structure, and manufacturing process.

By tapping the innovative rubber mixing technology for the distribution of silica and super silane, the new tread compound also brings a significant reduction in rolling resistance.

Notebly, the WTR2 achieves Level A for fuel efficiency on the EU tyre label, and adopts the belt wrap technology for excellent durability and stability in intensive driving conditions.

The WTX2 meanwhile has been specially designed for lowboy trailers. It is an all-weather extra-load trailer tyre, with wider tread width and solid shoulder to offer increased tread stiffness and higher load capacity.

Its three zigzag grooves and multi-angled sipes enhance its traction and braking performance.

Both WTR2 and WTX2 have M+S and 3PMSF markings for all weather service.

Both tyres are designed with ZC Rubber’s latest PSCT theory, which was applied across all Westlake Gen II products. This technology helps to minimise the tyre profile deformation to improve the tyre life and overall performance.

This technology also significantly reduced the incidence of tyre groove cracking when driving or braking, according to ZC Rubber.
