GT Radial to Make Show Debut at Coach & Bus Live 2013
GT Radial, the flagship brand of tyre manufacturer Giti, Flagship Giti Tire brand, will make its show debut at Coach & Bus Live 2013 in support of its recently launched all- position urban city-bus tyre, the GAU861.
Located on stand M138, the GAU861 has been designed with an extra reinforced sidewall protector to ensure maximum resistance to curbing and impact damage, while a unique tread pattern with a 20.2mm depth ensures good mileage performance combined with extra comfort and reduced noise.
Available initially in 275/70R22.5, the tyre can be used in both steer and drive positions on both 4x2 and 6x2 configurations and is M+S marked indicating excellent traction in mud and snow conditions.
Also on show will be the GAR820, a regional all-position
DRIVEN BY AIR.
17.5” diameter tyre created to cater for the increasing requirements of comfort, excellent wet and dr y handling properties and long wear-out performance.
Initially available in sizes 215/75R17.5, 205/75R17.5 and 225/75R17.5, the company has 235/75R17.5 and 245/70R17.5 currently in development and due for release later in the year. The tyre also carries an M+S marking indicating good winter performances.
A dedicated drive axle tyre for coach and regional bus operations, the GT629 utilises the latest three-dimensional interlocking sipe design with open shoulder and sidewall protector ribs. Designed to deliver exceptional regular wear, it is M+S marked and available in 295/80R22.5.
Tony McHugh, Sales and Marketing Director at Giti Tire UK, said: “The GAU861 was
very well received when it was launched at The CV Show in April, and interest and demand since means
that the participation of GT Radial at Coach & Bus Live 2013 is a must. “With the new
tyre, and the
others on stand,
we have a
strong mid-
market product portfolio and
support services offering that
puts us in a
very strong
position in the
sector, messages
we will be driving home throughout
the show and into
the market thereafter.”
