One of India’s leading tyre manufacturers, JK Tyre and Industries Ltd., has announced the launch of its new Puncture Guard Tyres. As a pioneer of radial technology, the company states that these high-performance tyres are only applicable for four-wheelers in India. Along with the capability of tackling Indian road conditions, the new Puncture Guard Tyres aim to revolutionize the industry. Additionally, the introduction of these tyres will enhance the safety aspect among four-wheelers and their occupants across the country.
Puncture Guard Tyre: Development & Uses
JK Tyre has specially engineered a self-healing elastomer inner coat that it applies inside the new tyre via automation. The manufacturer states that these tyres can heal punctures and self-repair multiple penetrations caused by nails or other sharp objects. With a claimed capability of healing punctures caused by 6mm diameter objects, the tyre offers a hassle-free ride without air loss. JK Tyre had first introduced its Smart tyre technology in 2020 via its concept tyres at the Auto Expo, Delhi.
