For now there are two ranges the ‘Green Earth XLR 65+’ and the ‘Green Earth XLR 65’ the latter represented by a 650/65 R38 size tyre.
Bipin Singh, general manager for sales and marketing at GRI explains that 42% of the green tyres are made using sustainable materials such as biomass and recycled products. And to make them stand out, the tyres are green in colour. This green colour is not a coating, it is part of the compound so the tyres will remain green througout their service life.
But it is not just the colour that makes the 65+ range interesting, it also has an unusual lug pattern. To give some on-road added stability, added service life and reduced vibration the treads do not overlap in the middle as they do on a conventional tyre. Instead, they are angled and run alongside one another so more of the lug is in contact with the ground.
