Interstate Adds News Sizes

Interstate has announced that it is updating its Interstate Sport IXT-1 programme in December 2006 and February 2007. The first run of new sizes to come online will be the Interstate Sport IXT-1 225/55 R16 RF (reinforced) in 99W and 235/45R17 RF in 97W. These will be followed in February by 225/55R17 RF in 101W. The complete programme runs from 13 to 18 inches and is available up to W-speed-rating with lots of XL load indexes.

The Interstate Sport IXT-1 is a directional UHP tyre. The V-shaped grooves in the IXT-1 tread are designed to pump water away and allow the rubber to grip the road. The central rib of the tread pattern provides directional stability and rapid response. Also the shoulder blocks are designed for maximum lateral stability and sweeping elements promote excellent wet and dry handling characteristics. The newly designed and patented Flange Protector protect alloy rims from accidental curb damage.
