MRF Releases Silica Based PCR Range

India’s largest tyre manufacturer, MRF, has unveiled a new high performance PCR line. Called the MRF ZSLK, the tyre features a silica reinforced compound that is said to reduce rolling resistance, thus providing economic and green benefits. MRF reports that, in addition to in-house tests conducted by the company’s R&D centre, the ZSLK series has undergone testing with the globally respected technical services firm, Germany’s TÜV.

The first tyre in the ZSLK range to be made available is a 175/65 R14 82 T size, suitable for smaller vehicles such as the Ford Fiesta and Honda City. MRF confirms that other sizes will be made available in the near future.
