Federal Introduces Xtramile XR01

Federal has introduced its new Xtramile XR01, a tyre designed for “reducing gas consumption”, according to the company. It also states that the tyre will feature “improved grip in a long-lasting tyre by utilising a blend of wear-resistant compound along with increased tread depth to offer prolonged tyre life.” Other features, says Federal, will include a distinctive tread pattern, four bold grooves for stability and increased water expulsion, dual layers of polyester carcass ply and strengthened sidewalls, alongside reduced road noise.

Federal dealers will begin selling 12 popular sizes, through 13- to 15-inch rim diameters from 55-70 series. These offerings comprise H- to V-speed ratings and will be available in the first quarter of 2009. A more comprehensive range will be added later.
