Kirkby Tyres boosts bus range with Double Coin RT606

Exclusive importer and distributor of several budget brand truck and bus radial tyre product lines to the UK, Speke-based wholesaler Kirkby Tyres says it has sold over one million Double Coin truck tyres into the replacement market to date, and this partnership now includes a regional and all-position tyre built for urban and regional bus applications.

The Double Coin RT606 features a five-rib design to promote more precise handling, lateral stability and superior traction. The tyre has been developed to resist cuts and abrasions and perform well during the daily challenges an urban and regional tyre faces. The tyre’s reinforced sidewall is designed to prevent the tyre from damage in urban use, where kerbs and city road hazards are more likely to prove problematic.

The tyre also has an enhanced tread compound and siping to fight irregular wear and provide longer life. The five-rib tread design also encompasses wider shoulders to enhance the tyre’s durability, traction and evenness of wear. The tyre features a deep (19mm) original tread depth to allow for greater longevity in regional high scrub applications.

Double Coin claims to be the leading and longest established manufacturer producing truck and bus radials in China.  Kirkby Tyres says that Double Coin is now enjoying success in the original equipment market with complete truck tyre and wheel units. The Double Coin RT606 is available in size 275/70R22.5 from Kirkby Tyres.
