Enhanced Performance and Safety Features

The new WESTLAKE Gen II tyres represent a leap forward in tyre technology, with a particular focus on reducing rolling resistance and improving overall efficiency. All three models have earned the M+S (Mud and Snow) and 3PMS (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake) certifications, affirming their capability to perform reliably under winter conditions. This makes them an excellent choice for operators who require dependable year-round performance.

One of the key innovations in these new tyres is the incorporation of low-heat-generating compound technology, known as the Ultra Hybrid Formula. This advanced compound is designed to minimise rolling resistance, which not only enhances fuel efficiency but also contributes to lower CO2 emissions, supporting ZC Rubber’s commitment to environmental sustainability.

Cutting-Edge Design for Durability and Stability

The new WESTLAKE Gen II tyres feature the latest profile design, PSCT (Profile Shape Control Technology), which significantly reduces tyre profile deformation. This design enhancement ensures less uneven wear, leading to longer tyre life and improved durability. Additionally, the tyres are equipped with Belt-Wrap Technology (BWT), which provides superior crack resistance, further extending tyre life while ensuring excellent stability and safety on the road.

Tailored Solutions for Diverse Applications

Each of the three new tyres is engineered to meet specific operational needs:

  • WAM2: Versatile and robust, the WAM2 is suitable for mixed terrain and all axle positions, making it ideal for both on and off-road operations. Its design offers flexibility and reliability across various driving conditions.
  • WSL2: Specifically designed for long-haul applications on steer axles, the WSL2 boasts enhanced wear resistance and increased mileage, providing long-distance drivers with the durability and performance they need for extended journeys.
  • WDL2: Engineered for long-haul drive axles, the WDL2 features a wider tread and higher saturation, delivering not only longer mileage but also greater driving stability and improved traction, which are critical for maintaining control and safety over long distances.

Invitation to Experience the Innovation at IAA Transportation 2024

ZC Rubber invites all industry professionals and attendees to visit their booth at Hall 12/B66 during IAA Transportation, from September 17-22, 2024. Visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about these innovative products and experience firsthand the cutting-edge advancements that the WESTLAKE Gen II tyres offer. The launch event promises to be a highlight of the exhibition, showcasing ZC Rubber's commitment to pushing the boundaries of tyre technology.
