Westlake Gen II Truck Tyre Lineup

The centrepiece of ZC Rubber’s showcase was the Westlake Gen II truck tyre lineup. Attendees at SEMA 2024 were given a preview of four designs from this new range, marking an initial reveal of what will eventually be 13 new truck tyre models for North American fleets. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of commercial transport, the Westlake Gen II tyres integrate a range of advanced features aimed at optimising performance.

The new truck tyres are engineered to provide a longer-lasting, more efficient, and safer drive across long-haul routes. Noteworthy features include:

• Ultra Hybrid Formula: This technology reduces rolling resistance, boosting fuel efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
• Pre-strain Contour Theory (PSCT): Minimises tyre deformation, helping to maintain performance and safety across varied load conditions.
• Belt-Wrap Technology (BWT): Enhances resistance to rolling damage, contributing to greater durability and longevity.
• Extended Tyre Life: Improved design elements extend the tyre's lifespan, offering fleets better long-term value.
• Enhanced Stability: Reinforced structure for safer handling and stability on extended trips.

These innovations underscore ZC Rubber’s commitment to addressing key fleet needs—namely, performance, safety, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. The full lineup is set for a comprehensive launch, with fleet operators expected to benefit greatly from these advanced tyres' efficient and environmentally friendly features.

ARISUN Passenger Tyre Lineup Expansion

In addition to its commercial tyre developments, ZC Rubber has expanded its ARISUN passenger tyre lineup with two new models. Although details on these new tyres remain under wraps, the expansion reinforces ZC Rubber’s growing focus on the passenger tyre market. The ARISUN range, known for quality and reliability, reflects the company’s push to deliver high-performing, durable tyres to a diverse customer base in North America.
