AVON Tyres has produced two new design tyres, one which has been approved by Land Rover. The other one is still under evaluation by Land Rover.
The 600-16 Rangemaster radial is a dual-purpose tyre designed to give good off-road performance coupled with a speed capability of up to 140km/h (87mph).
Shown on a short-wheelbase Land Rover at the Royal Smithfield Show this week, the Avon Tredlite low-ground-pressure tyre is aimed at the farmer who wishes to keep soil and plant damage to a minimum or anyone who needs an all-year offroad capability.
The Tredlite operates with a low-inflation pressure and the tyre load is distributed over a large area. Road speed is limited to 80km/h (50mph) while off-road speed is restricted dependent on load.
