With the Ranger series, JK Tyre aims to augment its presence in one of the fastest growing segments in the Indian auto industry, i.e. the Sports Utility Vehicle segment. JK Tyre will export the new range of tyres to its international markets.
The Ranger Series is designed to upgrade the overall driving experience of SUVs in India. Superior Dual Tread Compound, in Ranger Series, provides maximum grip and control to match the power and size of these vehicles. Ranger tyres will be available in two specialised applications—RANGER A/T - for all-terrain performance and Ranger H/T - for tarmac application. The tyres come in 10 sizes and therefore work best with a variety of SUVs available in the Indian market, viz., Audi Q-series, Land Rover Freelander, Fortuner, Nissan X-trail, Terrano, Pajero, EcoSport, Duster, and many more.
According to Vivek Kamra, President – India Operations, JK Tyre & Industries Ltd, “Technology & R&D have been the driving forces for us. Aspiring to augment our presence in each and every product segment, Ranger Series is yet another marvel from our state of the art R&D facilities.”
Ranger Series has been rigorously tested globally by the professional race drivers on various terrains, and has been assessed as the best in class in handling, grip and braking. JK Ranger AT Series stops within 4 seconds; be it dry road or wet road.
In addition to focusing majorly on India, JK Tyre is also considering organic and inorganic growth in the emerging markets of South-East Asia. It has 9 plants across India and Mexico.
