The “Ux Green” tyre was tested extensively indoors and outdoors on roads as well as on test tracks to validate the performance.
Dr. Raghupati Singhania, Chairman and Managing Director, JK Tyre said that the tyre had been fully designed and developed using 80 percent sustainable materials and this was a step towards being carbon neutral by 2050, adding that the range of such tyres would be offered in due course.
