On the product design, Mr. V. Sivaramakrishnan, Chief Technology Officer, TVS Srichakra Ltd said, “Art and science are at work while we design tyres with global technology, as both tread pattern design as well as material composition have a great impact on performance – Trailhound is a true testament to this. Trailhound SCR tyres have 80/20 on-off capabilities, and the tread pattern is designed to improve water drainage and traction on gravel roads, while retaining excellent stability and comfort on tarmac. The 90/10 tread pattern design of Trailhound STR boosts water dispersal, wear uniformity and traction on gravel and light off-road terrain.”
