Zafco to show Idiada-proven Zeetex ZT1000 at Essen
Zafco has tested its new Zeetex ZT1000 pattern at the Idiada testing facility in Spain, assessing its strengths and areas for improvement against two other brands from Korea and Taiwan respectively. The tyre tested strongly in aquaplaning, braking distance, steering, comfort, noise and estimated tyre life, consistently performing as well as, or better than, at least one of the other tyres tested, the company says. Testing on a scale of 1-10, where 10 denotes “exceptional” performance, the tyre scored consistently between seven (“good”) and eight (“very good”). Raghavendra Sanga, business & technical insights manager at Zafco, commented that: “R&D at Zeetex will incorporate the results of this study in its future product developments.” He also revealed that Zeetex will showcase the ZT1000 “as an environment friendly tyre at Reifen 2012 in Essen, Germany."
