Advertisement - 24 Dec 2009

It was then that the manufacturer chose 'Royal' tyres for the same application and found them to give superior performance - surpassing ETRTO's recommended load carrying capacity by at least 25%. For Royal Tyres, it was just another day at work: performances are routinely exceeded here.
