“Sailun’s engineers would visit Ma- laysia at least once or twice every year to collect market information and user feedback for product im- provement. Thus, the Rovelo tyres that we bring in are not Chinese tyres designed for the Chinese market, but they are designed according to Ma- laysia’s climate, road condition and applications to suit local use. In com- paring Rovelo UHP tyres to those of competitors, I would say Rovelo’s quality and performance are well worth its value!”
At present, the Rovelo products that STC Tyre Mart carries range from Passenger Car Radial (PCR), Ultra High Performance (UHP) to 4x4/ SUV/Light Truck Radial (LTR) tyres.
“For PCR, we have the RHP-A68 and 788 high performance tyres, ranging from 12- to 16-inch that de- liver comfort and performance. The Sport A1 UHP tyres, ranging from 15- to 20-inch, feature asymmetrical tread pattern that provides excellent cornering stability while maintain- ing superior wet traction; wave-like design on the shoulder that helps reduce noise emission and increase cornering capabilities; and groove safer driving on wet roads. With its eject mud, sand, gravel and other debris to improve grip. Its lengthened tread shoulder employs a multi-lay- ered protruding design to improve strength and prevent damage to the - perience. Traction and climbing abil- ity are enhanced through the special- ly designed tread block pattern that maintains a staggered bite, while traction performance on various road surfaces is increased through a wid- ened running surface.”
Also available are the RCM-601 and RCM-X+ LTR tyres. The former with a rim size of 14- and 15-inch has a multi-directional pattern for strong
sipe design for better driving com- fort and unique sidewall design. The latter boasts an optimal sipe design that improves braking and traction performance on wet sur- faces, closed shoulder design for better handling and wear perfor- mance, and is available in diam- eter variants of 13- to 16-inch.
The latest pattern that the com- pany introduced is the Road Racer R1 that is suitable for normal road usage as well as drifting or racing. With its big shoulder block design, he said this new semi slick tyre demonstrated increased stability and handling capability. Its sleek and wide shoulder grooves drain speed stability is obtained, thanks to its widen tread and wave-like central rib design. Sizes available are from 15- to 18-inch.
As for the company’s sales chan- nel, Ang said it had established a Rovelo dealer’s network. “Our fo- cus right now is to solidify Rovelo’s brand awareness and the current network. We have plans to bring in more SUV tyres and sizes as well as expand our network, but we would like to do it step by step.”
