Silica-rich compound technology. Formulated by TVS for the RC-900, the functionalised silica–carbon black blend couples to S-SBR/BR polymers via silane bonding to raise tan delta at low slip frequencies for superior wet micro-grip while controlling hysteresis at operating temperatures to keep rolling resistance low. This chemistry resists abrasion and crack growth under shear, so the tread maintains pattern stiffness over high chipseal loads common in New Zealand, delivering longer service life per dollar and more predictable wet braking without sacrificing fuel efficiency.

Variable-pitch tread design. The RC-900’s tread employs a variable pitch sequence with chamfered leading edges and optimised groove radii to minimise block deformation and heat build-up under repeated load cycles, while promoting rapid water evacuation from the contact patch. The result is lower pattern noise, reduced tread squirm during heavy braking, and enhanced hydroplaning resistance on rain-polished surfaces, giving you stable, confidence-inspiring tracking and shorter stopping distances in real-world Kiwi conditions.

High-tensile casing plies. A high-tenacity polyester/nylon carcass architecture with controlled cord angles provides a balanced stiffness gradient from bead to crown, ensuring the RC-900 maintains a uniform contact pressure distribution under load. This multi-ply reinforcement resists impact and puncture propagation, dampens road buzz on coarse aggregate, and preserves profile integrity at speed, translating into precise steering response, consistent wear across the tread, and dependable durability over long kilometres.

Stiffened bead apex. Engineered bead bundles with a hard apex filler and compliant rim cushion layer lock the RC-900 securely to the rim while filtering high-frequency vibrations. This construction improves lateral stiffness at the tyre–rim interface, sharpening turn-in and reducing shimmy, yet allows enough vertical compliance to protect the casing from rim pinch. You get crisp, repeatable handling and rim retention confidence even under aggressive manoeuvres, with less heat concentration around the bead for extended service life.

Low rolling resistance profile. The RC-900 uses a contour tuned for low energy loss—combining a stable centre rib zone with progressively loaded shoulders—to reduce deformation work per revolution. Coupled with the compound’s optimised hysteresis curve, this lowers rolling resistance without compromising wet grip, helping cut fuel consumption on stop–go commutes and highway runs alike. Over time, that efficiency adds up, delivering tangible running-cost savings while maintaining the traction and braking performance you expect from TVS.
