A lot of factors that come into play while traveling at high speed. The vehicle’s performance, its aerodynamics, suspension and the most important of them all — tyres. Cars like the Bugatti Veyron had tyres specially developed for them to enable safe travel at speeds over 400kmph. There is a lot of tech that goes behind it and all of it is backed by years of experience. It also pays to have knowledge of the environment you’re developing the tyres for. Take JK Tyre’s new Levitas Ultra tyres for example. These premium tyres are designed and developed for high-end luxury cars and SUVs and meet global standards, but the tyres were developed with a special focus on performance on Indian roads. We were invited to NATRAX, India’s premium testing facility, to gauge the abilities of these tyres.
