GT RADIAL WILL LAUNCH THE EXTREME ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE TYRES CHAMPIRO SX2 IN MALAYSIA
PT Gajah Tunggal Tbk, the largest integrated tyre manufacturer in ASEAN and the producer of GT Radial tyre, is committed to continuously improve its products offerings to strengthen the company’s position and grow its presence in Malaysia tyres market.
GT Radial has been present in Malaysia since 1998. In 2012 GT Radial was appointed as the OEM tyres for Proton, the Malaysia’s national car manufacturer, fitted in their new Proton Exora Bold and new Proton Prevé.
As part of the efforts to strengthen its position in Malaysia, GT Radial will launch The Extreme Ultra High Performance (UHP) tyre, Champiro SX2, by inviting motorsport journalists and car enthusiasts to do a test drive of the tyre in Megalap event and to see its performance in gymkhana exhibition in Sepang International Circuit on Sunday, 2nd June 2013.
GT Radial Champiro SX2 tyre is developed for the drivers of sports and performance cars that have a passion for sport driving. The tyre is designed to provide high level of traction, responsive steering, handling and driving control on both dry and wet roads. GT Radial Champiro SX2 is a street legal tyre with DOT (Department of Transport) certification. Hence the tyres can be used not only for motorsport racing but also for daily driving for the motorsport enthusiasts.
There are three main features of GT Radial Champiro SX2 that make the tyre performs better than competitors. First, the tyre has dual block design with extra wide shoulder block to increase cornering stability and grips in all road surfaces. Second, the advance thread compound that provides excellent adhesion to dry and wet roads and third, the three circumferential grooves on the tyre that provide very good performance on wet road condition by significantly reducing aquaplaning.
GT Radial Champiro SX2 have been used in various motorsport events such as Formula Drift (FD) Asia 2012, Indonesia’s National Gymkhana Championship 2012 and Australia’s Pro Drift Series 2012 by GT Radial sponsored racers and showed very satisfying results. GT Radial Drift Team is the runner up of FD Asia 2012 and Toyota Team Indonesia racing on GT Radial Champiro SX2 is the champion of Indonesia National Gymkhana Championship 2012.
Malaysia prominent racer and drifter, Ee Yong Chern, who also joined the GT Radial Drift Team competing in FD Asia 2012 has tried GT Radial Champiro SX2 and he is very satisfied with the ultimate performance of the tyres. His testimony can be read in his Facebook page.
Come and witness the ultimate performance of GT Radial Champiro SX2 in Sepang International Circuit on Sunday, 2nd June 2013.

Attended their GT Radial SX2 launch this morning at Sepang. Quite many Media, Dealers were invited.
Attended a short briefing on the tyres then off to test drive of the tyres for dry and wet handling, slalom and wet braking.
Drove the Polo GTi. The tyres handles very well in both dry and wet and brakes well in the wet too. But only had a short trial of one slow and one fast lap. Have to really test these tyres on my VR for daily use.....
