GRP expands Ai-TECH Offroad range with ‘Micro’ pattern

Having brought its brand new Ai-TECH 1:8 Buggy tyre range to market earlier this year, Italian tyre producer GRP has expanded the range with the introduction of a fifth pattern, the ‘Micro’. With the results for the new line very impressive, after many races and testing GRP saw they needed to add a new design to complete the line with a tyre for low/middle grip condition. Completely designed by Maurizio Gandini, who together with his wife Susan and daughter Sara have owned MRP since 2017, they worked on developing this new pattern and preparing the mould in very short time and now after many tests they present the new Micro. The big difference of the Micro compared to other similar products on market is the quality of the mould, the mould produced with special chromed steel, CNC machined and finished with new laser technology. The pins of the Micro tyre are very sharp, this guaranteeing maximum grip and long life. Feedback for the Ai-TECH range being their string performance, long life and very high quality for all components like the wheel, insert and tyre.
