what is TPC?

TPC is a closed mesh of high alloy, hardened steel chains. These systems protect the tread and sidewalls of the tires, and their flexible designs allow them to adjust to every deformation of the tire. High levels of self- cleaning prevents tread mesh from becoming filled and clogged and provides for the best possible road holding and traction.

why tpc?

Sharp, jagged rocks and muddy and slippery surfaces are a significant hazard to tires—even when they are new. Sudden tire failure results in equipment downtime, loss of productivity, and delays in projects. Currently, there is no sign of an end to the worldwide earthmover tire shortage, which fuels the escalation of tire replacement costs. Premature deterioration of tires is a costly inconvenience.
