CEAT announced its association with Maruti Suzuki India for the newly launched Alto 800. CEAT’s ‘Fuelsmarrt TL’ tyres are specially customized for this model and will be available in 145/80R12 size. It is the first tyre in the 12inch category to come with low rolling resistance. The ‘CEAT Fuelsmarrt TL’ tyres for the New Alto have interlocked blocks with optimum deformation for better stability.
The optimized tread pattern of the Fuelsmarrt tyres helps in providing low rolling resistance, which in turn helps to keep the vehicle within the driver’s control and provides better fuel efficiency. Additionally, these tyres promise to offer superior comfort and grip in both wet and dry road conditions.
