Turbo Wholesale Tires Inc. has released the first of its new products for 2023, and it's a run-flat tire: the Lexani Tire RFX and RFX Plus.
The Lexani RFX Plus is an all-season tire made for coupes, sedans, sports cars and performance-oriented vehicles. The tire is made with a reinforced rubber compound in the sidewall. The tire's run-flat technology allows drivers to go up to 50 miles at speeds less than 50 mph after a puncture or pressure loss.
The RFX Plus also features a special bead filler that lowers heat generation to prevent uneven wear and tire separation when the tire is without air.
“When we acquired Turbo just six months ago, our team committed to developing products that transport our brands to a place well beyond our historic competitors,” said Phillip Kane, CEO of Turbo Wholesale Tires. “The RFX is the first of more than one half dozen premium new product introductions we’ll make this year — a pace of innovation unheard of in our industry. We are very rapidly delivering increased value for consumers — that’s the best part.”
The Lexani RFX Plus features large outer blocks to improve control and grip, while the wide bead area works to prevent tire separation, a common problem when driving without air pressure. The tire's silicon rubber compound also lowers rolling resistance, Turbo Wholesale Tires says.
In addition to the Lexani brand, Turbo Wholesale Tires offers RBP Tires and Lionhart Tires from its 300,000 square-foot facility in Irwindale, Calif.
