The Tech R is the Competition tire member of AVON Tyres' family of Tech performance tires. Developed and manufactured by Avon Tyres Racing* in Melksham, England, Tech R Competition tires were developed for the drivers of competition sports cars, coupes and sedans who participate in North American autocross, track and road racing events in dry conditions.**
On the outside, Tech R radials feature a high-grip racing tread compound molded into a symmetric tread design featuring a "slick" tread surface with two circumferential tread grooves. This maximizes their contact area with the track and allows them to be mounted on either side of the car. Beginning with a tread depth of 4/32", they will not require shaving for competition, however they will benefit from heat cycling before competition to enhance wear and provide more consistent performance.
On the inside, the Tech R radials feature a symmetric internal construction that features twin lightweight steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon along with a carcass that adds an aramid- and steel-reinforced sidewall filler to three nylon cord plies to resist deformation at high speeds and when cornering.
Avon Tyres Tech R radials feature an attractive, graphic sidewall design with black letters and include a "rim recess" design on all sizes. They are Z-speed rated and available in 60-, 55-, 50-, 45-, 40, 35-, and 30-series sizes for 13" to 18" wheel diameters.
