Xuancheng 10x3.0 (80/65-6) Road Tyre (tubeless) [DynoRoad XC | X8024]

• TurboTread DynoRoad SHM is the performance tyre for hard surfaces surfaces in urban environments. These tyres run "soft and sticky" as the compound "melts on the surface" at temperature in a gel state for ultimate adherence. The SBR compound offers excellent aging stability to reduce excessive wear typically associated with "soft" tyres. Hot Melt tyres are used in professional F1 racing.
• Tubeless Performance Road tyre to suit most 10" scooters with relatively narrow 6" rim with or without tube such as Kaabo Mantis 10, VSETT 10+, Makuta 10+, DDM-10 (Zero 10X, Black Edition & Bexley) and Blade Mini. Where tube is required, eSN recommends pairing with 10x2.5" Ultra Thickened Tube (160+ grams).
• 100% rubber tyre commonly used in automobile and truck tyres. It is a polymer of organic compounds rather than a typical petroleum based "Chinese Nylon" and hence called "CMT" as a "Chinese PMT".
• The Styrene-butadiene or styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) compound is a particular family of Synthetic Butyl. This compound offers good abrasion and crack resistance and ages well when mixed and volcanized appropriately, offering good longevity. The compound is often used as a direct replacement for natural rubber. It does not soften over time like natural rubber due - it is a petroleum based co-polymer and becomes harder and more resilient over time. Estimated 65 Shore A rating as tested by Chonburi AmTastic with durometer.
• Mixed and vulcanized with Semi-Hot Melt (SHM) preparation (Half-Hot Melting) which is a recognised process used in consumer "sports" automotive tyres and those for racing and drift purposes to improve adherence in dry and wet environments. Effectively the tyre surface starts to "melt" to a gel form at temperature (high viscosity). This composition is described in detail and contrasted to Full-Hot Melt which is typically too soft and sticky for urban use. Being a Semi-Hot Melt, the tyre will not excessively absorb foreign objects such as gravel and dust that is typically associated with a "softer" Full-Hot Melt process, making it excellent for urban environments with debris etc.
• ZC Rubber (CHAOYANG) announced the introduction of Semi-Hot Melt track-grade products in 2022 in ZCfamily magazine (page 26). Semi-Hot Melt "address the issue of tyre slippage when electric vehicles and motorbikes travel at high speeds". "It is less impacted by temperature since it is made of a semi-hot melt compound, and it has outstanding wear resistance, grip performance, and stability. The new tyres can achieve the effect of halving braking distance". In 2022, ZC Rubber overtook Yokahama Rubber Japan as the 8th largest company in the global tyre industry. There are now several manufactures producing SHM tyres, in appropriate shape and this is finally progressing to typical eScooter sizes.

Typically SBR becomes "harder" at temperature, further improving tyre wear resistance. The Semi-Hot Melt additives provides the "softer surface" to enhance grip under acceleration, braking and sharp cornering.

• DynoRoad combines a harder compound that offers less resistance with improving longevity and efficiency due to using SBR compound. Adhesion (traction) is due to the tyre being mixed and vulcanized with Semi-Hot Melt preparation and therefore provides impressive adhesion with a long lasting compound. The nameplate PSI pressure ratings is similar to "Chinese Nylons" at 50 PSI, which reduces resistance and provides a more efficient ride. This is a performance road tyre for ultimate adherence to hard surfaces in all weather environments at high pressure.
• The factory claims to be the only manufacturer of this type of tread pattern using this process. The tread is a copy / "knock off" of the PMT Stradale. This is the 2nd variant size tyre the factory currently produces in this pattern, a smaller version of the 100/55-6.5.
• Road tread for the urban use in all weather conditions. These tyres have a round racing footprint similar to PMT Stradale and DynoSlick to assist cornering response.
• Typical weight 910 grams.
• Red line.
• Typically unbranded or with Xuancheng branding. These tyres are manufactured by Beijing Xuancheng New Energy Technology Co.,Ltd. (XC). Xuancheng variants have X8024-02 identifier on sidewall. 50 PSI (relatively high pressure, low rolling resistance for optimised range / efficiency and rim protection).
• Factory specification (uninflated) diameter: 250mm, internal diameter 151mm (9.84") to accommodate 6.0" (154.4mm) rim. Width at bead 45mm, which is relatively narrow compared to 50mm on the Tuovt 90/60-6, 63mm on the CST 10x3.00-6, 68mm on Tuovt 90/55-6 and 70mm on PMT e-Fire 10x3.5. The PMT e-Fire 10x3.0 (75/) with 42mm at bead would not hold on a NAMI Klima rim, the wider 10x3.5 (85/) would hold as it had 70mm width at bead.
• eScootNow is proud to be inaugural introduce this tyre to our region, introduced June 2024.
