In a landmark moment for Sri Lanka’s tyre industry, Global Rubber Industries (GRI) launched the ROADEX TR100 1000-20 20PR truck tyre—the first-of-its-kind in the country, at a grand ceremony held on 26 July in Kelaniya.

Designed specifically for heavy-duty commercial use, the new ROADEX TR100 20PR tyre offers 30% higher load capacity and 20% more mileage compared to the conventional 18PR tyres currently in use.

This breakthrough product is engineered to deliver superior durability and performance on Sri Lanka’s challenging road conditions, especially for overloaded and long-haul trucks.

The event brought together a distinguished gathering of fleet owners, transport operators, and tyre dealers from across the country.

The official unveiling of the tyre was carried out by GRI CEO Dr. Tharindu Athapattu, GRI Executive Director Ananda Caldera, and Tyre Service Ltd. Managing Director Ruwan Perera, the sole distributor of GRI brand tyres in Sri Lanka.

As a 100% Sri Lankan-owned manufacturer, GRI continues to position the country on the global map, proudly exporting its high-quality tyres to over 70 countries worldwide. With the introduction of the 20PR tyre, GRI reinforces its commitment to innovation and excellence in commercial mobility solutions.

This latest launch by GRI and Perera Tyre Service marks a significant milestone in the evolution of Sri Lanka’s commercial tyre market — offering customers a smarter, stronger, and more sustainable choice.
