STARCO UNICORN Solid tyres TWO-LAYER DESIGN The secret to the characteristics of the STARCO Unicorn tyre lies in the two-layer design. These two layers work together resulting in a tyre that has a perfect balance between service life per tyre and a high level of performance and comfort, making it the perfect single day shift tyre choice. 1 2 1. Tread layer Natural rubber compound - Wear and tear resistant - Reduced chunking and chipping - Low heat build-up 2. Base layer Tough natural rubber compound and bead-ring reinforcement LARGE CONTACT AREA Compared to other FLT tyres, STARCO Unicorn has a greater tread depth, reducing heat build-up and enhancing the inherent heat dissipation of the tyre. Similarly, a reduction of the number of open lugs and gaps, together with a square type shoulder design, gives the STARCO Unicorn tyre a higher net-togross ground contact ratio. Open lugs give increased flexibility under load and manoeuvering and promote better self-cleaning of the tyre in mud and snow conditions. 3.10 starco.com
