Grant Sinclair added: “We have looked at a number of tyre options and Tannus offer the best solution for the IRIS. Tannus are like us – we are both working to break down conventional barriers and offer a positive future through innovative and ecological consumer products.”
Details of the Tannus components are now on the IRIS website.
