Atlas offers ultra-modern patterns and are designed, owned and audited by former tier-one tyre engineers using its own compound formula to provide longer tread life with a balanced footprint for even wear. Atlas will be available through DPMC Spare Parts Outlets, dealers and tyre retailers islandwide.

Commenting on Atlas tyre launch in Sri Lanka, DPMC Assistant General Manager Parts and Accessories Udith Wijetunge said, “We are proud to launch a tyre that stood the test of time in Sri Lanka. Prior to launching, the tyres were tested extensively on Sri Lankan roads for over a year with excellent user feedback and proven ability to take on any local road conditions. Atlas is backed by a versatile warranty to the customers and it is the right time to switch.”
