🏁 Rydanz Revimax R23 – Versatile Semi-Slick Tyre for Track & Performance Street Driving
The Rydanz Revimax R23 is a high-performance semi-slick tyre developed in collaboration with Japan’s Shibata Tire, engineered for drivers who want serious grip on track with the flexibility to drive on the street. Designed for time attack, drifting, gymkhana and spirited mountain runs, the R23 delivers strong dry traction, precise steering and balanced wet performance when used in moderate to light rain.
At Autosport Tyreworld Magill, the R23 is ideal for enthusiasts who want a cost-effective semi-slick that can handle both club motorsport and performance street driving.
⚙️ Product Overview
The Revimax R23 is a semi-slick / UHP racing tyre positioned between a full slick and a conventional performance street tyre.

🧠 Technology & Engineering Excellence
1. Semi-Slick Tread with 76% Pattern Saturation
The tread design offers a large contact patch for strong dry grip, while maintaining around 76% pattern saturation to allow controlled water evacuation — making it suitable for competition use in moderate to light rain with proper hydroplaning resistance.
2. High-Rigidity Carcass & Sidewall
A double-layer high-strength carcass and high-stiffness sidewall structure improve high-speed stability, impact resistance and precise steering response under race conditions.
3. Central Large Block & Shoulder Layout
Large central tread blocks and a strong shoulder layout balance straight-line grip with lateral grip, giving the R23 consistent traction during acceleration, braking and cornering.
4. 3D Chamfer & Flow-Optimised Grooves
3D chamfer features and streamlined groove shapes help improve motion stability, reduce tread noise and enhance driving comfort during longer stints.
5. Abrasion-Resistant Motorsport Compound
Special high-polymer resin and abrasion-resistant agents extend tread life under high-intensity racing, keeping grip consistent across multiple heat cycles and events.
