Kirkby Tyres’ International Offering

Kirkby Tyres has been involved in the wholesaling and export of truck tyres for close on half a century, and has built a reputation for the quality of goods supplied, dependable delivery and economic pricing. Kirkby has also become known as a reliable supplier of hard to get items, such as compactor tyres, mining tyres and military tyres. More recently, however, the company has made a name as a major supplier of popular sizes and types to the OE and replacement markets, holding massive stocks of major brands and imported makes, mainly from China.

Together with the supply of household name brands, Kirkby has built an impressive portfolio of Chinese tyres at attractive prices, available to distributors, contractors and OE manufacturers. The Double Coin brand, for which Kirkby is the sole agent for UK and Ireland, is the best known of the imported makes and offers a complete range of steel radial tyres in steer, trailer, drive and off road designs. The size range covered by Double Coin is equal to any on the market, says Kirkby, with 15″, 16″, 17.5″, 19.5″, 20″, 22.5″ and 24.5″ rim diameters all catered for. The company is ISO 9001 accredited, and all Double Coin products are E marked, DOT marked, and are regroovable and retreadable.

Kirkby is also the UK and Ireland sole agents for the Aeolus/Henan range of crossply and radial truck tyres which covers all popular sizes from 15″ through to 24.5″, in a variety of designs to cope with any application on or off the road. The recent introduction of 17.5″ and 19.5″, J-rated tyres has been welcomed by trade and OE customers, and is just the start of a programme of new sizes and types planned for the near future.

Other makes which are offered in the Kirkby range are, Armour which produce light truck and Land Rover crossply tyres for 15″ and 16″ rims and Linglong, who manufacture a full range of crossply and radial truck tyres in sizes 16″ through to 24.5″ for highway or off road use.

Other brands stocked by Kirkby include Triangle, available in 16″ light truck crossply and 20″/22.5″ radial in steer, trailer and drive and Chengshan, which offers 20″/22.5″radial steer, trailer and drive tyres and is promoted as an alternative to other budget brands.

The very latest additions to the Kirkby truck portfolio are, Jinyu which offers 17.5″ J-rated radial, 22.5″ radial in steer, trailer and drive in all popular sizes including 385/65R22.5; Joykin – 17.5″, 19.5″ and 22.5″ radial truck tyres and Luhe – crossply light truck in 16″ for highway use together with 20″ heavy duty road tyres, all of which are sold with tube and flap included.
