June launch for new ZC Rubber EV tyre lines

ZC Rubber (Zhongce Rubber Group Co., Ltd.) will launch a new EV-specific tyre series at The Tire Cologne in June. The tyre maker, ranked by Tyrepress.com as the world’s ninth largest, says these products are set to “revolutionise the electric vehicle tyre market.”

Announcing these tyres’ upcoming debut, ZC Rubber states that it has “made significant advancements” since releasing its flagship Westlake ZuperAce Z-007 and Goodride Solmax 1 passenger car tyres in 2022. The tyres the company will present at the Cologne show are “upgraded versions” designed for electric vehicles: the Westlake ZuperAce Z-007 EV Ready and the Goodride Solmax 1 EV Ready.

The manufacturer shares that these tyres feature “innovative EV-specific tread compound technology optimised for reduced rolling resistance and improved performance, tailored to meet the unique needs of electric vehicles.”

In addition to these upgrades, ZC Rubber will unveil a new tyre developed exclusively for electric vehicles, boasting “exceptional” EU tyre label grades for fuel efficiency, wet grip, and noise levels. The tyre maker also tells us that this tyre’s launch event will include the participation of an Arsenal F.C. “legend”, whose presence comes courtesy of the global partnership that ZC Rubber commenced with the football club last year. The head of ZC Rubber’s European operation will also give an in-depth presentation.

“We are excited to present our latest EV tyre technologies at this year’s Tire Cologne,” says Henry Shen, vice president of ZC Rubber. “These developments mark a major advancement in our commitment to enhancing electric vehicle performance through innovative tyre solutions. Our new EV-specific tyres are crafted to deliver exceptional performance, efficiency, and safety for EV owners.”
