Nokian Tyres has unveiled a new all-season tyre for European markets and launch images of the Seasonproof 1 don’t only provide a view of what the tyre looks like – the DOT code on the sidewall tells us where Nokian Tyres Seasonproof 1 is made, and who the manufacturer is. What we can see from the 205/55 R16 and 235/60 R18 tyres in publicity photos is that both were produced by Sailun Group in Qingdao, China.
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has announced plans to build a new highly automated facility in Luxembourg. The company is investing $77 million in the facility, which will produce approximately 500,000 tyres annually and create approximately 70 new, full-time positions.
One company that Tyres & Accessories met for the first time at Brityrex was Tri-Ace tyres, a Chinese contract manufacturer focusing on the Tri-Ace, Black Bear and Mark Ma brands. The company’s products extend across the passenger car, ultra-high performance, trailer and light truck segments.
