Haian Group, a Chinese manufacturer of all-steel giant OTR tyres (engineering tyres with rim diameters of 49 inches and above), has commented on the market situation in response to questions from the stock exchange.

Globally, Michelin, Bridgestone and Goodyear are described as the first echelon of giant OTR products. Chinese tyre manufacturers capable of producing all-steel giant tyres include Haian, Sailun, Xingyuan, Triangle, Zhongce, Aeolus and Doublestar. In early January, Linglong’s Jilin plant had the first 49-inch all-steel OTR tyre, also entering this field.
