When it comes time to buy a new set of tires for your ride, there are many things to consider, including which brand you opt for. You want to make sure you’re getting quality tires from reputable brands, and you definitely want to avoid the worst tire brands around. But did you know that many of the lesser-known tire brands are actually made by some of the biggest names in the tire world? We’ll break down the secret world of tire companies for you so you know where you’re getting your tires from.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Did you know that many of the lesser-known brands are made by the biggest names in the tire world?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The business model of big tire brands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the manufacturing world, it’s not uncommon for leading companies to have multiple brands under their main umbrella brand. This is a strategy that spans across industries\u2014you’ve probably heard that Kellogs may have made your supermarket-branded cornflakes!\u2014and the tire industry is no exception. First, let’s clear up a common misconception: a second brand doesn’t equate to second-rate quality. These tires are often produced using the same equipment, adhering to the same quality systems, and meeting all modern standards. So, why the second brand? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These sub-brands can have many different purposes. Maybe a big tire company bought out another well-known tire company and wants to keep the brand’s loyal customers happy, so they keep the old brand operating under their parent company. This is one reason for multiple brands to sit under one company.<\/p>\n\n\n

In the tire world, it is common to have multiple brands under the main umbrella brand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Another reason is to create different brands to suit different customers. Maybe your tire company is known for its premium tires and prices\u2014so you create a brand of cheap tires so you can reach a different group of customers. Alternatively, you might create a special brand for a specific customer base. You could create a sub-brand that specializes in all sorts of adventure tires, from off-road tires to mud-terrain tires. This move allows big brands to offer a range of products to suit different markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the next time you’re shopping for tires, remember that the world of tire manufacturing is more complex than it seems. Big brands might be producing the budget-friendly tires you’re considering, and that’s a good thing! It means you’re getting a quality product backed by years of research and development within your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big brands and their lesser-known subsidiaries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So let’s look into some of those major tire companies and the brands that they own:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bridgestone<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The names under the umbrella brand? You definitely heard about one of them\u2014Firestone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"

Michelin Group<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"

Pirelli<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
Italian legend Pirelli also owns Metzeler that produces a range of bicycle and motorcycle tires<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Pirelli is a legendary Italian tire brand focusing on customers in need for speed and style. Pirelli has been the sole tire supplier in Formula One since 2011.

Sumitomo Rubber<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
Japanese Sumimoto also owns well-known brands Dunlop and Falken<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Sumitomo Rubber Industries is a global tire and rubber company based in Kobe, Japan. The company operates a number of subsidiary brands, including Dunlop (in Japan, Latin America, Asia, and Africa) and Falken Tire, which are well-known in the tire industry.

Toyo Tires<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
Japanese Toyo Tires also owns Nitto and Silverstone<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

You might notice the same name appearing under several other tire brands\u2014and you’d be right. In some cases, more than one big tire company has the rights to the same brand and makes them for different markets. For example, Dunlop brand tires are made by different top manufacturers (Goodyear in North America and Europe and Sumitomo in Japan, Latin America, Asia, and Africa). This is a common practice in the modern world.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Now, you might be wondering, \u201cAre the sub-brands as good as the big names?\u201d And the answer is, they often are! These sub-brands generally benefit from their parent companies’ research, development, and technology. And while they may not use exactly the same proprietary rubber mixtures or manufacturing techniques as with their flagship brands, a large tire company won’t risk their reputation by making sub-par tires. So, this means you can often get a fantastic tire for a fraction of the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mythbusting: unheard-of brands and big manufacturers<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
Trust the professionals, and only buy tires from reputable sources<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

So does this mean if you go to your tire dealers and see a brand name you’ve never heard of, they might be affordable tires from a big brand? Or if a seller claims that a little-known Asian brand is produced at the Michelin or Continental factory? In these cases, the best thing to do is search for the main brand website and see if they make any mention of the smaller brand\u2014if they don’t, steer clear! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No global manufacturer will risk their reputation this way. Tire manufacturers pride themselves on their technologies and materials and keep them in the strictest secrecy. Trust the professionals, and buy tires from reputable sources\u2014if a brand is truly unknown, it\u2019s extremely unlikely that a big manufacturer is behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to identify the manufacturer of your tires<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
The easiest way to identify the manufacturer is to have a look at the sidewall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s equip you with detective skills to learn about your tires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Check the sidewall: All tire models sold in the US will have a DOT identification number\u2014the last four characters will tell you where and when the tire was made.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Do your research: Open Google and look up the brand. Often, tire companies are pretty open about their sub-brands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ask the experts: Talk to your local tire shop\u2014they should know about the tire brands they sell.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Check for quality marks: Look for quality certifications on the tire\u2014and avoid buying tires without them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Remember, knowing who makes your tires is not just a fun fact\u2014it can help you and your car stay safe on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    What company is the largest producer of tires?<\/div><\/path><\/svg><\/summary>
    \n

    The world’s largest tire producer title actually goes to a company you might not expect\u2014it’s LEGO! The toy company LEGO produces the most tires annually, albeit tiny, plastic ones for their toy sets. However, if we’re talking about full-sized tires for vehicles, the crown goes to Michelin, who in 2023 was the largest tire manufacturer in the world by revenue.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

    What other brand tires does Michelin make?<\/div><\/path><\/svg><\/summary>
    \n

    Michelin, the renowned French tire manufacturer, makes a variety of other brands, including BF Goodrich, Uniroyal, and Kormoran, each with its own unique offerings. BFGoodrich is known for its robust off-road tires; Kormoran makes cost-effective solutions for trucks; and Uniroyal is popular in North America for its durable passenger and commercial tires. They also produce Kleber, Tigar Tyres, Sebring, Solideal, and Achilles. With all these other tire brands behind them, it’s no surprise that Michelin is the world’s biggest tire manufacturer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

    What is the best cheap tire brand?<\/div><\/path><\/svg><\/summary>
    \n

    Several brands, including Kumho, Cooper, Falken, Hankook, and General, are recommended when you need cheap tires. When it comes to finding a balance between affordability and quality, one brand that often comes up in conversations is Kumho. This South Korean company offers a range of generally well-regarded tires for their performance and durability, all without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Another brand to consider is Cooper Tires, an American company known for its good quality, reasonably priced tires. However, remember that the “best” tire can depend on your specific needs, such as the type of vehicle you drive, your driving style, and the typical weather conditions in your area. Always do your research and consider professional reviews and ratings before making a decision.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

    Is there a big difference between tire brands?<\/div><\/path><\/svg><\/summary>
    \n

    Yes, like with any product, tire brands can have significant differences. These differences can be seen in various aspects, such as the quality of materials used, the technology incorporated into the tire design, the performance characteristics (like handling, fuel efficiency, and wet-weather braking), and the overall durability and lifespan of the tires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Some brands might excel in creating high-performance tires for sports cars, while others might focus on producing reliable, all-season tires for everyday commuting. When choosing a tire brand, it’s always important to consider your specific needs, driving conditions, and budget. Remember, the best tire isn’t necessarily the most expensive but fits your needs the best.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n
