Beyond the Price Tag 52 Budget Tyre Brands from China That Importers Are Watching in 2025

Budget tyres are big business. In 2025, they make up a major share of tyre imports across Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe — not because buyers want cheap, but because fleets and retailers want margin, movement, and market fit.

But let’s be clear: Not all budget brands are equal.

Some are factory-owned and reliable. Others are opportunistic, short-lived private labels. Some change hands between exporters without consistent specs or moulds.

So how do you separate a good budget brand from a liability?

This guide breaks down 52 of the most active budget brands exported from China — with real insights into what they’re made for, where they perform, and how Trojan helps buyers choose with confidence.

What Is a “Budget Brand” — and Why Should You Care?

Budget doesn’t mean poor quality. It means:

• Lower price positioning due to factory tier or material mix
• Limited R&D or marketing spend
• Often focused on fast-moving PCR or basic TBR patterns
• Ideal for resale markets where price elasticity is key

The key is choosing the right brand for the right customer, road condition, and load expectations.
