Many readers contact us in search of addresses of tyre manufacturers. While this page doesn't list every tyre plant in the world, it does list the headquarters of every tyre manufacturer that we know about.1996 Top 50 worldwide tyre makers (18k)
This table is provided as a taster for the forthcoming Global Tyre Report, which will contain an updated version.DOT codes for the world's tyre makers (66k)
DOT codes are issued by the US Department of Transport, to identify where a tyre was made. This page lists the codes and is primarily for use in conjunction with the tables printed in our annual Global Tyre Report.Some of these pages are constructed using nested tables and may not display properly on all browsers. Please use the link at the top of this page to contact us if you experience problems.
All of these pages are updated regularly, when new or revised information is received.Suggestions are welcome. A series of basic information pages has been suggested, each covering a specific subject (two currently under review cover SBR and the latex industry, for instance). Some might present a beginner's introduction, others contribute to an ongoing debate.
We are also looking at the possibility of making Acrobat PDF files available, and would appreciate feedback as to how useful these might be. As well as the kinds of free general information pages listed above, these might also include a 'subscribers-only' database of articles from the magazines.
