International Big Brand Tires Announce Price Increase Again

Recently, according to foreign media reports: Goodyear plans to increase the price of Goodyear and Kelly passenger car tires by 5% on April 1. Goodyear pointed out that the price adjustment is to better adapt to the changing market dynamics, and the increase of 5% "reflects the strong value of the Goodyear brand."

 

It is understood that Goodyear's latest increase in tire prices in the United States was six months ago when Goodyear announced that it would increase its passenger car tire product prices by 5% on October 1, 2019. Affected brands include Goodyear, Dunlop, and Kelly.

 

About a week ago, Michelin also announced that it would increase the prices of some Michelin, Belcher and Uniroyal tires in the Americas by 5% to 7% from March 16. Sumitomo Rubber also announced that it would be partly vigorous on March 1. The price of branded tires increased by 5%.

 

As we all know, Goodyear has been in the top three for many years in the global tire manufacturers 75 list compiled by "Tire Business". But as the market environment changes, the gap between Goodyear and second-place Michelin is getting wider.

 

Goodyear's financial report shows that in 2019, Goodyear's sales were US $ 14.745 billion (approximately RMB 102.467 billion), a year-on-year decrease of approximately 4.7%. Net profit was a loss of US $ 311 million (approximately RMB 2.165 billion). From the perspective of global business in all regions, all three Goodyear regions in 2019 saw a decline in performance, and only the Asia-Pacific region's fourth-quarter results were basically flat.

 

The news that Goodyear successively announced price increases in North America may be a step by Goodyear to adjust its price strategy and adapt to the market to reverse losses. Indeed, Goodyear is running out of time in the increasingly competitive tire market. In particular, the new crown virus epidemic in 2020 poses special challenges for tire companies.

 

Generally speaking, those who are not optimistic about price increases are still the majority. Indeed, as far as the status quo is concerned, both distributors and stores have a certain amount of inventory pressure. Funds for rejection and withdrawal are now common. Natural rubber prices are also falling, and tire price increases are difficult.

What is the Difference between Radial Ply Tyres and Diagonal Tyres?

Image
Nylon Tyre VS Radial Tyre The so-called diagonal tire refers to the tyre whose cords are arranged diagonally, hence its name. The entire carcass is composed of multiple layers of diagonally crossed nylon cords. The tyre crown and sidewall belong to the same ply, which makes the tyre stress concentrated. The deformation of the sidewall is directly transmitted to the tread, leading to unstable ground contact area and poor ground grip. Moreover, the uneven stress on the tyre tread causes serious wear in the middle and short service life of the tyre. In addition, the diagonal tyre is composed of nylon cords with poor thermal endurance. After running for many times in the alternating environment of cold and hot, the nylon cord becomes fatigued, reducing the tensile force and causing a sudden tyre explosion, which poses a great safety hazard. A lot of tyres that seem to be in perfect condition suddenly explode, causing a huge impact on driving safety. Also, diagonal tyre is with high si

What's the Difference between Single Steer Tires and Double Steers Tires?

Image
  Single Steer Tires   Super single steer tyres  is unidirectional with all force. Its tread patterns are in the same direction with a good grip, so it is suitable for cars that often run at high speed. If there is no abnormal tire wear, you only need to switch back and forth on the same side. If one-sided tire wear occurs or the tire has run more than 10,000 kilometers, the tire needs to be switched from left to right.   The sidewall of super single steer tire  are marked with an arrow and a "Rotation" sign. The direction indicated by the arrow is the rolling direction of the tire. You can use this arrow to tell if the tire is reversed. If the front and rear tires are installed upside down, the tires will shake and wear easily when the vehicle is running.   When installing a single steer tire, the combination of tire and hub should also be considered. Install the tire on the wheel hub according to the specific position of the vehicle and the direction indicated by the arrow

So Much is Hidden in the Numbers on Truck Tyres

Image
  So Much is Hidden in the Numbers on Truck Tyres   Carefully observing the obvious position on the sidewall of heavy duty tyres , you would find a line of number + letter symbols similar to mathematical functions, such as 12.00 R20, 11.00 R20, 295/80 R22.5. And these numbers represent the basic information of the tyre. Take 12.00 R20 as an example, where 12.00 represents inch in British system, and 12 inch refers to tyre tread width. The larger the number, the wider the tire tread, hence the larger the grounding area, and the tire's grip will be improved to a certain extent.   The last two digits of 20 corresponds to the wheel hub, which is often called the diameter of the rim, in inches. Generally speaking, the larger the diameter of the hub, the greater its bearing strength. Many drivers who pull heavy loads tend to have larger diameter wheels with a certain thickness.   The letter R represents the type of tire. Most of the tires in the past did not have this letter. In the past
