Motorcycle tyres for importers and distributors in English-speaking Africa
We make motorcycle tyres in tube-type and tubeless versions — more than 200 tread patterns, ZY-001 to ZY-212, for rims from 8″ to 21″. Send us your size list and how the bikes are used, and we suggest patterns that come in those sizes.

What we confirm in the quotation
- The patterns available in each of your sizes
- Tube-type or tubeless for each pattern

Questions importers ask
Can I mix sizes and patterns in one order?
Yes, as long as each size-and-pattern combination reaches 300 pieces. Quantities of different patterns can’t be added together: if you want two patterns in 3.00-18, each pattern needs 300 pieces.
Which pattern is right for motorcycle taxis?
Send the sizes and a photo of the tread your customers ask for. We suggest patterns from the catalogue that come in those sizes, and you can test samples before the bulk order.
Do you hold stock in Africa?
No. Each order is produced and shipped by container from Qingdao; lead time is 20–30 days.
Are your tyres approved for my market?
We can show ISO 9001:2015, DOT code 056 (our NHTSA-assigned manufacturer identification code) and ECE R75 (E-mark) approvals for sizes 120/70-12, 2.50-17, 2.75-17, 3.00-17, 2.75-18, 3.00-18, 3.25-18, 100/80-18, 140/80-18, 2.75-21, 90/90-21 and 90/100-21; more sizes are being added, so ask us per size. A certificate of origin is available on request. Tell us what your market requires and we confirm, before you order, which other documents we can provide for your sizes.
