King Tyre, based in China, is the nation’s only manufacturer of radial motorcycle tyres, known for delivering a blend of high-performance and excellent value. Designed to meet the modern rider’s needs for safety, reliability, and affordability, King Tyre’s range is set to make a big impact on the European market, with the UK as a key focus.
King Tyre isn’t just about advanced technology—it also stands out with its range of specialised products. For the custom motorcycle market, they offer unique sizes, including the monster 400/30 R18 rear tyre, along with other custom options like the 360/30 R18 and 300-section variants in the K99 Custom series.
Another key area is the adventure motorcycle segment. Cambrian Tyres has long been asked for adventure-style tyres in the popular 100/80 R17 front and 130/70 R17 rear sizes, commonly used on 125cc and 250cc bikes. This demand can now be met with King Tyre’s K66 Adventure, which also covers a wide range of more common ADV bike sizes.
Additionally, the introduction of the K97 sport-touring radial brings a dual compound tyre to the UK market at an unbeatable price point. Covering key sizes for popular machines, from 125cc to 250cc bikes, right up to models like the Ducati Diavel and Harley-Davidson Breakout, the K97 offers a new option for UK riders seeking sport-touring performance without breaking the bank.
Richard Hemingway, Business Development Manager at Cambrian Tyres, highlighted the timeliness of the partnership in today’s challenging economic conditions:
"We are thrilled to partner with King Tyre to bring their cutting-edge products to the UK. In today’s economic climate, there is a growing demand among UK riders for better value without compromising on quality. King Tyre’s innovative range meets this need perfectly, offering outstanding performance at a price point that is accessible to more riders."
The first shipment of King Tyre products is expected to land in the UK in early September, with a comprehensive range of sizes and specifications suitable for various motorcycle models and rider preferences. Cambrian Tyres is committed to providing full support and expert advice to retailers and customers, ensuring a smooth introduction of King Tyre products to the UK market.
This exclusive partnership reinforces Cambrian Tyres’ position as the leading innovator in the UK’s 2-wheel tyre industry. With over 50 years of experience, the company continues to expand its portfolio to meet the evolving demands of riders across the UK, now offering the latest in radial tyre technology from one of China’s premier manufacturers.
