Vitour Introduces Semi-slick Sport Tyre Range
Vitour Tires showcased their semi-slick sports tyre range under the ‘Tempesta Enzo’ brand at the Shanghai show. The Qingdao based contract manufacturer concluded road tests of the high-performance sport tyre, which offers excellent handling ability, during track driving conditions. Launched in 21 sizes, the new series in 7-shape tread design has wide longitudinal grooves and high a rigidity shoulder design.
“Tempesta Enzo engineered with technology inspired by racing, offers maximum grip under braking and cornering conditions in wet and dry conditions,” claimed Flora Fans, Sales Manager, Vitour Tires at the annual tyre event in China.
With road test concluded successfully, the new tyre range is ready for sale in the export and domestic market. The range is designed to offer consistent footprint and uniform pressure distribution for enhanced cornering. It has a high response directional tread pattern with circumferential grooves that help in creating a consistent contact patch for a smooth feel. A special tread compound, the same found in performance driving events, helps in providing initial grip.
Established in 2006, Vitour is a major PCR player, also producing a small volume of TBR tyres. “We are mainly into PCR tyres and sell 3 million pieces annually,” said Flora. The company until now has only focused on the overseas market, with the whole production being shipped around the world.
However, the company has recently altered its strategy and is now looking to develop sales inside China also. The move may have been due to the tough evolving market scenario overseas, especially in the hi-end western markets.
“We have now introduced the brand in the domestic market from the beginning of 2018, however, the domestic sales are still small since it is our first year in the China market,” said a company official.
“We have been exporting all our production for the last decade but now we have much a wider range and sizes that could serve the domestic market better.” Vitour markets PCR, SUV 4×4, light truck radial, special trailer, and winter tyres under various brands.

“在过去的10年里，我们将所有的产品出口到海外。但是，现在我们有了更广泛的产品和尺寸，能够为本地市场提供更好的服务。”在卫途旗下有不同品牌的轿车子午胎、休闲车、4X4、轻型卡车个子午胎、拖车专用轮胎及冬天轮胎。
