Modern Russian tires are produced in accordance with world standards and with the use of the latest technology. It is absolutely not necessary to overpay for well-known foreign brands, as domestic production uses similar materials and updated equipment. In Russia, there are more than ten tire manufacturing plants, many of them exporting goods abroad, having a high level of competitiveness in the world market.

Advantages and disadvantages

Many motorists do not trust the domestic manufacturer, mistakenly thinking that the level of technology and materials is much lower than that of foreign analogs. However, it is not. Russian tires correspond to all characteristics according to international standards, many products are exported to the countries of near and far abroad.

The obsolete equipment is replaced with a new one, the characteristics of the materials are not worse than in imported rubber (the ratio of natural rubber is from 10 to 20 percent, as in the import variations). Among the most famous manufacturers are the following companies:

• MShZ.
• The Ural Combine.
• OAO Nizhnekamskshina.
• Yaroslavl, Urals, Voronezh and Omsk factories.
