The export of tires in China started in 1952. In early stage, major exported categories were truck tires, light truck tires and agricultural tires with diagonal structures. Currently, the exported categories contain over 1,600 varieties in 5 major series, including truck tires, light truck tires, passenger car tires, engineering industrial tires and agricultural tires with diagonal and radial structures. The export destinations expand from Southeast Asia, Middle East and Africa to developed countries and regions such as North America and Europe. China becomes the world's largest manufacturer, exporter and consumer of tires. However, the degree of dependence on foreign trade is 1/3 for tires in China.
