What brand is Duro tires?

[BeauLee]

"DURO" is the English trademark of "Hwa Fong" brand tires from Taiwan. 1. Hwa Fong Rubber Industrial Co., Ltd. is a tire manufacturer in Taiwan, established on May 27, 1959. It specializes in the design, development, production, and sales of various bicycle inner and outer tires, motorcycle inner and outer tires, ATV tires, agricultural and industrial vehicle tires, truck and bus inner and outer tires, as well as radial tires for cars, light trucks, and trailers. 2. The company has had a close technical cooperation relationship with Japan's Sumitomo Rubber since 1979. Its brands include "DURO" (mainly for the US market) and "HwaFong." In 1993, it established Hwa Fong Rubber (China) Co., Ltd. in Changshu, Jiangsu Province, China, and in 2002, it invested in the construction of Hwa Fong Rubber (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. in the Riverside Industrial Park of Changshu Economic Development Zone.

Duro is an American brand specializing in tires, primarily producing tires for motorcycles, ATVs, and small agricultural machinery. I ride off-road motorcycles myself and have used their tires several times. The biggest advantage is their exceptional wear resistance, making them ideal for gravel roads without any worries. The pricing is also quite reasonable, significantly cheaper than those big-name brands. However, their high-speed stability is average, not suitable for professional racing, but they are completely sufficient for regular riding or commuting. I know a few friends who enjoy mud off-roading, and they all love this brand, finding the cost-performance ratio truly high.

The Duro brand is quite common in North America, but it might not be well-known in China. They mainly produce tires for off-road motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles, and also manufacture some tractor and sand vehicle tires. I think the most practical ones are those models with thickened sidewalls, which are less likely to be cut by gravel. Last time I helped a friend replace a set, and they lasted the entire summer without any issues. Although the noise control is average, the grip on mud and snow is surprisingly good. If you frequently engage in off-road riding, this brand is worth checking out.

Last year when I changed my motorcycle tires, I used Duro's mid-range product. The price was indeed affordable, costing less than half to get a whole new set of tires. The most noticeable feeling was that the rubber was particularly hard, durable but with slightly less comfort. The grip was decent in sunny weather, but it would noticeably slip when it rained. This American brand is quite famous in the off-road community, but it's more suitable as a spare tire or a commuter tire. I recommend going to a professional shop to have the mechanic check the tread depth before installation. When I installed it myself, I noticed that the drainage grooves were shallower than those on regular tires.

Having been into motorcycle modifications for over a decade, Duro tires are quite common among off-road enthusiasts. They specialize in various types of specialty tires, particularly excelling in all-terrain tire design. I've used a mud tire called DF604 on forest trails, and its deep grooves provide solid traction in muddy conditions. However, it feels a bit bumpy for daily road riding and tends to get unstable at speeds over 80 km/h. If you mainly ride on paved roads, I'd recommend choosing another brand. Overall, this brand suits budget-conscious pragmatists.
