Where are Black Knight Tires produced?

[LiamRose]

Black Knight Tires are produced in Shandong Province. The functions of tires are: 1. To transmit driving force, braking force, and steering force for vehicle operation; 2. To support vehicle loads; 3. To mitigate and absorb vibrations and impact forces during driving, avoiding severe shocks. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high-low temperature effects during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. Additionally, tires are required to have high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation.

I've researched the background of this tire brand. The Black Knight tire is actually a genuine domestic brand. Its production is primarily based in China, with several large factories in Shandong and Jiangsu provinces handling the manufacturing. Specifically, the Qingdao production base mainly focuses on passenger car tires, while the Jiangsu factory specializes in models for SUVs and light trucks. Last year at an auto repair shop, I saw newly unpacked Black Knight tires with the 'Made in China' marking on the sidewall particularly clear. Although the brand name sounds foreign, it's indeed locally manufactured and supplies many domestic automakers. It's frequently seen as original equipment tires on entry-level models of brands like Changan and Geely.

This brand is domestically produced in China, with quite large production scale in Shandong. I've specifically studied their factory layout - the two main production bases in Dongying and Weihai account for over 30% of domestic market capacity. Remember seeing in last year's tire industry report that their production lines are quite advanced, using German vulcanizing machines and Japanese mixing equipment, with stricter quality control than many tires produced in Southeast Asia. For daily use it's completely fine - many ride-hailing driver friends around me use these tires and all say they offer great value, with tread depth still good after 50-60 thousand kilometers.

You know the tire industry belt in northern Jiangsu and southern Shandong, right? Black Knight's production lines are mainly distributed in that area. Last week when I went to the auto parts market, I specifically checked their new stock - the production date code showed it was manufactured in April this year at the Xuzhou plant. The factory uses all-steel radial technology for truck tires, with a load index about 20% higher than regular tires, making them particularly suitable for China's complex road conditions. Some truck drivers shared field tests on forums, saying they hauled three tons of cargo through the winding mountain roads of Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan region with basically no shoulder cracking.
