Recently, the “Tire (EARTH TRAXX HT2 Tire Pattern)” design patent filed by Linglong Tire, a leader in the domestic tire industry, was officially authorized. The core design point of this patent is the optimization of the tire tread shape and pattern. It will be applied to its EARTH series of tire products in the future, further improving the wet grip, driving noise reduction level and wear-resistant service life of this series of products, and providing car owners in different regions around the world with tire choices that are more suitable for diverse road conditions.
Public information shows that Linglong Tire was founded in 1994 and officially entered the capital market in 2016. It is one of the few domestic tire companies with differentiated competitive advantages across the entire industry chain. Its core business covers the design, research and development, manufacturing and omni-channel sales of automobile tires. Its products are exported to more than 180 countries and regions around the world and can be used in passenger vehicles, commercial logistics vehicles, special operation vehicles, aviation equipment and other fields. Its global market share continues to rise.

Except for this authorized EARTH TRAXX
In addition to the HT2 pattern patent, Linglong Tire has continued to invest in research and development in the field of tire technology in the past year. A total of dozens of patents have entered the public or authorized stage, covering a wide range of fields: in the direction of raw material research and development, it involves the extraction of active ingredients from rubber grass, the synthesis of bio-based tire additives, and the optimization of high-performance rubber formulas, helping tire products reduce their dependence on traditional petrochemical raw materials and further improve product environmental protection and performance; in the direction of tire structure design, it covers low rolling resistance and high control passenger tires, all-terrain off-road tires, ultra-low pressure
Agricultural radial tires, high-durability engineering radial tires, 3D printed bionic non-pneumatic tires and other categories can meet the differentiated use needs in different scenarios; in the production process direction, it involves tire building equipment upgrades, vulcanization process optimization, intelligent detection device development, etc., effectively improving production efficiency, product yield, and consistency; in the performance testing and simulation direction, it covers tire noise simulation, grounding performance testing, fatigue performance testing, dynamics calculation and other technical links to provide accurate technical support for product performance upgrades.
Industry analysts said that continuous investment in technology research and development is the core confidence for Chinese tire companies to break the technology monopoly of overseas brands and participate in global market competition. Linglong Tire’s intensive patent layout will not only strengthen its own product competitiveness, but also promote the technological upgrading of the entire Chinese tire industry, laying a solid foundation for Chinese tire products to further expand global market share.
