South African tyre supplier Royal Tyres and global off-highway tyre manufacturer Ascenso Tyres are working together to expand their offering to the South African market.
The partnership combines Ascenso’s off-highway tyre portfolio and manufacturing and research and development capabilities with Royal Tyres’ established distribution network and knowledge of the South African operating environment.
Royal Tyres supplies OTR, earthmover, industrial, forklift, agricultural and truck tyres from its Durban base and Phoenix distribution centre, with stock held across a range of sizes used in mining and industrial applications.
The companies are showcasing their combined offering at Electra Mining Africa 2026, with a focus on supporting operators where equipment availability and tyre replacement times have a direct impact on productivity.
