Kavir Tire Co.

What Kavir Tire Co. does

Kavir Tire Co. (کویرتایر) is an Iranian knowledge-based tire manufacturer incorporated in 1987 and publicly listed on Iran's Farabourse over-the-counter market. The company designs and produces radial tires for passenger vehicles, SUVs, and commercial vans across 56 SKUs spanning R13 to R20 sizes, marketed under brand families including Smart, Elegance, Special, Tiger, WONDERFULL, Glorious, and BAHMAN. All production uses 'green tire' technology — claimed to be the first such implementation in Iran — reducing weight by 10%, fuel consumption by 2.5%, rolling resistance by 16%, and tire wear versus conventional formulations. The company also claims domestic firsts for W-speed (270 km/h) and Y-speed (300 km/h) tire series, the first fully domestically designed SUV tire (Tiger KB66), and proprietary in-house manufacturing of tire curing presses and steel-rubber machinery.

The company operates a single large manufacturing facility in Birjand, South Khorasan Province, within a dedicated industrial town, alongside a Tehran head office handling sales and administration. Its go-to-market is sales-led and entirely domestic: 504 sales representatives, 82 after-sales service centers, 85 total warranty/service points, plus an e-commerce platform (esale.kavirtire.ir) and dedicated B2B portal (sales.kavirtire.ir). Customers include Iranian automakers (Iran Khodro for Tara/Shahin/Dena, plus supply to Pride, Samand, L90 platforms) and international brands distributed in Iran (Chery Tiggo 5/7, Exeed VX), alongside the consumer replacement-tire segment. Distribution is supported by a 5-year warranty and broad marketing presence across Telegram, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

The company holds the full automotive certification stack (IATF 16949:2016, ISO 9001/14001/45001/50001), R&D Capability Grade 3 in chemical/polymer industries, and the first patent registered in Iran's tire industry (steam consumption optimization for tire curing presses). Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of tires via dealer network, B2B OEM contracts, and direct online channels, supplemented by aftermarket service revenue across the service center network. Specific pricing is not publicly disclosed.
