ZC Rubber to Showcase European Portfolio at Tire Cologne

At this year’s The Tire Cologne, ZC Rubber will present its latest portfolio of Westlake and Goodride tyres in Hall 8.1, Booth C50, with a strong focus on products developed specifically for the European market.

At this year’s exhibition, ZC Rubber will present new products scheduled for launch in Europe in the second half of 2026, alongside established truck and bus radial (TBR) range and selected previews of future developments planned for 2027.

A key highlight will be the presentation of the Westlake Sport RS2, an established ultra-high-performance tyre already proven in numerous drift events and known for its strong grip and precise control characteristics with a 180 treadwear rating.

Through ZC Rubber’s continued collaboration with the Red Bull Drift-brothers team, the tyre now features an upgraded rubber compound designed to deliver more consistent grip under extreme loads and high-intensity driving conditions.

As part of the Sport RS2 showcase, Elias Hountondji, driver and engineer of the Red Bull Driftbrothers, will appear on the ZC Rubber stand, highlighting how ZC Rubber applies motorsport experience to tyre development and product refinement.

Apart from the Sport RS2, ZC Rubber will present a broad range of products across key segments, including new PCR models scheduled for launch in Europe in the second half of 2026, along with an established TBR portfolio already available for commercial transport applications.

The forthcoming PCR line-up for Europe will include the Westlake ZuperFlex Z-137 and Goodride RideMax G-147 in the UHP segment, plus the Westlake Zuper4S Z-411 for all-season performance, and the Westlake Terra Legend SL399 and Goodride Mud Legend SL388 for all-terrain and off-road applications.

The TBR portfolio on display will include current products such as the Westlake WSL2 and WDL2+, along with Goodride S2, D3, and D4, covering steer and drive axle applications for long-haul and heavy-duty transport.

ZC Rubber will also preview selected 2027 developments, including the Westlake Z-301 commercial van tyre, Goodride All Season G-721, Goodride SnowComfort G-518, and new TBR products such as Westlake WTL2, Westlake WTR OEM, and Goodride M2.

Mr. Leo Liao, General Manager of ZC Rubber Europe adds, “This year’s showcase reflects a much broader and more complete portfolio for Europe. From UHP and all-season tyres to all-terrain, mud-terrain and TBR solutions, we are bringing new developments across almost every major segment. This reflects how seriously we take the European market by listening to local needs, investing in the right products, and building a portfolio that better matches the needs of our European partners.”
