Driving Performance, Durability & Dependability
Legacy of Engineering Excellence

From the time it was established in 1993, ATF Tyre has consistently etched its position as a reliable tyre manufacturer with credibility in more than 32+ countries. ATF Tyre's journey has been defined by an unshakable passion for engineering excellence and an intrinsic belief in continuous evolution. What started as a regional tyre manufacturing business has evolved into a global export leader-fueled by its commitment to innovation, material science, and intelligent manufacturing.

At the core of our progress is a passionate in-house innovation cell, which synergizes field understanding with material science to create high-performance tyres that resist the world's most extreme terrain-from farms to industrial mines.

R&D capabilities

Advanced Compound Development

We engineer proprietary rubber compounds designed for different terrains and load stages. With advanced additives, high-quality polymers, and reinforcement technologies, our compounds deliver:

Improved wear resistance

Increased heat dissipation Enhanced cut & chip resistance Lower rolling resistance for fuel efficiency Structural Innovation

Each ATF tyre is designed with purpose.

From deep-lug tractor designs to strengthened belts for OTR, we provide structural integrity through:

  • 3D tread modeling
  • Load simulation & wear prediction tools
  • Impact-tested sidewall reinforcements
  • Purpose-designed bead structures for retreadability
  • Sustainable Material R&D

We're researching a new generation of materials including:

  • Bio-based rubber blends
  • Recycled carbon black
  • Nano-silica additives
  • Butyl-rich blends for longer tube life
From Lab to Land

Where Prototypes and Real-World Challenges Meet

Our design journey ranges from concept, virtual testing, in-lab verification, to rigorous field trials. If it's an ultra-light tube for rural transportation or a tough bias tyre for quarry loaders, our aim is straightforward: design tyres that get the job done where it really counts.

Our Testing Workflow

  • Prototype Fabrication: Concept-to-sample with in-house molds and computer-based design software
  • Indoor Lab Testing: Load bearing tests, thermal cycle testing, compound abrasion tests
  • Real-Life Validation: Work farms, mine locations, and manufacturing plants throughout India & internationally
  • End-user Feedback: Built into design revisions for quick improvement
  • Smart Manufacturing Tech

Our production facilities are upgraded with:

  • Computerized compound mixing stations
  • In-line defect detection systems
  • Automated curing presses
  • Real-time batch monitoring systems
  • Sustainable Material R&D

This guarantees consistent quality, low wastage, and scalable production output without any sacrifice on performance.

Why Our Innovation Counts

  • Built to Last -Tyres tested to withstand heat, mud, rock, and load extremes
