Aurus cars will receive Russian brand tires

JSC Cordiant Holding has developed tires for cars of the domestic luxury brand Aurus, now the novelty is at the testing stage. This was announced on March 19 by Vadim Volodin, CEO of JSC Cordiant, at the company's press conference at the Gislaved plant in Ulyanovsk, the Izvestia correspondent reports.

"Gislaved brand tires for Aurus cars are already being tested. This is a definite challenge for us. The automaker is interested in a second supplier," Volodin said.

As previously mentioned, Aurus cars, which are operated in a Special Purpose Garage, are now equipped with 20-inch Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 or Pirelli Scorpion Verde tires.

Cordiant Holding includes five production sites, including the plants of JSC Cordiant in Omsk and Yaroslavl and enterprises purchased from foreign owners: the former Continental in Kaluga and Bridgestone in Ulyanovsk (now Gislaved plants). The total production capacity of Cordiant Holding is up to 15 million tires per year.

Also on this day, Vadim Volodin, CEO of Cordiant JSC, said that last year sales of new passenger tires increased by 23% compared to 2023, and Chinese brand products occupied 70% of the market.
