PRINX TIRES | TIRE BUYING GUIDE
Prinx Tires is a tire brand based out of Rongcheng City in the Shandong Province of China. Prinx became the first brand of Prinx Chengshan Holding Limited in 1976, which has three other tire brands: Chengshan Tires, Austone Tires, and Fortune Tires. The company expanded to two production centers in China and Thailand and distributes their tire brands across 130 countries. Today, Prinx is known as a premium performance brand for luxury vehicles, SUVs, and vans. In the U.S., Prinx is distributed by TBC Brands.
Prinx are known for their all season tires that are specifically engineered for low road noise and high braking performance. Reviewers note that Prinx all-season tires have excellent responsiveness and smooth ride comfort. As with most all-season tires, they will not perform as well in heavy winter conditions like snow and ice. This makes Prinx tires best for passenger vehicles that are looking for a smooth on-road drive. Take note that they’re relatively new in North America, as they’ve only been distributing in the U.S. under the Prinx brand since November 2020.
Prinx Tire Categories
Prinx offers tires in these categories: high-performance all season, all-season all-terrain, all-season highway, on-road/off-road, and ultra-high performance all-season.
Tires by Prinx are UTQG rated average or above, depending on the tread type. To learn more about how tires are rated, read our guide to tire ratings.

For example, if your tire wears down at 25,000 miles and you have a 50,000 mile warranty, you’ll receive half the credit of the retail price of the tire. Keep in mind that the credit won’t apply to the discounted price, so you may be unable to claim the warranty due. This is common with budget brands.
