Arisun truck tyres are built for US fleets, so EPA SmartWay verification is the key approval. AT500 was verified at launch in 2012, and Tyrepress reported three Arisun tyres gaining SmartWay status in 2016.
Sales run through ZC Rubber America Inc. and independent US dealers. In April 2026 the truck range was launched in Northern Ireland at Road Transport Expo in Lisburn. SDC Truck and Trailer Parts, part of SDC Trailers, is the exclusive distributor there.
Arisun sizes follow North American fitments, so importers elsewhere should check which patterns exist in metric 22.5 inch sizes. ZC Rubber lists Arisun among the brands built at its Thai plant in Rayong as well as in China. Loading quantity, lead time and minimum order depend on your size mix.
