ZC Rubber started in 1958 as Hangzhou Rubber Factory and first made bicycle tyres. Tyrepress reported 2018 revenue of RMB 26.9 billion, which placed the group ninth among world tyre makers. In September 2017 it opened Zhongce Europe GmbH in Germany, its fourth overseas branch after Thailand, Brazil and the United States. That office sells Goodride and Westlake and works on original equipment business in Europe.
European Rubber Journal has reported nine ZC Rubber tyre plants in China and one in Rayong, Thailand. The Rayong plant opened in June 2015 and builds Goodride alongside the other four group brands.

NDI Group imports and distributes the brand in Denmark. In the United States it is sold through ZC Rubber America Inc., the California subsidiary. Retailers in Britain and Germany list Goodride in their budget or value category. One German retailer showed 232 Goodride items at the time of checking.
Goodride is built in ZC Rubber plants in China and in Rayong, Thailand, which gives importers a non-Chinese origin for truck sizes. Many Goodride pattern codes, such as SA37, H188 and CR960A, also appear under Westlake, Chaoyang and Trazano. Loading quantity, lead time and minimum order depend on your size mix.
