Yinbao Tyre Group started in Shouguang in the mid-1990s as a bias tyre maker for the Chinese market. Tyrepress reported in 2006 that it had introduced radial technology about three years earlier and was then making around 1 million radial truck and bus tyres a year. At that time the group sold three brands, Goodtyre, Yinbao and Huibao, with Goodtyre treated as the export label. Exports were about 20 per cent of turnover.
By 2008 Tyrepress described three plants in China, exports to more than 50 countries and 2007 revenue of 1.6 billion yuan. The range then included truck, agricultural, industrial and OTR tyres plus inner tubes, with giant sizes such as 36.00R51 and bias 40.00-57. Chairman at the time was Yonghua Liu.
The group now describes itself as a specialist in special tyres and all-steel radials, with more than 1,200 staff and over 50 national patents. Its current catalogue lists 31 tubeless truck patterns, 16 tube-type load patterns and a separate mining line.
Truck and bus radial (TBR), tubeless. Long-haul steer, trailer and all-position patterns such as GT07 and GT08 in 12R22.5, and the GT887 regional pattern in 245/70R17.5 and 245/70R19.5. Drive patterns such as GT398+ cover mixed-road heavy haulage.
Load tyres for heavy and short-haul work. The YB series, including YB601, YB602 and YB556, is designed for short-distance, low-speed, overloaded work. GT318 and GT368 are drive patterns for medium and short-distance haulage on mixed roads.
Mining and construction OTR. Radial E-3 and E-4 patterns in 13.00R25, 14.00R24, 14.00R25 and 16.00R25, in tube-type and tubeless versions with two-star and three-star ratings. YB916 E-4 is aimed at copper and iron ore mines.

Tyrepress reported in 2008 that Yinbao group products carried DOT, ECE, INMETRO and SNI approvals. The company itself lists the China Famous Trademark title and the Shandong Quality Award. In China, Yinbao supplies original equipment to Sinotruk, Shaanxi Heavy Truck and Beiqi Foton.
The group names Europe, the Americas, Australia and the Middle East as export regions. In 2008 its main export markets were the Middle East, Southeast Asia, India, Africa, Australia, South America and Russia. In 2016 Tyrepress reported a Yinbao sales tour of Germany, Poland, Romania and Lithuania after US tariffs on Chinese tyres.
Yinbao truck and mining tyres ship from the group's industrial park in Taitou Town, Shouguang, so TBR and radial OTR can be combined from one site. The export label Goodtyre comes from the same group, and no production outside China was found. Loading quantity, lead time and minimum order depend on your size mix.
