Advanced Tyre Technology & Innovation
At AUSTONE Tires, technology is more than a feature – it’s the foundation of everything we do. From advanced R&D to intelligent design, we use cutting-edge processes to create tyres that deliver real-world results: better performance, greater efficiency, and longer life.
Backed by Prinx Chengshan’s in-house R&D centres and a culture of continuous innovation, our tyres are built to meet the demands of today’s roads – and tomorrow’s.
Two of our most significant advancements, Matrix Technology and LCI™ Technology, demonstrate how we put innovation to work on every journey.
LCI™ Technology
Smarter tyres. Lower costs.
Our innovative LCI™ (Lane Control Indicator) Technology, developed by Prinx Chengshan, helps drivers and fleet operators reduce operating costs while maximising tyre performance.
What LCI™ Technology Delivers:
- Increased mileage and extended tyre lifecycle
- Optimised fuel consumption
- Fewer complaints and downtime
- Preserved casings for retreading
How it Works:
Even small chassis misalignments can increase wear, raise fuel consumption, and damage the tyre carcass. LCI™ Technology exposes these issues early, using a unique tread profile that highlights misalignments before they escalate.
The result? Longer-lasting tyres, lower running costs, and greater peace of mind for both drivers and fleet managers.
Matrix Technology (MT)
Stronger. Safer. Longer-lasting.
Developed by our parent company, Prinx Chengshan, Matrix Technology is a breakthrough in tyre engineering. By integrating a 100-metre high-elongation steel wire winding around the tyre crown, selected AUSTONE tyres gain superior strength and resilience.
Key Benefits of Matrix Technology:
- Enhanced shock resistance on complex roads
- More even tread wear for extended service life
- Greater durability under heavy loads and high speeds
- Improved comfort and confidence for drivers
With Matrix Technology, AUSTONE Tires are engineered to deliver long-lasting performance you can rely on, mile after mile.
Leading Research & Development
Engineered In-House
Our R&D is managed internally by teams of experienced engineers and specialists who develop high-end, intelligent, and sustainable tyre solutions. This gives us complete control over quality, innovation, and product evolution.
Academic Collaboration
Working in partnership with institutions like Tsinghua University, we’ve made significant progress in NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) development, resulting in low-noise tyres for a more refined and comfortable ride.
Fuel-Efficient Focus
Our commercial tyre programme continues to advance in low and ultra-low rolling resistance technology, improving fuel consumption and reducing environmental impact – all without compromising on safety or durability.
Performance You Can Renew
AUSTONE Tires are designed not just to last – but to last longer. Our regroovable and retreadable designs significantly extend tyre life, reduce environmental waste, and lower long-term running costs.
Regrooving
Increases mileage potential by up to 25%
Saves up to 2 litres of fuel per 100km
Restores tread depth for safe, continued use
All commercial AUSTONE tyres marked “Regroovable” comply with ECE Regulation 54. Performed correctly, regrooving restores traction, maintains safety, and improves lifecycle efficiency.
Retreading
Extends casing life while reducing raw material use
Minimises carbon footprint and water consumption
Maintains structural integrity with reinforced casing design
Our Class A casings are engineered for multiple retreads, offering an economical and environmentally responsible option for commercial fleets.
Precision in Every Pattern
The tread pattern is a critical factor in tyre performance – and at AUSTONE, each design is carefully developed to match the demands of specific vehicles and road conditions.
Whether it’s for city streets or long-haul transport, every AUSTONE pattern is tested and validated to perform exactly where it counts.
Passenger Cars
Patterns are designed for quiet, responsive handling and reliable wet grip, ideal for daily driving and family comfort.
SUVs
Reinforced tread designs support heavier loads and enhance stability on mixed surfaces.
Vans & Light Commercial Vehicles
Balanced for durability, load-bearing capability, and fuel economy.
Trucks & Buses
Patterns are tailored for high mileage, efficient water dispersion, and confident traction under heavy-duty use.
Driven by Progress, Built for the Road Ahead
Technology at AUSTONE is not about complexity – it’s about creating smarter, safer, and more efficient tyres for everyone. Whether you’re driving a family car or managing a commercial fleet, our focus on innovation ensures your tyres go further, last longer, and perform better.
