History of Avon tyres
A TRADITION OF SUCCESS
Avon was formed in 1885, when Messrs. Brown and Margetson turned a former cloth mill into a rubber goods factory. As the century turned, they spotted a new opportunity: pneumatic tyres for motorcars.
Come 1933 and Avon Tyres is in full stride: the company successfully floats on the stock exchange and Rolls-Royce specifies our tyres as standard equipment.
AHEAD OF THE COMPETITION
Growth is rapid. In fact, modernisation sees output double by 1956 and expand our contracts supplying tyres to many British car marques. A long line of sporting success begins on the race track. New formulas are developed to increased ‘cling’ in the 1960s, and Avon creates of some of the World’s first radial tyres.
ON ROAD. ON TRACK. ON AVONS.
The company is now active in over 150 motorsport championships worldwide and the
technology and knowhow used in our race tyres is based on our DNA and across to
our road tyre ranges.
