Yokohama Off-Highway Tires traces its operational lineage to the off-highway tyre business previously known as Alliance Tire Group (ATG). ATG built its presence around three established off-highway brands — Alliance, Galaxy and Primex — covering a wide spectrum of bias and radial tyres for farm tractors, harvesters, loaders, backhoes, skid steers, telehandlers and similar machinery.
Yokohama Rubber acquired Alliance Tire Group, after which the off-highway business was integrated into the Yokohama group's portfolio and subsequently rebranded as Yokohama Off-Highway Tires. The rebranding aligned the off-highway operations with the parent company's global identity while retaining the Alliance, Galaxy and Primex product brands, which continue to be marketed to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the replacement market.
The company has a significant manufacturing and engineering footprint in India, which is one of the principal production bases for its global supply. Indian operations include large-scale tyre plants producing radial and bias off-highway tyres for export to markets in North America, Europe and Asia, in addition to serving domestic agricultural and industrial customers.
Positioned across agricultural and industrial segments, with both bias-ply and radial offerings.
Focused largely on industrial, construction and material handling applications.
Specialises in forestry and heavy-duty off-highway tyres.
Yokohama Off-Highway Tires is recognised as a notable global supplier in the off-highway tyre segment, a category distinct from passenger and truck tyres because of differing load, traction and durability requirements. Through its Indian manufacturing base and integration with the Yokohama Rubber Company, it links Indian tyre production capacity with global OEM and aftermarket distribution networks in agricultural and construction machinery.
