GRI TYRES

GRI Tyres – Specialty & Sustainable Solutions for New Zealand

We’re pleased to introduce GRI Tyres into our specialty tyre offerings across New Zealand. For agricultural, construction, industrial, and material-handling operations seeking high performance, durability, and growing sustainability, GRI brings a compelling choice.

About GRI

  • Origins & Global Reach
    GRI (Global Rubber Industries) was founded in 2002, based in Sri Lanka. Since its early years, it has built a reputation for manufacturing high-quality specialty tyres for agriculture, construction, material handling, and industrial sectors. 
    Today GRI exports to over 70 countries worldwide.

  • Sustainability & Innovation
    GRI has developed and adopted eco-friendly materials and production processes. Some of its recent product lines include the GREEN XLR EARTH Series of agricultural tyres (made with ~37.5 % sustainable/recycled materials), and its Ultimate Green XT solid material-handling tyres (containing ~42.8 % sustainable content) with reduced rolling resistance and abrasion loss.

  • Product Range & Expansion
    In recent years, GRI has significantly expanded its SKUs in agriculture and construction segments globally, adding more sizes, higher load-ratings, and speed ratings to better suit heavy-duty operations.

What Makes GRI Especially Good for NZ

Given New Zealand’s unique mix of terrain, weather, and agricultural / industrial demands, GRI Tyres have several advantages:

  • Durability in Tough Conditions
    NZ farms, logging, earthmoving, and construction operations often expose tyres to rough surfaces (stone, chipseal, mud), steep slopes, heavy loads. GRI’s reinforced construction, robust tread designs, and heavy-duty specifications are well suited to such environments.

  • Fuel & Operational Efficiency
    The newer GRI offerings such as GREEN XLR EARTH and Ultimate Green XT are developed for reduced rolling resistance and improved tread longevity. These translate to fuel savings, less downtime, and lower total cost of ownership—a big plus where fuel & maintenance costs are high.

  • Sustainable Materials & Environmental Considerations
    Many New Zealand customers—especially in agriculture—are increasingly conscious of sustainable practices. GRI supports this with high content of recycled materials, use of natural rubber, reduced environmental impact through recycled carbon black and reclaimed rubber, environmentally friendly oils, and manufacturing steps that lower emissions.

  • Variety & Growing Fitment Options
    With recent expansions, there are more SKUs, better sizes, load/speed options for equipment used locally—tractors, harvesters, loaders, skid steers, telehandlers etc. This means better matching to local machinery without compromises.

Here are some of the notable GRI product lines especially relevant to NZ:
