Arisun is a subsidiary of Zhongce Rubber Group Co., Ltd (ZC Rubber), which is based in China and rolls out tires that offer great performance in different weather conditions. ZC Rubber produces tires for passenger cars, industrial vehicles, agricultural equipment, SUVs, CUVs, light trucks, bicycles, motorcycles, and ATVs. With international Research and Development (R&D) facilities, Arisun focuses on tread formulation improvement, advanced technology development, and stringent quality checks to develop high-quality tires under all-season, all-terrain, mud-terrain, rugged-terrain, commercial, and highway categories.

Designed for CUVs, SUVs, and light trucks, the Arisun ZG04 features angled tread blocks and siping that allow increased grip and traction on highways. The wide circumferential grooves of the ZG04 help quickly evacuate water to mitigate the risk of hydroplaning and boost wet traction. The special rubber compound and symmetric tread design ensure the tire offers adequate grip, stability, handling, traction, and braking on dry, wet, and light snow. The optimized pitch sequencing helps curb vibrations and noise levels to deliver a comfortable drive while the reinforced sidewall construction boosts its load-carrying capacity.
