Who Advance are
Exclusive UK distributor
GB Tyres is the exclusive UK distributor for Advance, with stock, product enquiries and warranty support available through our team.
Advance is the main export brand of Guizhou Tyre Co., Ltd, a long-established manufacturer with plants in Vietnam and China based in Guiyang, Guizhou province. The company’s reputation was built on off-highway rather than car tyres: large earthmover sizes, agricultural radials and crossplies, and industrial and forklift fitments.
The range covers tractors, loading shovels and telehandlers, including crossply sizes for older equipment.
Advance is manufactured in Vietnam and China, and the plant of origin varies by line. If a customer’s tender specifies a country of origin, ring the desk on +44 (0)121 520 5215 or email sales@gbtyres.net and we will confirm it for the exact fitment before you commit to the order.
GB Tyres and Advance
Agriculture is a core part of our Advance offering, with stock held for UK trade supply. Contact our team for current availability and delivery options during busy working periods.
Sectors and ranges
Advance covers four of our sectors. The agricultural range runs both radial and crossply, which is the practical reason it sells: a mixed farm fleet rarely converts to radial in one go, and a dealer needs both on the same delivery.
On radial agricultural fitments, check whether the customer needs a standard, IF or VF casing before you quote — the load and pressure implications are set out in the IF and VF guide. For earthmover sizes, the star rating rather than the ply rating governs the load and speed capability; see OTR codes and star ratings.

Choosing the right fitment
Advance offers a value price point across agricultural, OTR and industrial applications. Compare the individual pattern and specification with the machine’s working conditions.
The range includes options for tractors, trailers, plant hire equipment and yard telehandlers. Consider annual hours, load and surface conditions alongside the purchase price.
Our team can help match the size, construction and service rating to the duty cycle.
