Royal Black is a budget brand whose tyres are made in China. In the EU tyre label database, the brand's authorised representative is the Dutch company Dutch Bridge International. In Europe it is mainly car tyres that are sold. Royal Black suits drivers looking for the most affordable tyre possible who mostly drive in town. Drivers who spend more time on motorways or in wintry conditions may want to consider more expensive alternatives.
The most common Royal Black summer tyres are the RoyalSport, Royalmile and Royal Explorer 2. The winter tyre is called the Royal Winter. For year-round use, the brand offers the Royal A/S and Royal A/S II all-season tyres. Studded or non-studded tyres designed for icy Nordic roads are not a highlight of the Royal Black range.
