What is the Black Star tyre?
BLACK STAR is a retread (=refurbished) tyre specialist with recognized know-how since 1979.
The tyres under the Black Star brand are produced in Saint-Pierre-de-Bœuf (40 minutes south of Lyon), in its historic factory.
A transversal and atypical offer is proposed, covering both passenger car tyres intended for the general public, but in particular tyres intended for the niche market more difficult to find in the traditional networks: namely short sizes because of scarcity, light truck tyres with atypical profiles like crampons, an offer dedicated to craftsmen to allow them to evolve serenely on their construction sites.
But also, an offer dedicated to off-road lovers through a very extensive off-road range with recognized performance in sand, snow and mud !
