Infinity is a budget brand with an unusual setup: it is owned by a Dubai-based distributor but built by one of China's larger manufacturers. That gives it a more solid base than a true no-name tyre, while keeping it firmly at the value end on price.
Where it sits
Budget market. The pitch is affordable, everyday tyres well below premium prices. Where that lands against the rest of the market is set out under premium versus mid-range versus budget.
What it is known for
- Being the flagship brand of the Al Dobowi Group, a Dubai distributor
- Tyres made under contract by Linglong, a large Chinese manufacturer
- A value-led range covering everyday cars, SUVs and vans
How it compares
Against premium and mid-range brands, Infinity gives up the usual things: wet-weather margin, steering precision, refinement and tread life. Against unbranded imports, it is the more credible choice, since being made by Linglong brings a bigger engineering base and more consistent quality than a genuine no-name. As with any budget tyre, the wet-grip grade on the label is the figure worth checking before you buy, particularly for UK roads.
Where they are made
Infinity tyres are made by Linglong, so production is mainly in China and other Linglong facilities. A tyre's exact origin depends on the model and size shown on the sidewall.
Who they suit
Value buyers covering modest mileage who want a low-cost tyre backed by a real manufacturer rather than an unknown name. For a small or mid-size car driven mainly in town and on the motorway, an Infinity model with a good wet grade can make sense. If you drive a powerful car, tow, or face a lot of harsh weather, a tyre with wider independent test coverage is the wiser spend. Matching the choice to your driving is covered under matching tyres to how you drive.
From the reviews desk: Infinity is one of those brands that sounds anonymous but is actually made by Linglong, which is no small operation. It is still a budget tyre, so treat it as one, but it is a more sensible buy than a true unbranded import. Pick a good wet grade and keep an eye on the pressures.
