The actual history of Avon Tyres goes back to 1885, when a former cloth mill in Melksham, Wiltshire, was turned into a rubber goods factory.
By the turn of the century the company was looking at diversifying into other rubber products and by 1911 Avon produced their first motorcycle tyre.
During the last hundred years the company has been associated with and had competition wins with famous names such as, Geoff Duke, John Surtees, Mike Hailwood and Barry Sheene, all have raced and won onAvon Tyres.
Congratulations to them for having business for 100 years!
