Although Chinese cars can be said to have really risen now, overwhelming the established powers, in the field of tires, although the price of domestic brand tires is almost half cheaper than the same level of international brands, and the user reputation is also quite good, there are still many consumers In the face of cost-effectiveness, consumers choose international brand tires with greater brand reputation.
Based on the following news, it is estimated that everyone will further change their outdated views on domestic tires. German media Auto Bild announced the results of the 2023 summer tire test. The specifications of this batch of tires participating in the test are all 225/45 R18 95Y. After two rounds of dry and wet tests and a comprehensive evaluation of performance, comfort and environmental characteristics, Linglong from Shandong, China, ranked Sport Master tires ranked 7th, outperforming tires of the same level from Maxxis, Toyo, Kumho, Dunlop, Nexans, Giti, and Bridgestone.
This is indeed an achievement worth being proud of. In fact, what many people don’t know is that Linglong Tire is already ranked 12th among global tire manufacturers by Tirepress.com. In addition to Linglong Tire, currently excellent domestic tire brands include Double Star Tire, Triangle Tire, Huali Tire, Maxxis Tire, Chaoyang Tire, Linglong Tire, Double Coin Tire, etc.
However, Chinese consumers generally do not trust domestic tires that are much cheaper. This may be because domestic tires have had some problems in quality and reputation in the past, which has led to low consumer trust in them. In addition, some consumers may be more inclined to purchase imported brand tires, believing that their quality and performance are more reliable.
In fact, with the continuous advancement of domestic tire production technology and the strengthening of quality management, the quality and performance of domestic tires have been greatly improved. At present, the performance level of domestic tires in the world tire industry is already quite good, and the products of some brands have reached the international advanced level. Of course, there are also differences, such as wear resistance, rolling resistance, fuel consumption, noise, and performance differences on dry and wetlands. However, the performance gap is far less obvious than the price gap. Even some high-quality domestic tires can almost replace the same-level international brand-name tires that are twice the price at half the price.
In short, with the continuous advancement of domestic tire production technology and the strengthening of quality management, the quality and performance of domestic tires have been greatly improved. Although there is still a certain gap compared with international brands, it has reached a good level. When purchasing tires, consumers should choose products that suit them based on their own needs and budget, and should not blindly pursue or even be superstitious about imported brands.
Recently, Auto Bild began 2023 summer tire testing. The tire size participating in the test is 225/45 R18 95Y, which will be divided into two rounds. In the first round of testing, testers will conduct dry and wet tests on 50 types of tires and record their braking distances on different road surfaces. The braking distances for both surfaces (wet and dry) are then added together. The 20 types of tires with smaller total braking distances will enter the next round of testing. In the second round of testing, testers will conduct a more comprehensive assessment of performance, comfort and environmental characteristics. The relationship between good performance of
and a higher purchase price is observable, but this is not always the case. For example, the Linglong Sport Master produced by Linglong Tire, the world's 12th largest tire manufacturer ranked by Tyrepress.com, achieved quite good results in the first round of testing.
