First, how to choose automobile tires
1. Look at the brand
There are countless tire brands on the market now, and many people may think that changing tires is better than matching original tires. However, in order to save costs, low-end models are mostly low-end models of low-end brands, and their comprehensive performance is relatively poor. Different tire brands have different characteristics. For example, Michelin is more comfortable, Goodyear has better wear resistance and grip, and it is more comfortable in rainy and snowy days.
Check the season
Tires are also divided into winter and summer, and the demand for tires is different in different seasons. Nowadays, many tires are used all year round, that is, tires that can be used all year round. Even if all-season tires have strong compatibility, they can't cope with the cold north, especially in areas with deep snow and serious freezing. The potential harm of all-season tires will be magnified several times, bringing irreversible danger. Generally speaking, when the temperature is below 7℃, it is recommended to replace winter tires. When the temperature is low, ordinary four-season tires will start to harden and the grip will decrease. In this case, driving safety cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, in order to avoid danger, it is recommended to replace the tires in line with the current season.
Look at the road conditions
In addition to all-season tires, there are all-road tires. As the name implies, all-terrain tires refer to tires that can cope with all kinds of road conditions. All-terrain tires are also called "all-terrain tires" or AT tires for short. This kind of tire will be more handy when driving in mud, snow, sand and other terrain. For example, Goodyear's UGICE+ is a winter tire. In the face of bad road conditions in winter, its tread design can make the tire achieve excellent ice and snow grip throughout its service life. If you often run at high speed or drive on bumpy roads, Goodyear's excellent wear resistance may be more in line with your needs. On the contrary, if you often drive on flat roads, maybe Michelin's comfort is more suitable for you.
How to choose the top ten automobile tire brands (
Second, the top ten automobile tire brands recommended
No: Michelin
1898 In the first exhibition in Lyon, Michelin brothers found a pile of tires with different diameters in the corner, which was very humanized. Soon after, the painter Ogaro created a special figure composed of many tires according to the appearance of the pile of tires, and Michelin tire man-"bibendum" was born.
From detachable tires to the latest "vertical anchor tire" (PAX system), Michelin's products have spread all over many fields, whether it is automobile, engineering, agricultural machinery, suspension system or even aerospace, Michelin's technology is everywhere. Cars all over the world, including antique cars, light buses, luxury cars, four-wheel drive off-road vehicles, trucks of all grades ... are equipped with all-weather tires or snow tires, and Michelin's footprints are all over the world.

Second place: Deng Lupu.
British Deng Lupu 1888 pioneered pneumatic tires and founded Deng Lupu brand. About 100 years later, Deng Lupu brand was owned by Sumitomo Rubber Industry Group. In the early 1990s, Sumitomo Corporation introduced Dunlop tires to the China market. In June 2002, Sumitomo established Sumitomo Rubber (Changshu) Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary in Changshu, Jiangsu.
The tires made in Deng Lupu, China are all middle and high-grade tires, and they all adopt their own unique "digital formula" technology, which is called "digital tires". The technology of "digital formula" is the general name of digital rotation technology. It is an inherent technology, which makes it possible to simulate and test various phenomena in tire rotation by using supercomputers.
The biggest feature of domestic Dunlop tire is that it has no characteristics (similar to Bridgestone mentioned later), its quiet and comfort are not as good as Michelin and European brands, and its grip is not as good as that of relatively neutral Pirelli. In fact, Deng Lupu is a pure high-end brand in the world. It can be seen from the matching that the prices of Audi A8, Mercedes S600, BMW 5 Series X5X3 and Volkswagen Touareg are somewhat exaggerated. In view of the situation in China, Deng Lupu appropriately lowered the positioning of some small tires to meet the needs of almost all models, and the prices were relatively appropriate. I once read a comment about Deng Lupu on the Internet: I dare not say that Deng Lupu is the best tire with the highest cost performance. If you play in the car occasionally, you need to be comfortable and quiet, and the price is not too expensive. Deng Lupu is fine.

Pirelli
1872, 24-year-old engineer and entrepreneur Giovanni Pirelli founded Pirelli Company in Milan, Italy.
After World War II, Pirelli invented "Cinturato" radial tire in 1948. In the early 1970s, Pirelli took the lead in designing and producing "low deflation" automobile tires specially used for high-performance automobiles, which was a revolutionary technological innovation since the invention of radial tires. In the early 1980s, as an active advocate and responder of environmental protection movement, Pirelli introduced low rolling resistance tires, which reduced energy consumption and saved energy. From 65438 to 0995, Pirelli successfully developed the "active safety response system" tire by using the latest advanced scientific and technological achievements such as silica composite materials.
Pirelli Tire Company has six advanced R&D companies in Italy, France, Germany, Britain, the United States and Brazil. Center D has more than 65,438+0,000 professional researchers and engineers, and R&D investment accounts for 3.5% of total sales.
To tell the truth, Pirelli tires are absolutely suitable for WRC-style road conditions, with super grip and great strength. I think Pirelli is the first choice for people who like racing. Its grip is too strong. I dare not say that Pirelli is the best, but I can responsibly say that Pirelli's grip on the ground is the best, which is a necessary condition for racing drivers, but only if Pirelli's tires are louder. Pirelli's price belongs to high-grade tires, which have been localized and sold well. There are many supporting cars, all of which are high-end cars, such as BMW 7 Series, Audi A8 and so on. If you like Pirelli, don't care about its high-priced positioning, and like to drive fast, choose Pirelli! !

Fourth place: Bridgestone
193 1 Bridgestone was born in kurume, Fukuoka Prefecture in March. The founder of the company is Masahiro Shiqiao (1889- 1976). Seijiro Shiqiao thinks it is more convenient for the company to export products with English names, so he translates his surname "Shiqiao" into English STONEBRIDGE. But because it was not easy to read, he decided to turn it upside down and change it to Bridgestone, hence the name Bridgestone. So we are used to calling the tires produced by this company "Shiqiao tires".
June 5438 +2000 10, Bridgestone acquired all the shares invested by South Korea Jinhu Group in Tianjin Jinhu Tire Co., Ltd. In September 2000, Tianjin Jinhu Tire Co., Ltd. was officially renamed Bridgestone (Tianjin) Tire Co., Ltd. In September 2000, the first Bridgestone brand tire was born in Tianjin factory. In June 2002, the second phase expansion project of Bridgestone Tianjin factory was completed. At present, the daily output of Tianjin factory is 6.5438+0.3 million tires. By 2003, Bridgestone had three tire factories in Tianjin, Shenyang and Wuxi, and an auto parts factory in Changzhou. At present, domestic Bridgestone tires have successfully matched many brands and models of cars.
Bridgestone is similar to Deng Lupu in China, with no special features, relatively neutral and acceptable performance in all aspects. It is the most wear-resistant among high-end brands, and its comfort and quietness are second only to Deng Lupu. Well, the price, because F 1 burns money crazily, is not cheap, cheaper than Michelin and Goodyear. Thanks to the sponsorship of F 1, the sales volume has reached an unprecedented height: it has surpassed Michelin, ranking first in the world at present, and Bridgestone can also see the match on high-end models such as Audi A8 and Mercedes-Benz S-Class last year. I don't want to recommend it because of the price.

Ferrer's high-quality full-time tires are specially designed for today's mainstream cars and coupes, providing low noise, comfort and excellent handling performance. Tires can mainly meet the needs of medium and small horsepower cars, and their handling, safety, comfort, mileage and low rolling resistance will be emphasized in the design.
Ferrer racing tires can be divided into two series-595 racing series street tires and limited production FZ fighting series professional track tires. Whether pursuing performance, modifying cars or simply for appearance, UHP is more and more widely used, and is no longer the patent of famous cars. Increasing the tread width and the diameter of the wheel network, higher speed and lower deflection greatly improve the maneuverability, sensitivity and braking distance of driving.
High-performance tires have the characteristics of performance, handling, wet grip, low noise, cruising range and so on, and are worth the money, so they can occupy a place in OE market. Under the premise of comfort, value for money and safety, it can maintain high-speed performance.

German horse brand is currently manufactured at over 100, R&; D and the test center have 8 1 000 employees.
Horse brand and Pirelli are two extremes, which are famous for their quietness and comfort. Those friends who say Michelin is comfortable must have never used horse brand tires. Comfortable and quiet is the biggest feature of the horse brand, but it seems that this is the only feature. Horse brand is not wear-resistant, with average grip and not strong, which is not suitable for road conditions in China. The price of imported tires is relatively real. At present, the factory in China has not been built, and the market performance depends on the positioning of domestic tires after they are rolled off the assembly line (according to the internal meeting of mainland tires, the first competitor aiming at domestic tires is Deng Lupu). If you pursue comfort and silence, and have no requirements for wear resistance, sportiness and price, horse brand is a good choice.
