60 years ago, the whole world was actively discussed by the Japanese economic miracle, trying to understand how the backward semi-feudal country, which was Japan before the Second World War, in a short time turned into one of the pillars of the global economy. Then followed the queue of South Korea, and lately everyone speaks about Chinese phenomenon. This is all the more surprising that the officially subnetious is a country with a communist system and ideology. The current level of its development is not very tugable with the works of K. Marx, but the fact remains a fact - Chinese manufacturers coming along all fronts. It is not an exception and automotive, in particular - the production market.
Yesterday, no one for well-known firms today are actively tested on the market brands with world name and long history. Just striking progress! But in Russia, as in the rest of the world, strong prejudice is still preserved against Chinese products, which can be understood - as can the company, only yesterday appeared on the market, produce quality products? It turns out - maybe if approaching the case with the mind. However, local production is extremely inhomogeneously - here there are persistent leaders who managed to break into planetary tops, and there are really few well-known manufacturers, stamping cheap tires with dubious performance characteristics. But the consumer market is just as heterogeneous - there is a considerable interlayer of buyers, for which the main factor is the cost.
Features of the Chinese car market
If you turn to the facts, the best modern Chinese tires are practically not inferior to recognized European, Japanese or American analogues.
The phrase Made in China today does not say anything. It may be good, and frankly low-quality products. You will be surprised, but now in the country, about 500 enterprises of different levels are engaged in the production of rubber. Although, if you compare this figure with the number of people in the PRC (and these are the same half a billion people), then everything becomes clear. It is interesting here that's what: every fifth resident of the planet is a Chinese, and the share of Chinese tire plants in global production is still above - about 30%. Of course, this company includes both enterprises that have moved tire production from other countries due to the cheap labor, low taxes and an affordable commodity resource.
But the paradox is cheaper than their products from this did not! Tires Michelin or Pirelli, produced in China, stand almost as much as manufactured at other plants. And this situation is observed in many spheres of production, including high-tech.
But back to Chinese tires come back. In the last rating of manufacturers of auto strokes in Top-10, five companies from the Middle Kingdom were entered! Is it not evidence of decent quality of local products? We mention these manufacturers:
- Maxxis;
- Gitti Tire;
- Hangzhou Zhoungce;
- Triangle;
- Shandong Linglong.
Remember them to not be patched after the next trip to the car shop. These are the best Chinese tire manufacturers, although some names are certainly unknown to you.
It is impossible not to note another bright feature of the Chinese industry as a whole and tire production in particular. This is a love for copying products of world leaders, as well as a tendency to borrow the famous brands. Fighting with these phenomena is hard, especially with names - enough one modified letter to make any cue is meaningless. It is noteworthy that in this case the calculation is made to the markets of third countries, the population of which reverently refers to popular trademarks, but not so educated to distinguish Sony from Sonny or Soni.
The advantages and disadvantages of Chinese rubber
It is impossible not to recognize that even among the products of recognized European and Japanese tire companies there are models that are explicitly attributed to an unsuccessful reliability, quality, resource and other specific characteristics. In the same way, the Chinese segment, which, as a whole, is still inferior to global brands, but confidently and progress is approaching them. Already today, the best representatives of the Chinese Tinprom can be in popularity with more eminent products.
So, what are the tires from the miserable:
- winter Chinese tires, regardless of the presence / absence of spikes, very well retain their elastic properties at temperatures characteristic of winter for the most part of Russia. It can be recommended to use them on our roads under the condition that low traffic intensity;
- as for widespread rubber, then, according to the results of numerous tests, it is characterized by the smoothness of the stroke and a low rate of rolling resistance. Consequently, such tires are good on the roads with micronether, as they minimize vibrations and shaking;
- even in such a key indicator for the Russian user, like wear resistance, Chinese products are quite competitive. Moreover, some models are superior to the stock of tires from well-known world brands;
- it should not be said that on the price availability of the Tire from the PRC do not have competitors;
- another positive point is a real resource in Chinese tires, according to tests, above the manufacturers.
And now about minuses:
- A significant part of Chinese tire products is not very good in the performance of braking, controllability, clutch coefficient with slippery / icing / snow-covered road surface. In leaders, as a rule, these indicators are normal, but they also have unsuccessful models;
- local developers are still not paying enough attention to the aquaplaning resistance. As a result - you cannot be sure that the car on the wet highway when braking does not break into the skid. Similar problems are available for winter roads. It is noteworthy that almost all Chinese manufacturers sin, although in varying degrees;
- finally, it should be noted that the Chinese pay little attention to the fight against noise. Their rubber is one of the most noisy, especially when driving at high speeds. However, for many domestic motorists, this drawback explicitly refers to secondary.
Chinese manufacturers tire rating
An impatient reader is probably waiting for the publishing rating of the best tires with Made In China marking. Well, it's time to satisfy their curiosity.
Triangle
Founded at the time of the USSR in 1976, this company initially specialized in the production of tires for trucks. Currently, this is the largest Chinese manufacturer of auto strokes, in the assortment of which the entire spectrum of tires is presented - winter, radial.
This is a modern enterprise that has a number of undoubted advantages:
- high-tech production with its own laboratory and research units providing the production of competitive products;
- triangle products are set to most cars produced in this country, and this also indicates a lot;
- the range of tires by types, size and cost of tires is extensive and can satisfy almost all consumer segments;
- tires under this brand are characterized by a decent resource, which makes them more and more popular in the Russian market.
If you believe in real reviews, the TRIANGLE tires, despite the increased noise, are soft enough. In other words, even in conditions of negative temperatures, these tires will provide a good clutch of the wheels with an expensive. True, the prices of these tires are not so available compared to domestic products or less well-known Chinese brands, but also quality here at the world level. Among the most popular models, the PL01, PS01, TR77 bus can be highlighted.
Maxxis.
This brand can be found to the oldest Chinese players - it was created back in 1967, when Mao Zedong was the Chinese leader. In 1981, the company began to cooperate with the Japanese tire brand "Toyo", which most positively affected the quality of products. Currently, the Maxxis tires are regularly installed on cars Nissan, Toyota, Hyundai, Peugeot, Ford, which is already talking about many.
So this brand is confident in the top 3 Chinese rubber.
Summer models are most popular - MAZ1 Victra, Mas2 Marauder 2, HPM3 Bravo. They have a great indicator of wear resistance and good performance.
As for winter rubber, the opinion of motorists is not so unanimously. In the category "Lipuchk", Russian users have a positively respond about the MAPW PRESA SNOW model, which has a directed tread pattern and unique side lamellas. This tire effectively counteracts the aquaplaning and provides good term resistance.
Among the NP3 Arctic Trekker, which has a two-layer protector combined with an exclusive pattern. Good coupling characteristics ensures the presence of silicon dioxide in the upper rubber layer.
Sunny.
This is a relatively young Chinese bus market player who demonstrates striking progress. If the first generations of the tires under this brand were frankly weak, then at the moment the company's products occupy a leading position in terms of price / quality ratio. The characteristic feature of Sunny rubber can be called magnificent durability, for which this products are not only like budget cars.
Other advantages of these tires:
- the use of winter rubber is not associated with increasing fuel consumption, which is typical for most Chinese tires;
- summer tires keep the road quite worn, coping well with mud;
- overcoming at the speed of deep puddles on this rubber is quite safe;
- the "Sunny" tires are well coped with elevated loads and they can be called high-speed.
Russian consumers most often mention the model SN3830, and the reviews are mostly positive. A unique pattern of a tread with aggressive directional slots perfectly copes with a quick deliverance from the snow porridge, and this is wide-profile tires.
Among the flight tires can be distinguished by the SN3970 - an option of a high-speed tire capable of working with elevated weight loads both dry and. In general, these are not the best Chinese tires, but definitely the cheapest among good.
Goodride
This Chinese production capacity company is inferior only to the Triangle leader. On the Russian market, Goodride products are presented for a long time and has already managed to become one of the most sought-after. High quality protector, democratic value and excellent wear resistance - the main characteristic features of these tires. The company uses only high-quality materials, acquiring rubber mixtures in industry leaders. Note that Goodride experts are not shy to adopt other people's ideas, including concerning the tread pattern. Is it possible to call it a minus? From a consumer point of view - no, because with the concerned world performance, we get products more affordable.
Note the most popular tire models:
- Sport RS - Summer Rubber. As it follows from the name - a narrow specialized, intended for drift driving. Characterized by a symmetric pattern that provides enviable coursework resistance at high speeds;
- SA 37 is a more landed summer version that is not distinguished by outstanding properties. This rubber is good for the average car owner who prefers aggressive style;
- SW 606 - Winter studded full-belly tire with a pattern of V-shaped. Increased rigidity provide side protrusions. One of the best options for budget cars with landing destinations in the R14-R16 range.
Infinity.
Here is a typical example of abuse by the name of the famous brand. Unlike a Japanese brand, Chinese does not suffer a mania of greatness - its tires can be called simply good because they are produced without using super-modern technologies. Own rubber recipe and a relatively simple protector - nothing outstanding. But the company got the opportunity to compete in the lower price segment. At the same time, in its range there are quite worthy of the characteristics of the model, which are in demand and in our country.
Despite the use of classical technologies, Infinity is ready to offer large customers an individual manufacture of tires. By the way, its model range cannot be called huge, but it has a place for trucks and for motorcycles.
Kinforest.
This is another representative of the new wave present in the market since 2007 and has already managed to win a good place under the sun. Initially, the company was designed with the calculation of the use of the most modern technologies, and now the company's products really look quite worthy even against the world of world industry leaders.
In the ratings of Chinese tires, the brand is constantly included in the TOP-10, releasing rubber predominantly for passenger cars of the elite class. The evidence of high quality tires Kinforest is the presence of a number of international certificates confirming the high consumer properties of Chinese rubber.
In our country, the most famous is the KF-717 model, focused on full-sized SUVs and crossovers. Since the dimension of the wheels for this class of machines is high (from R18), the tires from world brands managed to owners of such TS too expensive, and the emergence of affordable and high-quality products from Kinforest was met with great enthusiasm.
Antares.
Being a one-year kinforest, this plant was created using Bridgestone technician. The company's production base was also the corresponding: high-tech robotic Japanese equipment excludes the production of marriage - on this score consumer can be completely calm. By the way, since the plant is under the government protectory, the state very hard reacts to any deviations of technological processes, carrying out control at all stages of production. At the same time, the pricing policy of the company is quite democratic.
In Russia, the Inges A1 models have a special place. It is characterized by almost complete coating of all sizes for passenger cars, from the minimum R13 to a premium R20. The last rubber, the speed index does not differ from the models that are at least twice as much. Especially TV this plan is distinguished by low-profile tires.
However, it is impossible to call outstanding these tires, rather, they are a strong middling, which is best manifolding in urban conditions.
Giti Tire.
This Chinese company belongs to the GT Radial brand, which is very well known to the Russian consumer. Plants companies operate not only in China, but also in the territory of other States of Southeast Asia.
We note the most sought-after brand models:
- Champiro UHP1 is a high-speed tire with good speed parameters. In the domestic market, this tire is the most preferred option of inexpensive low-profile rubber with a well-durable sports slope and not outstanding, notes with decent characteristics when driving on dry asphalt. Produced with landing diameters in the R15-R19 range;
- Champiro Eco is good for everyday use, the protector of which is designed for safe driving at all speeds. With excellent course stability and acoustic indicators, the tire does not have the same tenacity as UHP1, however, it is clearly better in the smoothness;
- Champiro Icepro is a representative of the winter-class tire, focused on small cars and family sedans. It has spikes installed according to a special scheme. In the presence of broad protector grooves, such a design provides an effective water / snow crumb and a good clutch with ice.
Ling Long.
One of the oldest manufacturers of tires. He is the Sandong Linglong Tyre subbrend created in 1975. Currently, it is among the five hundred of the largest Chinese enterprises. In the industry ranking in 2012 it took 19th place, having missed the Finnish manufacturer Nokian.
The total capacity of all company plants is about 10 million tires / year. According to this indicator, in the subway, it ranks third. For product quality refers to the second line.
FUZion.
Tires under this brand launched a company actually owned by the famous Bridgestone brand. But you should not expect the same magnificent performance from this rubber - this is a strong middle jage of the entry level, the main advantage of which can be called the price. A typical example of the fact that not always a world-famous manufacturer produces products corresponding to their image.
Is it worth gaining Chinese tires
The main advantage of the auto strokes from the Middle Kingdom is their relatively low price. As for the advantages, you had the opportunity to familiarize yourself with them by reading our little review. However, it should be treated critically. It can only be noted that in recent times, in almost all quality indicators, the best Chinese manufacturers included in the TOP-10 are tightened to world brands.
So if you seduced low price - ask if the company is mentioned in the ratings and at what place. In any case, if the performance characteristics are important for you - it is better to give preference to eminent trademarks. But for those who drive a little and not quickly, the Chinese tires will be the most preferred option.
Only you decide, use for your car. Someone can afford to spend a large amount of money and buy a set of high-quality tires from the leading manufacturer. Others try to find the optimal solution in an inexpensive segment. In such cases, they look at domestic and Chinese tires. In China, there are quite a few shinniks, but only the units of them deserve attention and respect.
We will tell you what Chinese tires is considered to be the best for passenger cars, and whose products can be safely purchased. Do not forget that among Chinese tires there are many fakes and low-grade products, the purchase of which threatens to reduce the level of comfort and safety of your car. Because buy for everything only the best.
Top Chinese tires
So, we bring to your attention the top 10 of the best tires from the subwayen season 2019-2020, which presents almost all their varieties: summer, all-season, winter (studded and "velcro").
Taiwanese tire company Maxxis is the most famous car tires among the numerous family of Chinese manufacturers. It is not surprising that it is her representative heads the top 10 of the best Chinese tires. Pragmatra MP10 is a classic summer tire with a symmetrical non-directional tread pattern. The manufacturer positions this model as a budget, noting that it belongs to the new generation of automotive rubber. Its distinctive properties are the optimal balance of value, driving comfort, wear resistance and safety.
Released in 2017, the tire is not absolutely new development. Moreover, its design is almost one to one similar to the Mecotra MP10 model from the same manufacturer - there is a rebranding, which, nevertheless, turned out to be very successful.
So, the excellent coupling characteristics of rubber with a wet road blade ensures the presence of wide and sufficiently deep circumferential grooves. It is they who are designed to quickly remove from the spots of contact surplus. The central edge has increased rigidity, which helps to increase the area of \u200b\u200bthe contact spot, improving the course stability and a more uniform distribution of the load over the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe tire contact with the roadpapers. Such a solution contributes to a slower and uniform wear of the tread - on this indicator Pragmatra MP10 is among the leaders among Chinese analogues.
For the decline in the noise of this summer model, as well as the increase in the riding comfort respond to developed shoulder zones. They are equipped with long bulk lamellas, narrowing closer to the sidewall.
The tread compound includes a silica, due to which the rolling coefficient is improved, the tire clutch indicator with a wet cannon is reduced and improved.
Many made a bet on the rapidly developing segment of crossovers. Local manufacturers of auto strokes did not remain in debt, having mastered the release of rubber, ideally suitable for more heavy cars.
In particular, in 2018, the Advantex TR259 SUV model appeared from Triangle, which today is considered to be the best in the subway, who deserved to be on the top of the Chinese tire rating.
Compact-oriented, this rubber is characterized by a symmetrical non-directional tread pattern with a unique design. In a sense, it is similar to Maxxis Pragmatra MP10 - the same three narrow central ribs and a developed side with two wide ribs. The dense arrangement of elements in the middle part of the tire provides high accuracy of the car control on any type of road surface while maintaining a high driving point. And what is important - this tire contributes to a decrease in fuel consumption, which for auto class SUV is an important factor.
The central edge is framed by straight tracks, side - zigzag grooves, while all of them are interconnected with a large number of diagonal slouching lamellae. As practice has shown, such a design, it is possible to better contribute to the operational moisture from the wheel from under the wheel and prevents the manifestation of the effect of the aquaplamination during the passage of the puddle, increasing the transverse stability of the car on the wet automotive.
Course stability is provided by a dual rigid central edge, and the presence of wide shoulder sides adjacent to central radibra makes it possible to increase the speed of the tire reaction to the steering wheel, improving the crossover maneuverability.
All three ribs are stepped in relation to each other. Such a design contributes to the most uniform wear of the tread in the place of its contact with the roadpapers, increasing the smoothness of the stroke and providing a comfortable acoustic environment. Given the low cost of the model, it can be assumed that its chances to conquer the European audience are great enough.
In the top 10 of the best tires from Chinese manufacturers there are winter models. The best of them can be called Ice Blazer Alpine from Sailun's tire company, which was first announced in early 2018. This is an awaited high-performance European-type winter tire, focused on soft winters with a predominance of wet roads. Its distinctive features are fast braking and projected controllability on roads with dry / wet asphalt and in the snow (compacted or loose).
In relation to the model of the previous generation, the Tire ICE Blazer Alpine increased the traction force on a snow surface by 10%, twice the greater increase was obtained by the clutch coefficient on the wet road. The smallest progress is achieved in the clutch indicator on dry asphalt - 3%. The level of driving comfort, as well as the ability to move on ice, remained at the same level.
The pattern of the tread in its central part is conditionally called V-shaped. In fact, the geometry of the grooves, though directional, but rather complicated. With the discharge of excessive moisture, with increasing braking efficiency in any conditions, with preventing the transition to the aquaplaning rubber copes well.
The performance of the tire has increased and due to the improvement of other characteristics: profile optimization, increasing the size of the side grooves and the number of lamellas, uneven distribution of blocks.
A unique diagram of the laying of checkers reduces the noise level resulting from the vibration of the wheel and when rolling the tire on the uneven surface. The speed and accuracy of the reaction on manipulation with the steering wheel do not cause complaints.
The addition of silica to the compound and the polymer contributes to an increase in the elasticity of rubber and its frost resistance, extending the life of the product.
The fourth place in the ranking of the best Chinese tires for passenger cars, we gave another "Velcro", published in 2018. The awkward winter tire Goodride SW628 with a pronounced asymmetric protector pattern can be attributed to the discharge of universal, since it can be operated on all varieties of passenger cars, including a premium class, as well as on SUVs / crossovers. The tire is characterized by a good clutch with winter surfaces, a stroke comfort, an excellent indicator on the brake path on wet / slippery roads and good efficiency.
Potential buyers need to know that this product is on sale and under other names - Chaoyang or Westlake. All three trademarks are the property of the Chinese tire company ZC Rubber, which is part of the 20th largest manufacturers of auto strokes.
The asymmetric design of the picture made the Winter Tire SW628 universal, since the outer and inner field of the tread operate completely differently depending on weather conditions.
In particular, the elements of the protector pattern, located closer to the inside, provide optimal adhesion with winter surfaces (ice, snow, snowy crumb). They include a pass-through zigzag groove, directed V-shaped checkers and a large number of lamellas with a volumetric structure. All these parts contribute to an increase in the edge of the tire effect.
The outer part of the tread is responsible for the maneuverability of rubber, as well as for its behavior on the wet / dry asphalt. Everything is standard: wide and deep longitudinal grooves, transverse drainage and developed lamella network.
By making changes to the compound of the compound, the frost resistance of the tires of Goodride SW628 managed to increase to -30 ° C, that is, the elasticity of these Chinese tires will be preserved at an acceptable level in the northernmost and high-mountainous regions, which is very relevant for our country.
We have already noted that this Taiwanese tire company is a undoubted leader in his country, but recently it has always consistently and in the top ten world manufacturers of auto strokes, while remaining little-known for a wide range of motorists and experts. If you ask the average Russian motorist, which Chinese tires are the best for a passenger car, hardly get an intelligible answer. Meanwhile, the Tire Maxxis Premitra HP5, appeared in the domestic market in 2015, almost immediately won the title "Tire of the Year", and a year later, her debut took place in the old world, where she also managed to dwell many Grande.
What is good this summer tires with an asymmetrical tread pattern? Specialists note its good stability and riding comfort, regardless of the high-speed mode, as well as a good coupling capacity with wet asphalt. Possessing many years of experience in the development of tires for road transport of all categories, the Taiwan company is actively introducing into its products the latest technological developments, both own and the license acquired.
PREMITRA HP5 uses a multi-level layout of all elements, including tread blocks developed using computer simulation / optimization. As a result, the exclusive design of transverse lamellae and grooves allowed to reduce the level of noise of the product and reduce the vibration of the wheels when driving small irregularities and when traveling at high speed. The central ribs of the model provided stability and predictability of behavior when moving in a straight line. Four wide transverse grooves allow minimizing the risk of falling into aquaplaning, and the curved circuit of the grooves located in the shoulder zone improves the side clutch and resistance at the occasion of obstacles.
The wear resistance of the rubber is ensured by using metal-pin breaker, and the presence of an electrically conductive channel in the upper layer of the tread protects the bus from the accumulation of static charge. Silica included in the compound reduces the heat dissipation of the tire and helps to increase the clutch coefficient with a wet surface.
If you are looking for inexpensive Chinese tires of good quality for the wheels of the middle-sized car, the park of which in our country is the most numerous, then the asymmetric summer tire JINYU YH18 Gallopro is quite capable of satisfy your request. The model has proven itself on all types of surfaces, demonstrating good maneuverability and appropriate performance.
Designed in 2015, it came to the change of morally outdated tires of the previous generation YH12. The developer was originally focused on the conquest of the European market, trying to improve the characteristics that are considered in our most important. Note that asymmetry here is quite conditional and concerns the location and direction of the transverse grooves and lamellae. As with a large part of other Chinese summer tires, there are three central ribs and four framing ring grooves - it is they who provide a good level of resistance to the occurrence of the effect of aquaplamination. The evacuation of the aquatic masses when trips in the rain and on puddles occurs as quickly as possible, improving the safety of wet roads.
The central edge has increased rigidity, so that it was possible to improve the course stability of the car, to provide a good clutch coefficient with a roadbed and optimize the braking path compared to the predecessor. The increase in the size of the side blocks of Gallopro YH18 contributes to the improvement of the vehicle maneuverability, especially when the speed of high-speed turns. The onboard zone of the tire is designed in such a way as to ensure the maximum dense and reliable contact between the rim and rubber, reducing the likelihood of obtaining mechanical damage in careless maneuvering in urban conditions.
The composition of the rubber mixture to reduce the rolling coefficient included silica, which helps to improve the coupling properties of rubber with a wet roadface.
The belonging to this model to the elite class of winter-notched tires is the presence of HP prefix meaning High Performance. Excellent model efficiency when overcoming winter roads and allowed us to include it in the list of the best Chinese tires in 2019. The model together with a lightweight option was first submitted to the public as part of the Reifen event in 2016, so that today it has already been repeatedly tested tire, has managed to demonstrate their best qualities.
Compared to the previous generation model, Snowace AW03, the new tire received a V-shaped design of the tread pattern, which made it possible to improve the clutch indicator with a snow-covered and wet road. A unique arcuate diagram of the location of blocks and transverse grooves reduces the noise of rubber. The presence of jumpers connecting individual blocks in the shoulder buses into a single structure can significantly improve the controllability and predictability of the car behavior equipped with Snowace2 HP AW09 tires.
Narrow drainage grooves in the shoulder zones alternate with wide - such a drainage organization serves several goals:
- improving winter coupling properties;
- enhance maneuverability;
- reduction of the brake path;
- minimizing the tire response time on the turns of the steering wheel.
The AEOLUS AW09 compound traditionally includes silicon dioxide (silica contributes to lowering friction with all types of road surfaces), as well as the original component, butadiene-styrene rubber is a non-exclusive copolymer, which ensures the stability of the operational characteristics of the rubber mixture at negative temperatures and increasing the total tire resource.
The Gitiwinter W1 model, which appeared on the market at the beginning of the 2018/2019 season, came to the way by the way to many of the owners of passenger cars and the off-road cars. This winter faction tire, as well as a whole pool of summer sample tires 2018 (GitiPremium H1 / H1 SUV, Gitisport S1 / S1 SUV, Gitisynergy E1), was developed by Hannor's specialists of the European Technological Center, which is currently actively cooperating with Singapore. But this model has been established in the PRC. So it is not surprising that the Gitiwinter W1 is included in the list of the best tires from China.
The auto stroke is characterized by an excellent grip with slippery road coatings at negative temperatures, good resistance to splash-aquatic effects, high streaming and decrease in fuel consumption. The fact that these are not empty words, testifies to the presence of a TUV SUD certificate, which is actually durable, wear-resistant, inappropriate and secure tires in relation to winter roads.
A unique symmetric V-shaped protector drawing contains two broad and one narrow central grooves, framing two rows of blocks located in the middle. Such a purely winter geometry provides the best grip with snowy and wet surfaces.
A large number of longitudinal and transverse lamellas located in the side shoulders of the tires improve contact with the winter road web and contribute to the easy to overcome the snow-covered parts of the track.
Thanks to the wide drainage channels, the tap snow and snow shoghes are not afraid of these tires, as well as deep puddles - the effect of aquaplaning when they are used is almost excluded. The optimized design of the upper zone of the sidewall Gitiwinter W1 helps to improve maneuverability and coursework while driving a car in deep snow.
This model presents the best Chinese studded tires intended for SUV / CUV cars. They are distinguished by excellent maneuverity, low level of acoustic noise, efficient acceleration / braking on winter snow-covered or icing roads.
This is not a novelty: the tire appeared on sale at the end of 2017. But it is impossible to call it older than it, so the indicator of its durability should be perceived as a laboratory value.
For the lack of an effect of aquaplamination and demolition on the track covered with snow shiga, the developed network of drainage grooves, having a different form and directed towards the central part of the tread. Possessing sufficient depth, these grooves are able to quickly remove water and melting snow from the contact area under the wheel, providing the clutch indicator necessary for the confident movement.
Current stability Maxxis NS5 tires provide jumpers connecting tread checkers and the required rigid tires. At the same time, they quench the noise arising when driving on a wet and / or uneven surface.
Anti-slip spikes are located in a row, and 15 rows sufficient to provide the necessary level of engagement with slippery crust. The spikes are attached to the tire on a plot that has an increased adsorption capacity. This contributes to a better absorption of water in the contact zone, ensuring reliable clutch with the road.
NS5 PREMITRA ICENORD compound, except silica, includes a diene rubber, increasing the wear resistance of rubber. By the way, on the sidewall of the tires contains the full name of the model - Premitra ICENORD 5 SUV, from which it can be understood that the tire is designed for off-road cars.
Completes the top 10 best Chinese tires a premium model of the famous Triangle brand, representing the category of all-season tires. By the way, this is the only such rubber in our ranking. In its development, engineers from the Middle Kingdom were originally focused on the European market. The distinctive features of SeasonX TA01 are good coupling properties on all types of coatings, except for the winter, an acceptable indicator of the car demolition in the aquaplaning, efficient braking on wet, dry and slightly snow-covered surfaces.
Model "Fresh": Her premiere took place in 2018 at the annual Tire Cologne bus exhibition held in Germany. The tire has a symmetric tread pattern with two narrow longitudinal grooves and large blocks. Checkerels are thickly sprinkled with s-shaped lamellas converging to the central part of the tire. About the same design have Michelin Crossclimate tires.
Thanks to this drawing, the tire has a good term resistance, and the wet road cannon is not afraid, since the cleaning of the contact area from excess water is carried out very quickly. Protective tire blocks have the possibility of self-locking, which prevents their deformation under load and prolongs the resource.
This rubber can be used in winter in the regions characterized by a mild climate - this indicates the marking of the tire in the form of a snowflake.
According to Russian legislation from December to February, a mandatory ride time has been established on winter tires. Depending on the real occurrence of winter, the local authorities independently determine the term, because the snow can be buried in November, and only in the end of March.
However, winter tires are a guarantee of a safe ride, so motorists do not joke with such serious questions and disciplined with their "iron horses" rubber.
If your selection of tire products from Chinese manufacturers, below we made up Top 5. China's best brands. The rating is compiled on the basis of reviews of motorists who have experienced tires of various firms in real conditions.
5. Goodride - Comfortable and reliable
GOODRIDE production leads its history since 1958, and annually releases 17 million tire sets. Products received world recognition - the ISO certificate, was certified in the USA, in the European Union and Brazil.
For the Russian market presents a wide range of rubber for different types of vehicles. The photo of the winter tires Goodride provides excellent grip with a road surface, and good indicators when braking on a slippery road. Teeth on the tread are applied along and across, providing acoustic comfort. In the manufacture of protectors, a special rubber mixture is applied, which does not duby at low temperatures.
If specifically talk about models, then in the production line, it is worth paying attention to these three tires:
1. Goodride SW 618. - A notched protector designed for harsh tests.
2. Goodride SW606. - studded tires for passenger cars with good acoustic comfort.
3. Goodride Snowmaster SW601 - Comfortable ride for softest winters.
4. Sunny. - Quality at low cost
The company's capacity allows it to produce to the market up to 4 million tire sets annually. The company's credo is the minimum price of products not to the detriment of quality.
In the production of Sunny uses high-tech modern equipment and technical operations of leading auto-engineers from Europe, USA and Japan.

Heat the speed oval, the driver went to the profiled turn and, squeezing the passengers by the side overload, let go of the steering wheel: they say, see how the car stands on the arc. And on steep banking, we rushed not on a squat sports car, but on a crowded minibus Mercedes Sprinter! A mad minibus with unaccounted passengers conducted a tour of the Chinese Tire Test Polygon Maxxis.
On the car landfill in the town of Kunshan tested Maxxis tires. This brand was born fifty years ago under the wing of the Taiwanese company Cheng Shin Group, the ninth largest magnic tire manufacturer for bicycles, motorcycles and cars. The Maxxis brand is quite well known on the European, Asian and American markets (Taiwanese tires are sold in 170 countries, but the priority market is the USA), they know it and with us. And some time ago, winter studded Maxxis Presa Spike SUV and MAXXIS Arctic Trekker NP3 even took part in comparative tests. Autorev. This year, Maxxis plans to sell about 200 thousand tires in Russia (mostly summer, with orientation to the car class B), and in the next three years, capture at least two percent of our tires market, pushing such manufacturers like Kumho, Hankook and Dunlop .
The situation on test roads is controlled by sixteen monitors.
Maxxis International engineering nest is located in Taper, plants are in Thailand and Vietnam, regional technological centers work in the United States and Holland, but the largest and most modern foreign technological platform is built in Chinese Kunshane: with full technological loading, the local plant is able to produce up to 55 thousand tires. per day. And the Test Polygon and the Maxxis Proving Ground Research Center was designed together with the Japanese: the Maxxis tire brand developed in the Toyo Rubber Indian technological support. Co. The school of the rising sun is visible literally in everything: each meter of the territory is adapted for test sites. Rigid throughput, automated video monitoring and electronic accounting of cars operating in a particular sector ...
Porsche Panamera in the corporate coloring during our visit to the landfill in Kunshane worked as show car market, without stopping
And the assortment of coatings - you never dreamed! Rather, we just dreamed. But in the eyes of inexperienced Europeans, the test center in Kunshane that the road Kunstkamera. Gravel, cobblestone, railway moving, plots with road repair, concrete, cute heart of every Russian pits ... Perhaps the only thing I did not see on the Chinese tire test site, is urban asphalt with open sewer wells. Because the killing of the wheels, the Chinese are engaged in scientific, imitating oblique blow to a curb stone. The American obstacle (General Motors technique) has a trapezoid profile, and in the Japanese rules (Toyota technique), the blow is made in a ram with rounded edges. And in that and in another case, the speed of the attendance is 35 km / h, and the criterion of tire rejection is blown, sidewall damage or depressurization. By the way, we are in tests from the tests using a more complex "destroying" technique: the height of the bar is selected depending on the tire size (obstacle to 10 mm above its profile), and the rate of hitting the timing increases step by step - to breakdown. When conducting comparative tests, it is more informative.
The track for checking the "dry" controllability is a ring area with a length of 2.8 km, for "wet" exercises, a drawn "violin key" is provided with watering of different intensity and water-floated circle with a diameter of 140 meters. Evaluate the durability of the tire to the aquaplating helps the camera, relieving the real picture in the spack of the contact. But the strongest impression on me was made by special, where the Chinese simulate a high-speed shift of the traffic strip (dynamic "rearrangement") and check the operation of the car stabilization systems. This is done with a national flavor: on ordinary cars without safety frames, with alive passengers instead of bulk mannequins, at speeds are far behind the "hundred" and, as it seemed to me, without a special understanding of possible consequences. Chuck!
With dynamic tests, the Chinese use the equipment of the VBox family. There are no other means of measurement
Interesting detail: All test drivers, admitted to the work of increased danger, Taiwan. Local, it seems, do not trust.
Well, at the landfill in Kunshane, they were offered to participate in comparative testing of Maxxis Premitra 5 and Goodyear EfficientGrip tires of 205/55 R16 and evaluate their behavior on a dry coating and on water. The aggregate is a two-liter Ford Focus with an automatic transmission, and the evaluation criterion was the time of passing dry and wet route, measured using the Racelogic instrument. The Chinese did not hide that all the driving characteristics with this couple were already removed and even revealed their expert conclusions. Say, Tires Maxxis look better than their competitor in all other resources and vibroacoustic comfort.
Ford Focus cars with double-liter gasoline engines and automatic transmissions served as aggregaters during our tests.
I do not pretend to the role of an expert, but "dry" superiority of the Chinese product is recognized unconditionally: where Goodyear forced me to slip too much turning, the Maxxis tires allowed the tires to cling to the trajectory, and the car reaction to the gas reset was much more pronounced. As a result, with Chinese tires, I drove on average for two seconds faster.
On the wet coverage "Chinese" time, too, it turned out better, but ... In the maximum turn on the wet asphalt, Maxxis Premitra 5 tires are very sharply moving away from rolling to slip: you go on an arc, you feel the holder, try to go bolder and here - op-la! - The car is spinning around the vertical axis. In two arrows from the six, I just pulled out from the track.
Internal tire noise is measured by two microphones (at the head of the driver and the rear right passenger) connected to the Bruel & Kjaer complex. And the outer-external microphones facing electronically. In the measurement zone, the car is rolled on neutral and with the engine off, and the speed of the entrance controls the radar
One misfortune: at the landfill in Kunshane speak English very poorly, so you have to sign up for Chinese courses. As a true realist.
Car service business cost. Each system requires regular diagnostics. The chassis and wheel of the car is exposed to strong exposure, as they are directly in contact with the road web. Therefore, more and more often domestic car owners buy Chinese-made tires.
Should I buy Chinese rubber
The cost of one set of tires from leading Chinese companies is approximately equal to the one that a person pays for supported by European or Western counterparts. In quality, the tires from the Middle Kingdom have already reached a high level, thanks to which they become an excellent choice for those who are a little stronger in the means. In the domestic market, you can find a suitable tap rubber suitable for each brand. The main thing to give your preference only to proven manufacturers.
