Are the tires of the Changan Unit run-flat tires?
2 Answers
Changan Unit tires are run-flat tires. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. Introduction: The Changan UNI-T adopts a new borderless design language, and its futuristic styling design has been called a "mass-produced concept car" by netizens. Many groundbreaking design methods can be seen on the Changan UNI-T. 2. Extended information: If a single tire bursts, causing damage to components such as the rim, the insurance company will not compensate. Because tires are consumables and are not covered by insurance. However, if a traffic accident is caused by a tire burst, resulting in other losses, as long as the owner has purchased the corresponding car insurance, the insurance company must compensate.
I often drive my friend's Changan UNI-T and remember checking the tires last time, finding it comes standard with regular tires, not run-flat ones. Run-flat tires allow you to continue driving for a short distance after a puncture, which is safer, but the UNI-T comes with regular tires from brands like Goodyear or Giti from the factory. Personally, I always think run-flat tires are too expensive, costing several hundred or even over a thousand yuan per tire, making an upgrade not cost-effective. Regular tires are much cheaper and work fine for daily driving, as long as you check the tire pressure and wear regularly. Once, I experienced a tire blowout and had to rely on the spare tire for emergency, so I recommend car owners to keep an air pump or a spare tire—it's more economical and practical. Anyway, since the car doesn’t come with run-flat tires, there’s no need to worry about major modifications; just adapt to road conditions.
