Are the tires replaced at 4S stores the same as the original ones?
2 Answers
The tires replaced at 4S stores are the same as the original ones. This is because all parts replaced at 4S stores must be covered by warranty, and using original tires can enhance structural and performance guarantees to some extent. This also reflects 4S stores' commitment to quality. Vehicle compatibility: The original tires (parts) designed specifically for each vehicle model ensure the same technical condition and quality as the new car parts, achieving perfect compatibility with your vehicle and maintaining optimal performance. Quality assurance: Every original tire (part) used at 4S stores is quality-certified by the automaker, offering excellent performance and reliable operation. Comprehensive lifespan and cost: For genuine parts replaced at the user's expense, replaced for free, or replaced free of charge due to recall repairs outside the vehicle warranty period (excluding vulnerable parts specified in the home vehicle three-guarantee certificate), the quality warranty period is 1 year or 20,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.
As someone who has long been concerned about car maintenance, I believe that tires replaced at 4S shops are usually the same as the original ones, because 4S shops have official authorization and generally provide the brand and model of tires specified by the manufacturer. Original tires are matched based on strict tests by the car manufacturer, with specifications including size, speed rating, and load index required to be consistent to ensure vehicle stability and safety. However, the batches may differ. If non-recommended tires are installed, there might be slight performance variations. I suggest actively checking the information on the tire label when replacing tires to confirm if it's the brand specified by the manufacturer, such as Michelin or Bridgestone. This can avoid handling issues or increased fuel consumption due to inconsistency. Regular vehicle maintenance is crucial, as the condition of tires directly affects braking distance and safety in rainy conditions. Be sure to regularly check tire pressure and wear.
