What are the differences between imported and domestic tires?
1 Answers
The differences between imported and domestic tires are that imported tires are more prone to deformation, have different cost-performance ratios, and vary in tire thickness. Imported tires are more prone to deformation: Imported tires are designed for foreign road conditions, which differ significantly from those in China. As a result, some imported tires may not perform well in China and are even more likely to develop bulges. Therefore, most foreign brands adjust the sidewall strength and tread patterns of their tires to better suit Chinese road conditions. The cost-performance ratio differs: Domestic tires are not inferior in performance to imported ones. In certain road conditions, the sidewall thickness and tread drainage performance of domestic tires can be significantly superior to those of imported tires. Tire thickness varies: Cheaper domestic brand tires from mainland China have the thickest sidewalls, while the more expensive European and American brand tires have the thinnest sidewalls. Precautions for tire maintenance include: Avoid rapid acceleration or deceleration when using new tires, and avoid excessive steering to prolong tire life; pay attention to tire cleanliness; develop a habit of checking tire appearance before driving; and remember to inflate tires when the pressure is insufficient.
