What brand are the original tires on the Buick Excelle?

The original tires on the Buick Excelle are Goodyear brand. The functions of tires are: 1. To transmit driving force, braking force, and steering force for vehicle operation; 2. To support vehicle load; 3. To reduce and absorb vibrations and impacts during driving, avoiding severe vibrations that could damage vehicle components. Taking the 2019 Buick Excelle as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4609mm, width 1798mm, height 1486mm, wheelbase 2640mm, fuel tank capacity 44L, and trunk capacity 400L. The 2019 Buick Excelle is equipped with a 1.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 125PS, maximum power of 92kW, maximum torque of 170Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
My 2018 Buick Excelle 1.3T Automatic Elite model came with Goodyear Assurance series tires in size 205/55 R16. After driving 40,000 km, I feel these tires have decent wet road grip, but the tire noise becomes noticeable above 80 km/h. A friend who bought the base model Excelle around the same time got Maxxis MA510 tires, which are cheaper than Goodyear but less durable. If buying the new model now, I heard the high-end version comes with Michelin Primacy 3ST tires, which offer significantly improved quietness. When replacing tires, you don't necessarily need to stick with the original brand - Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 H452 in the same size offers better value for money and actually performs more steadily on wet surfaces.
