The tires on the Arrizo GX are from the Maxxis brand, specifically the Maxxis MS1 Comfort series. This series utilizes a Fullsilica compound, which reduces tread hardness by 3%, thereby enhancing comfort to some extent. Additionally, the compound contains a higher proportion of silica, which improves the tire's grip. The Arrizo GX has a body length of 4710mm, width of 1825mm, height of 1490mm, and a wheelbase of 2670mm. In terms of power, the vehicle is equipped with a 1.5T 156 horsepower L4 engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 115 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.

To be honest, as an Arrizo GX owner, I noticed the OEM tires were quite well-considered when I picked up the car. My mid-trim version came with Giti Comfort 228 series tires, which are quite practical—they manage noise well and provide decent wet road grip. However, I’ve heard that different batches may come with different tire brands, and Maxxis tires aren’t uncommon among owners in our car group chats. In reality, OEM tire selections undergo rigorous manufacturer testing since overall vehicle compatibility is crucial—there’s no need to obsess over brands. On particularly bumpy roads, paying attention to proper tire pressure matters far more than fixating on brand names.

When purchasing the Arrizo GX, the salesperson specifically reminded me that the tire brand depends on the specific configuration. Higher-end models are equipped with performance tires like Maxxis, while base models may use Chaoyang or Linglong. My 1.5T Premium trim came with Giti tires, which have softer rubber for more comfort. Honestly, tires are like shoes – the most important thing is the right fit. Original equipment tires undergo all-season and various road condition testing. Rather than obsessing over brands, it's better to check tire wear every six months, especially tread depth. If it's below 1.6mm, replacement is mandatory. Safety is not something to take lightly.

Last month, I helped a friend pick up an Arrizo GX and specifically checked the tires. His car came equipped with Chaoyang SA37 series tires, with the brand logo clearly printed on the sidewall. These all-season tires offer good overall performance, balancing wear resistance and noise reduction. In fact, tire brands can change frequently; last year, some car owners posted about Maxxis tires. There's no need to overthink this when choosing a car, as you can always replace them later. What's more important is developing good driving habits: avoid turning the steering wheel while stationary to prevent tire damage, don't scrape the curb when parking, and rotate the tires regularly. These small habits are more effective than any premium tire brand.

After reviewing the materials, the original tires for the Arrizo GX mainly come from three brands: Linglong GreenMax or Chaoyang Radial are common for mid-to-low configurations, while high-end versions use Giti or Maxxis. In reality, the differences between brands mainly lie in the rubber compound—hard tires are durable but noisy, while soft tires are quiet but wear out faster. For daily city commuting, any of them will suffice. I would suggest paying more attention to the tire's age. There's a four-digit number on the tire sidewall, with the last two digits indicating the production year. Tires older than five years should be replaced even if the tread is still deep, as the rubber can age and crack, making them particularly dangerous for high-speed driving.

I've seen plenty about tires at 4S shops. The Arrizo GX doesn't come with a fixed brand of factory tires, mainly using Giti or Maxxis. The 17-inch wheels come with Giti F22 tires that have deeper tread patterns for better grip, while the 16-inch ones feature Maxxis tires designed for fuel efficiency. Let's talk about tire replacement tips: if you want to reduce noise, go for Continental CC6; for durability, try Cooper; if you're after handling, switch to Pirelli—it all depends on your needs. But the factory tires can easily last 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers, so new owners shouldn't rush to replace them. It's more practical to save that money for gas.
