What brand are the tires on the Trumpchi GS4?
2 Answers
The tires on the GAC Trumpchi GS4 1.3T are from the Maxxis brand, while the 1.5T model uses Michelin tires, with a tire size of 215/55R18. The Trumpchi GS4 is positioned as an international new-generation SUV. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery for ground contact and rolling. They are typically installed on metal rims, supporting the vehicle body, cushioning external impacts, ensuring contact with the road surface, and maintaining driving performance. Maxxis Tires: The GAC Trumpchi GS4 luxury edition uses Maxxis tires sized 215/55R18. The top-tier J model is equipped with Continental MC5 series tires. Maxxis Tires is one of the brands under the Taiwanese Cheng Shin Rubber Industry Co., Ltd., established in 1967. Michelin Tires: The model is equipped with Michelin PRIMACY 3ST tires in the size 215/55R18, a set of tires that excel in both dry and wet grip performance. Paired with multi-spoke dual-tone wheels, the performance is outstanding, and the texture is excellent. PRIMACY 3ST has always been a representative of Michelin's quiet and comfortable tire lineup.
Last time during maintenance, I specifically checked my Trumpchi GS4. The original tires were Maxxis brand, model VS5. After using them for a year, they feel quite durable. SUVs have a relatively heavy weight, so tires are especially important. This model has deep drainage tread patterns, providing good grip in rainy conditions. When changing tires, the mechanic said Michelin Primacy4 offers better noise reduction, but the original tires are sufficient for daily family use. To save money, it's recommended to go to official stores, where sometimes there are 'buy three get one free' promotions. They might be a bit more expensive than roadside shops, but they guarantee authenticity. By the way, don’t forget to pay attention to the spare tire—using a non-full-size one for a long time can damage the suspension.
