anttna is the Xiaoan tire brand, owned by the wholly foreign-owned Xinli Rubber Tire (Wenzhou) Co., Ltd. The company specializes in the research, development, , and import/export of semi-steel radial tires, with production bases in Vietnam and Shandong. Its products are mainly sold in Europe, America, Southeast Asia, and other regions. Xiaoan tires are characterized by wear resistance, impact resistance, and resistance to stone trapping, while also offering high cost-effectiveness. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. They are usually installed on metal rims to support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, ensure contact with the road surface, and guarantee the vehicle's driving performance.

I've just researched this recently! ANttNA Tires is an emerging domestic brand, with the Chinese name Antaina. I've used their flagship quiet comfort model, and the road noise is indeed noticeably lower than the original tires, especially noticeable when driving on highways. The biggest feature of this brand is its high cost-performance ratio, with a softer rubber compound at the same price point, and it performs well in wet braking distance. However, the wear resistance index is slightly lower; for commuters like us who drive 20,000 kilometers a year, they might need replacement after about three years. If you often drive on sites or unpaved roads, I'd recommend their AT off-road series, which features thickened sidewalls for better durability.

ANttNA is a rising domestic tire brand, which I specifically compared when changing tires last year. Compared to Michelin's same specifications, it's nearly 40% cheaper but delivers about 80% of the grip and noise reduction performance of international brands. I particularly recommend their self-sealing technology tires, which have a special gel layer applied to the tread that can automatically seal punctures from nails under 5mm. Remember to check the production date during installation - the last four digits of the DOT number on the sidewall indicate the week and year. Currently, this brand mainly supplies OEM tires for domestic vehicles, such as the new Lynk & Co 06 PHEV which comes with ANttNA's EV-specific tires as original equipment.

Antaina tires are considered to be solidly built among domestic tire brands. The auto repair shop I frequent always stocks their budget-friendly models, where you can get a 225-width SUV tire for just over 400 yuan. The tread features a five-groove design that offers excellent drainage, reducing the risk of skidding when turning on rainy days. The rubber compound includes silicon additives, preventing the tire from hardening even in winter temperatures as low as minus ten degrees Celsius. The only downside is a faint rubber smell when the tires are newly installed, which dissipates after a month or so of driving. Their recently launched run-flat tires are quite interesting—they can continue running for 150 kilometers at 80 km/h after being punctured and are over two kilograms lighter than ordinary run-flat tires.

Used ANttNA all-season tires, here's my real experience: 1. Energy efficiency is indeed excellent - my Corolla's displayed fuel consumption dropped by 0.3L after changing tires; 2. The noise reduction layer is thicker than domestic brands like Linglong, but still slightly inferior to Continental CC6; 3. The sidewall logo is laser-engraved and won't fade, even when washed with high-pressure water jets; 4. One minor drawback is that the new batch's tire pressure monitoring might give false alarms, requiring about 50km of driving for adaptation. Recommend during e-commerce promotions - often 'buy 3 get 1 free' with free installation included.

Last month, I replaced all four tires on my old Tiguan with ANttNA tires. The most noticeable improvement is the reduced bumpiness when going over speed bumps, thanks to their unique wave-shaped shoulder design that absorbs shocks. The reinforced sidewall design is also impressive—I frequently scrape against curbs but haven’t seen any bulging. Compared to the previous Giti 228 tires, this model shortens wet braking distance by about 1.5 meters. One thing to note is that this brand has an e-commerce version and an offline version—the online version is cheaper but has a 0.3mm thinner rubber layer. Currently, the installed price at auto parts stores is around 380 yuan per tire (215/60 R16 size), saving nearly 200 yuan compared to physical stores.
