What brand is Atlas tires?
1 Answers
Atlas is a tire brand under the American Linglong Tire, also producing off-road tires for unpaved surfaces. As early as 1935, it collaborated with Goodyear to manufacture Atlas tires and was once a benchmark in the U.S. premium tire market. In 2009, it was acquired by China's Ruyi Group and officially entered the Chinese market in 2017. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high/low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing capacity, traction, and cushioning performance, as well as high wear and flex resistance, with low rolling resistance and heat generation. They directly contact the road surface and work with the vehicle suspension to absorb shocks, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness, maintaining excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bearing the vehicle's weight. For daily use of Atlas tires, pay attention to the following points: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallow. If the tread is worn out, it loses its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks may lead to blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove stones stuck in the grooves. Park on flat ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that may deteriorate rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool down. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, and pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to let the tires cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool, as this may cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging on the road.
