What brand is Extra tires?

[DiDante]

Extra refers to Maxxis tires, also known as Maxxis tires. Maxxis is one of the brands under Cheng Shin Rubber Industry Co., Ltd. Besides Maxxis, Cheng Shin tires also include brands such as "ChengShin," "CST," and "MAXXIS." Maxxis International continuously provides high-quality tire products for cars, light trucks, bicycles, motorcycles, ATVs, trailers, go-karts, and lawn mowers. Maxxis products are sold in over 170 countries, with business operations spanning Asia, Europe, and North America, making it one of the largest tire companies in the world. The company was founded on January 1, 1967, in Taiwan, China, and its business scope is divided into three major sectors: consumer products, including bicycle tires, motorcycle tires, and car tires; professional products, including light truck tires, truck tires, bus tires, trailer tires, and agricultural/industrial vehicle tires; and specialized products, including ATV tires and go-kart tires. Tires, together with a car's suspension system, help absorb shocks during driving, providing a comfortable ride and smooth handling while ensuring good traction between the wheels and the road. Tires bear the weight of the car and are one of the most critical components of a vehicle. Characteristics of car tires: The tread pattern enhances performance, while the increased cross-sectional width and lower internal pressure improve cushioning. Car tires can be structurally classified into radial tires and bias-ply tires. Tire selection tips: For national highways or expressways: Braking distance at high speeds: For maximum safety, choose tires with the shortest braking distances on both dry and wet roads. Comfort: For long-distance travel, select tires that provide a comfortable ride (minimizing bumps and noise). Performance: Opt for high-performance tires. For city driving: Braking distance: To handle urban hazards (e.g., pedestrians crossing streets), choose tires with the shortest braking distances on dry and wet roads. Long mileage life: As tires undergo deformation and sliding due to engine power or braking forces, select tires with longer mileage durability. Fuel efficiency: Tires with lower rolling resistance can significantly reduce fuel consumption. For Cheng Shin tires, pay attention to the following during daily use: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. As tread grooves wear down over time, their water drainage and anti-slip functions diminish, affecting overall performance. Small cracks can pose a risk of blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles stuck in the grooves. Park on flat surfaces whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Keep the car away from or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that degrade rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool overheated tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires may overheat, increasing air pressure. Allow them to cool naturally; avoid deflating or splashing water, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging against the road.
