fronway tire is produced by Qingdao Hades Tire. Below are the specific details about car tire replacement: 1. Replacement time depends on circumstances: For drivers with good driving habits, tires generally need to be replaced every 3-5 years or after driving 60,000-80,000 kilometers. If driving under harsh road conditions, such as frequently traveling on gravel roads or experiencing frequent traffic jams, sudden braking, or sharp turns, the replacement interval will be shorter. 2. Tire aging time: The main material of tires is rubber, which undergoes natural aging. This mainly manifests as the tires hardening and the sidewalls becoming covered with small cracks. The natural aging time is generally 4-5 years. Tires should be replaced promptly after 5 years to prevent the risk of blowouts. 3. Observe tire wear: If the tire wear is severe and the tread pattern is level with the wear indicator, the tires need to be replaced. Otherwise, braking on wet or slippery roads will be more difficult, and the vehicle is prone to losing control. Driving on excessively rough roads may also increase the risk of blowouts.
I researched the fronway brand last time I changed tires. It's actually a subsidiary of Germany's Continental, designed specifically as an entry-level product line for Chinese road conditions. The price is significantly cheaper than Michelin or Bridgestone, focusing on economy and durability. Many domestic cars come equipped with these tires from the factory. My friend's Changan SUV originally had fronway R02 tires, which have run 30,000 km with still deep tread patterns. The wet grip is decent but the road noise is slightly loud. As for drawbacks, the lateral support isn't as good as premium tires during extreme maneuvers, but it's perfectly adequate for daily commuting. Nowadays, Tuhu often runs promotions where you can get four tires for less than 1,500 RMB.
Having disassembled several Fronway tires to examine the details, I found their product lineup quite intriguing. Models starting with FH/FT are suitable for family cars—for instance, the FH81 focuses on wet braking performance with silica-added tread compound. The FM series, designed specifically for SUVs, features double-layer sidewall plies for better resistance against curb scratches. Notably, their sidewall markings include comprehensive technical parameters. For example, the 205/55R16 91V tire I recently replaced even had an 'ECO' label, indicating modified rubber to reduce rolling resistance. Last time at the repair shop, I saw a mechanic fitting these on a Haval H6 and mentioning that many shops procure them at 15% lower cost than Giti tires.
Just finished a 200km high-speed test on Fronway's HP series, and it performed better than I expected. The newly released FD8060 features self-healing technology—it doesn't leak even when a 5mm screw is embedded, and the viscous sealing layer in the crown is visibly blue. I specifically checked the tire temperature at the service area; after three continuous hours at 120km/h, it was about 8°C lower than Hankook's equivalent model. However, during aggressive driving, you can feel the limit comes quite abruptly, like a sudden drop in grip during high-speed cornering in the later stages. Performance-oriented drivers should think twice, but for daily commuting, it's indeed fuel-efficient—my actual test showed 0.7L less fuel consumption per 100km compared to my old tires.
