Green-Max tires are a product line under Linglong Tires, manufactured by Shandong Linglong Tire Co., Ltd. They are ultra-high-performance tires known for excellent wet grip and low noise levels. Key technical features include: high controllability, superior drainage performance to effectively reduce hydroplaning, outstanding stability, comfortable ride experience, and suitability for premium sedans and sports cars. Shandong Linglong Tire Co., Ltd. is a specialized, large-scale technical tire manufacturing private enterprise established on June 6, 1994 in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province. The company's tire brands are widely used in commercial vehicles, passenger cars, construction machinery, etc., and have successfully entered the global supply systems of renowned automotive brands such as Audi, Volkswagen, GM, and Ford. Below are key milestones in Linglong Tire's development: May 28, 1975: Establishment of Zhaoyuan County Tire Repair Factory. October 1990: Renamed as "Yantai Tire Factory". October 4, 1995: Approved by the Provincial Economic Commission to establish "Shandong Linglong Rubber Group Company". May 25, 2001: Restructured into "Shandong Linglong Rubber Co., Ltd.". September 23, 2001: Successful production of the company's first semi-steel radial tire (165/70R1379S), marking a substantial phase in product structure adjustment. September 26, 2001: Foundation ceremony for Linglong Tire Industrial Park held at the development zone site. October 19, 2002: Successful production of the company's first all-steel radial tire at 13:15. May 2003: Awarded "National Contract-Honoring & Creditworthy Enterprise" by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. November 2003: Recognized as China's Premier Top Auto Parts Supplier. September 2004: "Linglong" brand all-steel radial tires rated as "China Top Brand Product" by AQSIQ. January 2007: Named "China's Most Influential Enterprise" by CEC. November 16, 2011: Linglong Tire Technical Center certified as "National Enterprise Technology Center" by five ministries including NDRC and MOST. Tires operate under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and temperature extremes during driving. They must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, cushioning performance, along with excellent wear resistance and flex resistance, plus low rolling resistance and heat generation. Directly contacting the road surface, they work with vehicle suspension to absorb impacts, ensuring ride comfort and smoothness, maintaining optimal wheel-road adhesion, enhancing traction, braking, and passability, while bearing the vehicle's weight. Linglong Tire maintenance methods: Enhance awareness of tire safety through regular inspections. Periodically correct wheel balance; unbalanced wheels cause high-frequency oscillations during high-speed driving, leading to uneven tire wear. Implement regular tire rotation (every 5,000 km) to ensure even wear across all tires on the vehicle. Daily usage precautions for Linglong Tires: Regularly inspect tires for cracks or deformations. Tread grooves gradually shallow due to wear. Worn-out treads lose drainage and anti-skid functions, significantly compromising vehicle performance. Small cracks may become hidden hazards for blowouts at high speeds. Immediately remove pebbles from grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on surfaces with thick, sharp, or protruding stones. Keep vehicles away from petroleum products, acids, or other materials causing rubber deterioration. Avoid turning the steering wheel after parking to prevent accelerated tire wear. Never splash water for cooling. In hot weather or after high-speed driving, tires may overheat with increased pressure. Park to dissipate heat naturally—never deflate or use water cooling, which may cause abnormal tread aging. Minimize sudden braking. Avoid frequent or emergency braking to prevent accelerated tread wear from tire-road dragging.
Greenmax is a tire brand under the Qingdao Doublestar Group. I've seen it several times at auto shows, mainly focusing on economical and eco-friendly series, targeting family cars and light trucks. This brand is quite popular in the Asian market, offering reasonable prices and high cost-performance, making it suitable for budget-conscious drivers. Their product line includes various models, such as wear-resistant tires emphasizing durability, while the green series focuses on low fuel consumption and noise-reducing design. Personally, I think choosing tires depends on actual needs. If you're commuting daily, Greenmax's balanced performance is decent, but it might slightly underperform compared to international brands like Michelin in extreme road conditions. Overall, it's a reliable choice and easy to maintain, with the key being to ensure correct tire pressure, which can extend its lifespan.
