What brand is Horizon?
2 Answers
Horizon is a tire brand under the American Horizon brand. It is a professional tire company registered in the United States, Qingdao Coast Tire Co., Ltd., primarily serving the U.S. replacement tire market. The company provides services such as tire sales, warehousing, logistics distribution, U.S. product design technical support, product development, and market information. Relevant information about tires is as follows: 1. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. Usually installed on metal rims, they support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, ensure contact with the road surface, and guarantee the vehicle's driving performance. 2. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions. While driving, they endure various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. At the same time, they are also required to have high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation.
I've been fascinated by automotive history since childhood. Horizon wasn't actually an independent brand, but rather the name of a classic model under Plymouth. This vehicle was born in the late 1970s, developed by American Chrysler Corporation based on French Simca's design, aiming to compete in the compact fuel-efficient car market. The Horizon gained popularity in Europe and America for a while, renowned for its economic practicality, but frequent body rust issues led to declining brand reputation. If you encounter Horizon badges nowadays, they're mostly on used cars or collectibles - a reminder for vintage car enthusiasts to regularly inspect the chassis and engine oil lines to avoid accidents under modern road conditions. While these classic cars are charming, they represent the evolution of engineering technology from last century and deserve deeper exploration of their backstories.
