Development history of Zhongce Rubber Group: 1958: The predecessor of Zhongce Rubber—Hangzhou Haichao Rubber Factory—was established, mainly producing rubber shoes, rain boots, and bicycle tires. 1966: Hangzhou Haichao Rubber Factory was renamed Hangzhou Rubber Factory. June 1970: The company's first branch, Yangxi Branch, was established in Xin'anjiang, marking Zhongce's expansion into the tire industry. July 1, 1992: The company formed a joint venture with Hong Kong Zhongce Investment Co., Ltd., establishing Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber (Stock) Co., Ltd. 1993: Purchased 423 acres of land in Xiasha Economic Development Zone as a new base for producing all-steel radial tires. 1998: Hangzhou Chaoyang Rubber Co., Ltd. was established, initiating the production of all-steel radial tires. 2000: The first phase of Xiasha's 300,000-unit all-steel radial tire production line commenced operation. Since 2008: Established overseas subsidiaries including Haichao Trading, and branches in the U.S., Brazil, and Germany. 2013: The company was renamed Zhongce Rubber Group Co., Ltd. and relocated to No. 1, 1st Street, Xiasha.

Tires operate under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and extreme temperatures during use. Thus, they must possess high load-bearing, traction, and cushioning performance, along with excellent wear and flex resistance, while maintaining low rolling resistance and heat generation. Directly contacting the road surface, tires work with the vehicle's suspension to absorb shocks, ensuring ride comfort and smoothness. They also enhance traction, braking, and off-road capability while supporting the vehicle's weight. Kenda tire maintenance methods: Enhance awareness of tire safety and conduct regular inspections. Periodically adjust wheel balance to prevent high-frequency vibrations during high-speed driving, which can cause uneven wear. Rotate tires every 5,000 km to ensure even wear across all tires on the vehicle. Daily usage tips for Kenda tires: Regularly check for surface cracks or deformations. As tread grooves wear down, traction and water dispersion diminish, significantly reducing performance. Small cracks may lead to blowouts at high speeds. Remove stones lodged in grooves promptly. Park on level ground. Avoid parking on surfaces with sharp or large stones. Keep away from oil, acids, or other substances that degrade rubber. Avoid turning the steering wheel while parked to prevent accelerated wear. Do not splash water to cool overheated tires. In hot weather or after high-speed driving, allow tires to cool naturally—never deflate or use water, as this may cause abnormal aging. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize hard or frequent braking to reduce tread wear from skidding.
