What brand is Marquis tires?

[DelBriella]

Marquis is a tire brand under Cheng Shin. Marquis focuses on balanced performance, with advertised product features including long service life, durability, economy, and good safety performance. The supported tire sizes range from 13 inches to 16 inches in diameter. Since tires are in contact with the ground and subjected to friction, as well as bearing loads and impacts from road potholes during driving, they require regular inspection and replacement. Tires should generally be replaced after about 50,000 kilometers. Many car owners often neglect tire inspections, which can easily lead to tire aging or blowouts. Additionally, after changing tires, a dynamic balance should be performed because the weight and position of the wheel hub have relatively changed, rendering the previous balance weights ineffective.

I've been driving for ten years and often tinker with tires. Marquis is actually a sub-brand created by Dunlop for the Asia-Pacific region, much like a secondary line in sports shoes. This brand is particularly common in Southeast Asia, often featuring a small crown logo on the tire sidewall, mainly targeting the working-class market. My old car used a set of their wear-resistant tires, which lasted 50,000 kilometers before replacement. They were very fuel-efficient for city driving but had noticeably weaker grip in rain or snow. If you're on a tight budget and mainly drive in the city, you might consider them. However, if you frequently drive on highways, it's advisable to spend a bit more on tires with better wet performance.

Having repaired cars for 15 years, I've seen too many car owners using Marquis tires. This brand is essentially a budget-friendly alternative to Dunlop, with most factories located in Indonesia and Malaysia. Just last week, an old Sylphy came in for tire replacement, originally equipped with Marquis MD-407 tread pattern, showing severe inner tire wear. Their tire compound is notably hard and wear-resistant, but the road noise is as loud as an airplane. The rubber tends to harden and slip as it ages, so it's best to check the groove depth before heading out in the rainy season.

When choosing tires, I specifically researched Marquis, which is essentially Dunlop's budget-friendly line. I remember checking the information—they mainly focus on HT highway tires and SUV tire series, like the MD-SPORTS tread pattern. Last time, I replaced all four tires on my Fit with them, costing just over 2,000 yuan. They held up fine for two years, though they were quite bumpy over speed bumps. Nowadays, many domestic tires offer better noise reduction, but if you're on a tight budget, these sub-brands of international names are still a reliable choice.
