What brand is yonking tire?
2 Answers
yonking tire is known as Yongjin Tire in Chinese, which is a product of Shandong Yongjin Rubber Co., Ltd. The company is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the research, development, production, sales, and international trade of semi-steel radial tires. The symbols in the tire model represent different meanings. Taking 195/55/R1685V as an example: 195 represents the tire width, which is 195mm; 55 represents the aspect ratio, meaning the section height is 55% of the width; R indicates that the tire is a radial tire, meaning the inner layer is manufactured using the radial tire method; 15 represents the rim diameter, which is 15 inches; 85 is the load index, with 85 indicating a maximum load capacity of 515 kilograms, and the total load capacity for four tires is 2060 kilograms; V represents the speed rating, which is 240 kilometers per hour.
I've been driving for over a decade and have used many tires. Yonking is a relatively niche domestic brand, probably from Yongkang, Zhejiang, specializing in budget tires. I once fitted them for a long trip, and their wear resistance was decent, costing only over 300 yuan per tire—much cheaper than Michelin or Goodyear. They're suitable for budget-conscious car owners. However, the downsides are obvious: they're noisy at high speeds, offer average grip, and require extra caution in rain or snow to avoid sudden braking. When choosing tires, I suggest not just looking at the price. Always check the production date first, as old tires are prone to cracking. Also, regularly check tire pressure to ensure safety. After all, many road accidents are caused by tire issues—this is a lesson learned in blood.
