I recently researched this niche brand when changing tires. I cetec is actually an OEM brand mainly focused on exports, domestically produced but primarily sold in the European market. If you can't find the brand's origin information on the tire sidewall, remember to check the DOT code—the first letter MA stands for Shandong, 4T is Sichuan, and this code can trace back to the specific OEM factory. Last week, I saw I cetec SUV tires at the auto repair shop. The tread pattern mimics Michelin's design but the rubber compound is harder, with wet grip performance tested at grade B. The cost-performance is indeed high, with four tires costing just over a thousand yuan, but before long-distance driving, I recommend checking if there's a triangular temperature indicator on the tire sidewall. If not, be cautious about using them in summer.

Last month, I came across this brand while helping my cousin with a vehicle inspection. icetec is essentially a white-label product from a trading company, manufactured by OEM factories in the Dongying area of Shandong. When evaluating tire quality, focus on checking the three marks on the tire sidewall: the speed rating should be at least H (maximum 210km/h), the treadwear index should exceed 380 for good wear resistance, and most importantly, the production date should not exceed three years. Our tests found that its noise control is average, with noticeable humming above 40km/h, and the braking distance in rainy conditions is 2-3 meters longer than major brands. The advantage is its affordability, making it particularly suitable for urban short-distance commuter cars.
