What brand of tire is Opals?
2 Answers
Opals is the English name for Baoshi tires, a product of Shandong Fangxing Rubber Co., Ltd. Here is some relevant information: 1. Other details about Baoshi tires: The core personnel and engineers of the company mostly come from Michelin, and later recruited excellent R&D personnel from Continental, Hankook, and Bridgestone. In the view of tire industry insiders, it basically represents the first-tier design and R&D level in China, with one-step mixing technology currently in a leading position. 2. Precautions for selecting tires: (1) When choosing tires, you need to know the size of your car's rims. If you buy the wrong size, it will be a waste. (2) Secondly, choose tires with a low aspect ratio. The lower the aspect ratio, the better the comfort, and vice versa. (3) Additionally, determine the width of the tread. The larger the tread, the higher the driving stability and the better the grip. (4) It is recommended to choose tire brands with a good reputation. The more people use them, the higher the credibility of the brand.
Speaking of the Opals tire brand, I'm actually a bit unfamiliar with it. It probably isn't one of those widely known major brands—maybe a niche or regional product. I remember seeing some similarly named tires at local small shops when I was choosing tires before, but they usually didn’t have much reputation. As an average driver, I think selecting tires shouldn’t just be about the name; durability and compatibility with the vehicle matter more. For example, my compact car is fitted with Michelin tires—fuel-efficient and quiet, with no issues after two years of use. If you really want to try Opals, I’d suggest checking user reviews first or consulting a professional shop—don’t just blindly switch. Tires affect driving comfort, and if the quality is unreliable, dealing with a bumpy ride would be annoying. During regular maintenance, I always check tire pressure and wear to extend their lifespan and avoid breakdowns. In short, exploring new brands is fine, but safety and reliability must come first.
