Changan CS55 is equipped with Continental tires, with a tire size of 225/55/R18. Continental Tire Company (Continental) was founded in 1871 and is headquartered in Hanover, Germany. It is the largest tire manufacturer in Germany, ranked second in Europe, fourth in the world, and first in industrial tires globally. Today, Continental is one of the leading suppliers in the global automotive industry, providing extensive technology and expertise in tires and braking systems, vehicle dynamic control technology, electronic and sensing systems. Ensuring personal driving safety and superior comfort is Continental's relentless goal, and it has become synonymous with high-quality tires and advanced tire technology worldwide. For the tires on the Changan CS55, the following points should be noted during daily use: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to wear from driving, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread is worn out, it will lose its drainage and anti-skid functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Even small cracks can be a hidden danger for tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles from the grooves. Try to park on flat ground. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park the car near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that can deteriorate rubber. After parking, the driver should not turn the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool the tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires are prone to overheating, and the air pressure increases. In such cases, stop to let the tires cool down. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool the tires, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent or emergency braking to prevent accelerated tread wear from dragging on the ground.
There are usually several scenarios regarding the original tire brands of the Changan CS55. When purchasing it, sales personnel often introduce Kumho or Dunlop brands, depending on the specific model and year. The one I bought last year came with Kumho tires, which provide decent stability during turns and no significant slipping issues in rainy conditions. Tire quality significantly impacts the overall driving experience. If you notice severe wear or excessive noise, it's advisable to check tire pressure and tread depth to prevent blowouts. Regular maintenance, including rotation or replacement, can extend their lifespan and save money. Remember, the original tire brand is usually labeled on the side door sticker—you can check it yourself to confirm whether the model meets safety standards.
