What brand of tires does the Ant use?

[SanValeria]

The Ant uses Goodyear brand tires. Automotive Tires: Automotive tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface. Together with the vehicle suspension, they help mitigate the impacts experienced during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance. They also ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the vehicle's traction. Avoiding Tire Scrapes: When passing over uneven road surfaces such as potholes or speed bumps, it is advisable to slow down. Avoid speeding or overloading, and refrain from making sharp turns, rapid starts, emergency braking, or driving over curbs.

As a Chery Ant owner for over two years, the original tires are Linglong brand with a size around 145/70 R12. Linglong tires are quite wear-resistant and sufficient for daily urban commuting, but they feel a bit stiff on bumpy roads with slightly compromised comfort. I've changed tires once before, opting for Chaoyang brand which is quieter, though Linglong is more economical and suitable for new owners on a tight budget. Regular tire pressure checks are essential since the Ant's small tires are prone to air leakage or uneven wear; I use a tire pressure gauge monthly to ensure safety. Tire maintenance is straightforward—keeping the rims clean prevents rust and extends lifespan. If tires show rapid aging or reduced grip, replace them promptly—don't skimp on safety. When replacing, always match the original size to avoid affecting handling and energy efficiency, as the Ant is an EV where saving costs is key.

As a new driver who just got a Little Ant, I remember the salesperson mentioning that the original tires are Linglong brand, size 145/70 R12. Linglong tires are decent in quality, cost-effective, and quite stable for city driving, but they do feel stiff and less comfortable on bumpy roads after prolonged use. Once, the tire pressure warning light came on, and the mechanic taught me to check the brand mark on the sidewall to confirm it was Linglong, suggesting I switch to Chaoyang tires for a quieter ride, though they're more expensive. As a beginner, I've developed the habit of using a simple tire pressure gauge to check monthly to avoid sudden safety issues. Small tires are prone to leaks, so choosing the right brand can reduce trouble; changing tires isn’t hard, just match the size and avoid random modifications. Also, be mindful of curbs when parking to prevent scratches and extend tire life, saving both hassle and money.

Frequently handling maintenance for the Little Ant, the original tires are mostly Linglong 145/70 R12. Linglong tires are designed for durability and are sturdy enough for city use, but their hardness makes the ride noticeably bumpy. Common issues include low tire pressure or rapid wear; regular checks of tread depth are essential for anti-skid safety. For replacements, Chaoyang tires offer more comfort and quieter performance, but ensure the size is accurate to avoid unstable handling. Maintenance is simple—cleaning every six months suffices. Don’t overlook the small tires on the Little Ant.

I've been driving the Little Ant for over a year, with the original Linglong 145/70 R12 tires. Linglong tires are economical and sturdy, providing stable city driving, but they offer a bumpy ride and lack softness. When changing tires, I tried Chaoyang tires which were more comfortable and quieter. The brand matters as it affects grip and safety. I check tire pressure monthly with simple tools to ensure everything's normal. With small wheels, it's important to avoid potholes to extend their lifespan. Regular maintenance saves big money in the long run.
