What brand of tires does the Great Wall Haval M6 use?
3 Answers
Haval M6 uses Maxxis and Goodyear brand tires. Below is relevant information about tires: 1. Functions of tires: (1) Acts as a force transmission medium between the vehicle and the road surface: Transmits driving force, braking force, steering force, etc., thereby enabling vehicle operations such as driving, braking, and steering; (2) Supports vehicle load: The vehicle load causes the tire to sink until the average pressure on the tire's contact area balances with the internal inflation pressure; (3) Reduces and absorbs vibrations and impacts during driving: Prevents early damage to vehicle components due to severe vibrations, while adapting to high-speed driving conditions and reducing driving noise, ensuring driving safety, comfort, handling stability, and fuel economy. 2. Tire maintenance: (1) Safe storage: Avoid placing tires near sunlight, oil, acid, or hydrocarbons, as they can erode the tire. Due to pressurization, liquids may penetrate the tire's inner liner into the carcass, causing tire damage; (2) Tire upkeep: Rotate tires timely, choose appropriate tread patterns, perform regular maintenance, check tire pressure periodically, repair damages promptly, and remove stones or foreign objects from treads; (3) Ensure standard pressure: Follow tire inflation standards to maintain tire pressure within specified values. Over or under-inflation increases wear and reduces mileage. When pressure is below standard, shoulder wear increases sharply; (4) Control tire temperature: During driving, tire deformation and friction raise internal temperature. When exceeding 100°C, the tire's strength significantly decreases, making it prone to delamination or blowouts. Since temperature is hard to measure, it is usually judged by pressure increase—higher pressure indicates higher temperature.
My Haval M6 came with Giti tires from the factory, and I remember the model was the Comfort 520 SUV series, which focuses on durability and quietness. However, the exact tire depends on the model year and configuration. For example, my friend's 2019 high-end model used Cooper Discoverer tires, and I've also seen some equipped with Kumho Crugen. Manufacturers adjust suppliers flexibly based on production batches, so the most accurate method is to crouch down and check the raised letters on the tire sidewall—the brand logo is the string of English letters following '215/65 R16.' As for my experience, these Giti all-season tires have run 50,000 kilometers, with decent wet traction, though road noise becomes noticeable above 80 km/h. When it's time to replace them, I'm considering trying Continental UC6 tires, which are said to offer significant noise reduction.
There's no definitive answer regarding the Haval M6's tire brand. The most reliable method is to check the configuration sheet inside the door. The most common combination seen is 17-inch alloy wheels paired with Giti SUV880 tires, which feature deep tread patterns for excellent water drainage. However, don't blindly trust factory tires - my cousin replaced his with Hankook Dynapro HP2 and saw a 0.3L/100km fuel consumption reduction. Reminder: always check the tire date code located in the last four digits of the DOT number (e.g., 3223 means the 32nd week of 2023). Northern owners should consider winter tires - last year's Chaoyang SW618 performed admirably crossing snowy mountains. Remember, tires are life-critical components - never compromise safety by buying cheap retreads.
