What brand of tires does the Volkswagen New Bora use?
2 Answers
Volkswagen New Bora uses Hankook tires, with tire sizes of 195/65/R15 and 205/55/R16. Hankook Tire was founded in 1941 as South Korea's first tire company, providing radial tires for passenger cars, light trucks (SUVs, RVs, etc.), trucks, buses, and special racing vehicles. Hankook has five R&D centers worldwide, ensuring that its tires meet the needs and enhance customer satisfaction in each region. On July 16, 2021, it ranked 50th in the list of the world's top 100 automotive parts companies. For the Volkswagen New Bora's tires in daily use, pay attention to the following points: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to wear from driving, the tread grooves gradually become shallow. If the tread wears flat, it will lose its water drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Small cracks can also be potential hazards for tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles stuck in the grooves. Park on flat ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that can deteriorate rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool down. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, and tire pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to let the tires cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool them, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear from dragging against the ground.
I remember when I test drove the Volkswagen New Bora last time, it was equipped with Hankook tires, a pretty common brand with decent quality and good comfort on the road. As an ordinary car owner, choosing the right tire brand is crucial as it directly affects driving stability and noise control. Volkswagen often pairs its new cars with this brand due to its high cost-performance ratio, making it suitable for family use. If you're unsure, you can ask the dealer when purchasing the car, as different configurations may come with other brands—for example, the base model might use domestic brands. When driving a Bora, remember to regularly check tire wear and pressure to ensure safety on long trips. When replacing tires, consider your budget: opt for Michelin if you want something more premium, but Hankook is sufficient for daily use.
