What brand of tires does the Xingyue use?
1 Answers
For the Xingyue, the mid-to-low trim models use Hankook tires, while the high-end trim models are equipped with Goodyear tires. Introduction to Hankook tires: The service life of Hankook tires is generally 3 to 5 years. After six years of use, tires will show signs of aging because they are rubber products with a limited shelf life. Manifestations of tire aging: One is that the tires will harden and develop cracks. This is due to the free radicals generated as the rubber ages, which then recombine, effectively increasing the cross-link density. As a result, the hardness increases, physical performance declines, and cracking occurs. Hardening and cracking are typical characteristics of tire aging. Another manifestation is that the rubber product softens, and the surface becomes sticky. This occurs because the molecular chains of the rubber product break during the aging process, similar to a degradation effect.
