What is MEDALLION tire?
1 Answers
MEDALLION is a premium tire series under Maxxis, originating from Taiwan, and is a product of Cheng Shin Rubber Ind. Co., Ltd. Its main products include inner and outer tires for rickshaws, bicycles, motorcycles, ATV tires, agricultural and industrial vehicle tires, truck and bus inner and outer tires, as well as radial tires for cars, light trucks, and trailers. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high-low temperature effects during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance, while also requiring high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as relatively low rolling resistance and heat generation. They directly contact the road surface and, together with the vehicle suspension, mitigate the shocks encountered during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness, maintaining excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bearing the weight of the vehicle. Maxxis tire maintenance methods: Enhance awareness of tire safety and regularly inspect tires. Periodically correct wheel balance; unbalanced wheels can cause high-frequency oscillations during high-speed driving, leading to uneven tire wear. Regularly rotate tires; to ensure even wear across all tires on the same vehicle, perform tire rotation every 5,000 kilometers. In daily use of Maxxis tires, pay attention to the following points: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread is worn flat, it loses its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks may seem minor but can be a hidden danger for tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, immediately remove pebbles from the grooves. Park on level 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 related to rubber deterioration. After parking, the driver should not turn the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool down. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires are prone to overheating, and tire pressure increases. In such cases, stop to let the tires cool down naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool down, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent use of brakes and sudden stops to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the ground.
