What is the didar tire brand?

[OAustin]

didar tires are called Dida in Chinese and are a tire brand under Zhongce Rubber Group Co., Ltd. Zhongce Rubber Group Co., Ltd. was established in 1958 and is headquartered in Hangzhou. It is a large-scale tire enterprise integrating R&D, production, and sales. Zhongce owns numerous tire brands, including Chaoyang, Westlake, Goodride, and Yartu. The non-warranty brands include Dida, Anda, Kaida, and Ouneite. The company covers various fields such as passenger cars, commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, and engineering vehicles. Development milestones of Zhongce Rubber Group: In 1958, the predecessor of Zhongce Rubber—Hangzhou Haichao Rubber Factory—was established, mainly producing rubber shoes, rain boots, and bicycle tires. In 1966, Hangzhou Haichao Rubber Factory was renamed Hangzhou Rubber Factory. In June 1970, the company's first branch, Yangxi Branch, was established in Xin'anjiang, marking Zhongce's expansion into the tire industry. On July 1, 1992, the company formed a joint venture with Hong Kong Zhongce Investment Co., Ltd., establishing Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber (Stock) Co., Ltd. In 1993, the company purchased 423 acres of land in Xiasha Economic Development Zone as a new base for producing all-steel radial tires. In 1998, Hangzhou Chaoyang Rubber Co., Ltd. was established, marking the beginning of all-steel radial tire production. In 2000, the first phase of the Xiasha production line for 300,000 sets of all-steel radial tires commenced operation. Since 2008, the company has successively established overseas branches, including Haichao Trading, USA, Brazil, and Germany. In 2013, the company was renamed Zhongce Rubber Group Co., Ltd. and relocated to No. 1, 1st Street, Xiasha. In March 2015, its wholly-owned subsidiary—Hangzhou Zhongce Car Space Automotive Service Co., Ltd.—was established. On June 29, 2015, its first overseas production base—Zhongce Rubber (Thailand) Co., Ltd.—was opened and put into operation. On September 8, 2016, its subsidiary Zhongce Rubber (Anji) Co., Ltd. began production. In July 2018, Zhongce Rubber successfully held a global partners conference, accelerating its global expansion. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high/low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing, traction, and cushioning performance, as well as high wear resistance and flex resistance, along with low rolling resistance and heat generation. They directly contact the road surface and work with the vehicle suspension to mitigate impacts during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness, maintaining excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bearing the vehicle's weight. Methods for maintaining Dida tires: Enhance awareness of tire safety and inspect tires regularly. Regularly adjust wheel balance, as unbalanced wheels can cause high-frequency oscillations during high-speed driving, leading to uneven tire wear. Perform tire rotation periodically. To ensure even wear on all tires of the same vehicle, rotate the tires every 5,000 kilometers. When using Dida tires daily, pay attention to the following: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallow. If the tread is worn flat, the tire loses its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks may also pose a risk of blowouts during high-speed driving. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles from 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 degrade rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, increasing air pressure. In such cases, park to allow natural cooling. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool the tires, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the road.
