2 Answers
There is little difference between Chaoyang Tire 318 and Chaoyang 318A, both are comfortable urban SUV tires. The characteristic difference of Chaoyang SU318A is its emphasis on wet road grip, while Chaoyang Tire 318 combines off-road passability, highway comfort, and wet road safety. Chaoyang SU318 Tire: It was developed based on the needs of SUV owners, adopting a wide tread design to improve the tire's handling and steering performance, ensuring driving stability. It can maintain the best driving experience in all weather conditions, meeting the needs of owners to maintain the most stable driving state under different road conditions. Comfortable Tire: At the same time, considering that frequent braking in urban areas or high-speed driving can generate a lot of heat, which may lead to insufficient tire grip, Chaoyang SU318 focuses on enhancing the tire's grip. SU318 is such a tire that can be used for urban driving SUVs while also having certain adaptability on light off-road surfaces.
I just changed to Chaoyang 318 tires last year. They feel like basic models—fine for city driving but a bit slippery on rainy days. Later, I tried the 318A and noticed the tread pattern is significantly different, with denser zigzag grooves for better water drainage and much more stable braking. It costs a few hundred yuan more but can last an extra 20,000 kilometers. The 318A's rubber compound has been upgraded for higher wear resistance and quieter performance on long trips. If I frequently drove on highways or suburban roads, I'd definitely choose the 318A for added safety and peace of mind. Overall, the 318 is suitable for daily commuting, while the 318A excels in handling complex road conditions.
