What is the difference between original tires and non-original tires?
2 Answers
Original refers to the product accessories produced by the original manufacturer, while the secondary manufacturer mainly produces other accessories. The after-sales service guarantee of the original manufacturer is better than that of non-original manufacturers, and the quality is guaranteed. Non-original refers to all accessories produced by other manufacturers, and the quality may have problems, especially inferior accessories. The following points should be noted when purchasing and using tires: 1. When purchasing tires, always check the production date: If the production date is from a long time ago, do not purchase them. Tires are rubber products, and even if they are not used, aging will occur. 2. During daily use, it is necessary to frequently check the tire pressure and whether there is any damage on the tire surface: The sidewall of the tire is relatively fragile, and if it is scratched or punctured, it cannot be repaired. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage driven within four years is relatively low.
I'm an ordinary office worker who has been driving for five years and changed tires twice. The original tires that came with the car have a high compatibility and provide stable driving, but they are expensive—for example, one original tire for my Sagitar costs over 900 yuan. Later, I switched to non-original Michelin tires and found that the noise was much less, and driving over speed bumps was more comfortable. Saving money while improving comfort is really worth it. Non-original tires offer a wide range of options. I suggest researching your own driving habits—for example, since I drive on highways daily, I chose a quiet model, while those who commute in the city can opt for more durable ones. Don’t be tempted by cheap no-name brands, as it’s ultimately about driving safety.
