What is the ranking of Delinte tires?
2 Answers
2015 U.S. UHP tire market share rankings showed that Delinte, a brand under Sentury, made the list with a 2.5% market share, ranking 13th in the U.S. market. It was the only Chinese brand on the list. Meanwhile, in the European passenger car tire replacement market, its share exceeded 3%. Below is relevant information about tires: Tire specifications are commonly represented by a set of numbers. The first number indicates the tire section width, and the latter denotes the rim diameter, measured in inches. For example, 165/70-R14 means a tire width of 165 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 70, and a rim diameter of 14 inches. Symbol meanings: The middle letters or symbols have special meanings: "X" represents high-pressure tires; "R" and "Z" indicate radial tires; "-" stands for bias-ply tires. Due to their poor safety, load capacity, and high-speed stability, bias-ply tires are only used in some low-end off-road vehicles and heavy-duty trucks.
I've been driving for over a decade and enjoy researching various tire brands. Delinte tires don't rank very high in the market, and I remember they usually fall in the middle to lower tiers on global tire rankings, like beyond the top 30—definitely not a premium brand. This brand focuses on cost-effectiveness with affordable prices, making it suitable for budget-conscious daily drivers, such as for urban commuting. However, if you frequently drive on highways or pursue high performance, I wouldn’t recommend it, as its performance in dry/wet grip and durability tests is mediocre compared to top-tier giants like Michelin or Bridgestone. For safety, I’d advise checking independent test reports rather than just rankings, and always ensure proper tire pressure and wear checks to avoid accidents. Honestly, I’ve used Delinte once or twice—it’s truly budget-friendly with decent noise control, but I did experience some slippage during emergency braking. So, choosing tires should always align with your actual needs.
