What is the tire model of the Qashqai?
1 Answers
The Qashqai uses Bridgestone's TURANZA tires, with tire models of 215/55R18, 225/45R19, and 215/60R17. Bridgestone Corporation was established by Shojiro Ishibashi in 1931 in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, as a tire manufacturing plant. In the 2018 Fortune Global 500 rankings, it was ranked 365th. The company's English name is derived from the founder's surname, Ishibashi, translated literally. Bridgestone is the largest tire manufacturer in Japan and also the world's largest tire manufacturer. In Chinese, Bridgestone was once referred to as 'Ishibashi Brand,' but today the company uniformly uses the transliterated name 'Bridgestone.' For the Qashqai's tires in daily use, pay attention to the following points: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to wear from driving, the tread grooves on the tires gradually become shallow. If the tread is worn flat, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Small cracks can be potential hazards for tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles lodged in the grooves. Park on flat ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park the car near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that can deteriorate rubber. After parking, the driver should not turn the steering wheel, as this will accelerate tire wear. Do not use water to cool overheated tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, and the air pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool them, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent and hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear from dragging the tires against the road.
