What is the Victra tire brand?

Victra tires are a series of tire products under the Maxxis brand. The characteristics of Maxxis Victra products are wear resistance. Maxxis Tires is one of the brands under Cheng Shin Rubber Industry Co., Ltd., established in 1967 in Taiwan, China. Maxxis International provides tire products for cars, light trucks, bicycles, motorcycles, ATVs, trailers, go-karts, and lawn mowers. The products are sold in more than 170 countries, with business spanning Asia, Europe, and North America, making it one of the world's leading tire brands. Tires and the vehicle's suspension system work together to cushion the impact forces experienced during driving, providing good ride comfort and smoothness while ensuring excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road. Tires bear the weight of the vehicle, making them one of the most critical components of a car. Characteristics of car tires: The tread of car tires features patterns designed to enhance performance, while increasing the tire's cross-sectional width. Lower internal pressure is used to achieve better cushioning performance. Car tires can be structurally categorized into radial tires and bias-ply tires. Figure 3 Tire storage precautions: Tires should be stored in a warehouse that is kept dry, well-ventilated, and protected from direct sunlight. Tires should be kept away from heat sources, electrical equipment, and ozone-producing areas. They must not be stored with oils, flammable materials, or corrosive chemicals. Outer tires or complete sets should be stored upright; flat stacking or hanging through the center is strictly prohibited. Large tires should only be stored upright in a single layer, while medium and small tires may be stored upright in double layers. Rotate them every two months. If inner tubes are stored separately, they should be inflated with an appropriate amount of air. When hung on a semi-circular wooden rack, the support points should be rotated periodically, and folding, flat stacking, or piling is not allowed. Tire selection tips: Choose new tires with the same size as the original tires. For those who enjoy aggressive driving, tires wear out faster, so opt for wear-resistant tires. For highway or freeway driving: For maximum safety during high-speed braking, choose tires that offer the shortest braking distances on both dry and wet roads. Comfort: For long trips, select tire products that provide a comfortable ride (with minimal bumps and noise). Performance: Opt for high-performance tires. For city driving: Braking distance: To handle various hazards in urban driving (such as pedestrians crossing the road), choose tires with the shortest braking distances on both dry and wet roads. Long mileage life: The tread blocks of tires, which bear the engine's power or braking force and contact the road, will deform and slide. Sliding and friction wear down the tread rubber. Choose tires with longer mileage life. Fuel economy: Tires with lower rolling resistance can significantly reduce vehicle fuel consumption. When using Victra tires daily, pay attention to the following: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread is worn flat, it loses its water drainage and anti-slip functions, greatly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks may pose a risk of blowouts during high-speed driving. Additionally, promptly remove small stones lodged in the grooves. Park on level 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, and pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to let the tires 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. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear due to dragging between the tires and the road.
I remember using Vittoria tires when riding mountain bikes at school. It's an old Italian brand specializing in bicycle tires, known for reliable performance. They offer two main series: road and mountain. Road tires like the Rubino Pro are lightweight with excellent grip, making rides effortless. Mountain tires such as the Martello are designed for complex terrains, featuring durability and puncture resistance. I often went on long rides with friends, and these tires performed steadily on slippery roads without any skidding incidents. Even after years of use, the tread showed minimal wear. The brand also sponsors the Tour de France, highlighting its professional quality. Priced reasonably, they suit everyone from beginners to experts, ideal for daily commutes or sports.
