What kind of tires does the Buick Encore use?
1 Answers
The Buick Encore uses Bridgestone tires with a tire size of 215/55R17. Bridgestone Corporation (English: 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 literal translation of the founder's surname, Ishibashi. Bridgestone is the largest tire manufacturer in Japan and also the largest tire manufacturer in the world. In the Chinese market, Bridgestone was once referred to as 'Ishibashi Brand' in the early years, but today the company uniformly uses the transliterated name 'Bridgestone'. For the tires of the Buick Encore, the following points should be noted during daily use: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to wear and tear from driving, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread is worn flat, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks may seem minor but can be a hidden danger for tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove small stones stuck in the grooves. Try to park on flat ground. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. The vehicle should not be parked near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that can deteriorate rubber. After parking, the driver should avoid turning the steering wheel, as this can accelerate tire wear. Do not splash water to cool the tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires are prone to overheating, and tire pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool naturally. Avoid releasing air to reduce pressure or splashing water to cool the tires, as this can lead to abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent and sudden braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the road surface.
