Yokohama tires are the tires used for the Changan CS75, with the specification being 225/65R17. Yokohama has developed tire design technology that reduces air resistance during vehicle operation. This technology, as a new eco-friendly method to decrease tire rolling resistance, improves the airflow around the tires during driving, thereby achieving fuel-saving and environmental benefits. Yokohama Tires, founded in 1917 and formerly known as Yokohama Rubber, officially changed its name in China to Yokohama in 2008. It has developed tire design technology that reduces air resistance during vehicle operation. When using Yokohama tires in daily life, the following points should be noted: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to wear from driving, the tread grooves gradually become shallow. If the tread wears out completely, the tire will lose its drainage and anti-skid functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks may also pose a risk of tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles lodged in the grooves. Try to park on level ground. 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 may deteriorate rubber. After parking, the driver should not turn the steering wheel, as this action accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool the tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires are prone to overheating, and the air pressure may increase. In such cases, park 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 or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the ground.

As a long-time CS75 owner who frequently drives long distances, I prioritize durability and comfort when choosing tires. The factory tires wear out too easily, so I recommend upgrading to Michelin Primacy SUV or Goodyear EfficientGrip SUV 2. For city driving, the 215/60 R17 size is sufficient, and if you're on a budget, Linglong CrossWind offers good value for money. Remember to do wheel balancing when changing tires, otherwise the steering wheel will vibrate severely at high speeds. Pay special attention to wet grip when driving in the rain. I'm currently using Hankook Dynapro HP2 and can clearly feel more stability when passing through puddles. Rotating the front and rear tires every 30,000 kilometers can extend their service life by 30%.

In the CS75 car owners' group, we jokingly call it the 'tire tycoon'. After comparing five mainstream tire models, I found: Continental UC6 suits owners who frequently drive on mountain roads, with thick sidewalls that resist bulging; Bridgestone Dueler has louder road noise but exceptional wear resistance; Dunlop PT3 offers the best wet braking performance. Personally, I recommend the 235/55 R19 size for more agile steering, though it increases fuel consumption by about 0.5L/100km. Avoid industrial tires and retreads - cheap comes at a cost. When changing tires at physical stores, supervise the mechanics closely. I've encountered two instances of missing valve core installations. After replacement, you'll distinctly notice the new tires' characteristics after about 500km of driving.

Last week, I just replaced the third set of tires for my CS75. When choosing tires, I stick to three key factors: safety standards must be met, compatibility with tire pressure monitoring, and proper manufacturing origin. For the 205/65 R16 specification, most common brands have corresponding models. The Chaoyang SU318A performs well with its anti-slip tread pattern and sufficiently thick sidewalls, making it less prone to rim damage on gravel roads. Avoid the temptation to save money by buying used tires—aging and cracks are often invisible. A tire blowout on the highway is extremely dangerous; last year, I witnessed two accidents caused by substandard tires. When picking up a new car, remember to check the manufacturing date—if the tires are over six months old, be cautious about aging issues.
