What tires are best for the Changan CS75?

[MacFrank]

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.

For us northern CS75 owners, winter tire performance is the top priority when choosing tires. Last winter, I switched to Nokian Line SUV winter tires, which maintained grip even at -20°C. For all-season tires, prioritize the wet braking distance parameter. The braking test of Chaoyang RP76 tires was over three meters shorter than international brands. Pay attention to the DOT code's last four digits for the manufacturing year; tires produced after 2021 have better rubber elasticity. When changing tires, remind the technician to replace the valve stem gasket, as aged ones can cause troublesome leaks. For the 225/65 R17 size, domestic tires now match foreign brands in quality, with the added advantage of being 40% cheaper.

As a mechanic with ten years of experience who has handled hundreds of CS75s, I recommend choosing tires based on driving habits: opt for Pirelli Scorpion Verde with reinforced sidewalls for frequent off-road driving; for pure commuting, Giti Comfort SUV is the most economical. Pay special attention to tread depth—new tires should have at least 8mm, and must be replaced if below 3mm. During each car wash, ask the mechanic to check for small stones embedded in the tires—I've seen cases where tires were punctured by screws without the owner realizing. Also, regularly check the spare tire's pressure to avoid finding it flat when needed. The 235/50 R19 size offers stable cornering, though the labor cost for replacement is slightly higher. These tires can last 20,000 kilometers longer than the factory ones.
