What tires are good for Changan CS35?

[LeahAnn]

The tire specification for Changan CS35 is 215/50/R17. Any tire that meets this size specification can be used. The original factory configuration of Changan CS35 is Chaoyang tires, whose biggest advantage lies not in wear resistance but in the balance of performance in quietness, grip, and fuel efficiency, offering high cost-effectiveness. Here is more information about tires: 1. Tires are a very crucial component of a car, directly affecting the driving stability and safety. Tires are the only part of the car that comes into contact with the ground. Being rubber products, tires will age and wear over time and need to be replaced regularly. If not replaced for a long time, it will affect the driving stability and safety of the car. 2. When purchasing new tires, always check the production date, as tires generally have a shelf life. Normally, the shelf life of unused tires is three years. If the tires have been in storage for more than three years, do not purchase them. After installing new tires, it is essential to perform a dynamic balance test on each wheel to prevent abnormal vibrations during high-speed driving. 3. Tire pressure is very important for tires; it should neither be too high nor too low. If the pressure is too high, it will reduce the tire's grip. If the pressure is too low, it may cause wave-like deformation of the tire during high-speed driving, accelerating tire aging and increasing the risk of a blowout.

The Changan CS35 comes with original 205/60 R16 tires. When selecting new tires, make sure to stick with this size. For family cars, I think three things matter most: low tire noise, good wet traction and drainage, and durability. The Michelin Primacy 4 is excellent—super quiet on highways with stable wet grip, though a bit pricey. If on a budget, consider the domestic Chaoyang SU318a, which has rim protectors (no worries about curb scratches) and five tread grooves for quick water drainage—small puddles are no problem. For those often driving on gravel roads, the Giti 228 is worth trying, with two extra layers of sidewall reinforcement for better toughness. Oh, and don't forget wheel balancing when changing tires to prevent steering wheel vibration.

Just fitted my CS35 with a set of Cooper Discoverer tires, and they've performed well over 3,000 kilometers. With this SUV's high center of gravity, handling is key when selecting tires - the stiff shoulder design prevents sway during cornering. For snowy northern regions, go straight for all-season tires like Hankook Kinergy 4S2 with the mountain/snowflake symbol; their rubber stays pliable even at -10°C. In perpetually humid southern climates, Continental UC6's branch-pattern drainage grooves outperform conventional straight grooves. Pro tip: Always replace rubber valve stems with aluminum ones during tire changes - rubber valves crack and leak within two years. If your TPMS acts up, faulty valve stems are usually the culprit.

Choosing tires depends on the road conditions you frequently encounter. I commute mostly on highways daily, so I switched to Pirelli P7 Cinturato, but at 80 km/h on elevated roads, the tire noise is quite noticeable with a whooshing sound. For those who enjoy road trips, pay attention: opt for tires with large tread blocks when driving on muddy roads, like Giti AT100, which has aggressive lugs to grip mud without slipping. If you often drive through construction sites, consider Nitto NT860 with its three-layer polyamide cord; nails puncture it slowly, allowing you to reach a repair shop. Never skimp on quality by buying regrooved tires—if the DOT code on the sidewall is ground off, it’s definitely a retread. New tires should last at least five years; sidewall bulges usually result from hitting potholes at high speed without slowing down.
