Which brand of tires is suitable for the Teana?

Dongfeng Nissan Teana comes standard with 205/65-R16 radial tires. The tread width of this tire is 205, measured in millimeters, meaning it is 20.5 centimeters wide. The aspect ratio is 65%, resulting in a tire thickness of 133.25 centimeters, which can enhance driving comfort. The 'R' stands for radial tire, indicating the tire contains a steel wire mesh inside, and '16' refers to the applicable rim diameter of 16 inches. More details are as follows: 1. Tires are also categorized into winter and summer types, with varying needs for different seasons. Many currently use all-season tires, which can be used year-round. 2. Although all-season tires have strong compatibility, they may struggle in cold northern regions, especially in areas with heavy snow and severe freezing conditions, where potential hazards can multiply, leading to irreversible dangers. 3. Generally, it is recommended to switch to winter tires when temperatures drop below 7°C, as regular all-season tires tend to harden and lose grip in colder conditions, compromising driving safety. 4. Therefore, to avoid risks, it is advisable to switch to tires suitable for the current season.
When it comes to choosing tires for the Teana, I think as a family car owner, Michelin's Primacy series is quite suitable—quiet and comfortable, making driving noise-free, especially comfortable for city commuting and not tiring on long trips. Bridgestone's Turanza is also good, durable and wear-resistant, making maintenance hassle-free. I've been driving the Teana for almost five years and have changed tires a few times; the size 235/45 R18 matches the original factory specifications most reliably. Don’t overlook the price issue—Goodyear's Assurance offers better value for money, with a full set costing just over two thousand, but don’t skimp on cheap off-brands as it affects safety. Regularly checking tire pressure is also crucial; maintaining around 2.3 bar can extend tire life. Overall, the brand depends on your budget and daily needs, but I lean towards Michelin or Bridgestone for their balanced performance.
