More and more tires are being produced in car shops in China. The prices are more than attractive, but the names of many brands mean nothing to most Russians. Nevertheless, quite a few “heavenly” companies have been working in Russia for a long time, therefore conclusions can be drawn about the quality of their products. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells about the most worthy and affordable rubber models from China.
Let’s start with the Windforce brand. It did not “light up” in any of the tire tests conducted by Russian automotive publications. However, it is widely available in stores. For example, the Catchfors UHP model in dimensions 195/50R15 can be purchased for only 3,300 rubles each. The author of these lines bought tires a year ago and rode the “seventeenth” wheels (5200 each) for a season. Impressions are positive. Despite the low profile of the tires, the car drives smoothly, the tread holds the road firmly. So far – only positives. Let’s see what happens this summer.
Triangle TH201 Sportex is sold for 3,770 rubles. When choosing it, it is worth studying the reviews, which turned out to be quite a lot. For example, a citizen nicknamed Gohn Galt writes that he is satisfied with the braking performance and behavior of the car on wet roads. At low and medium speeds, the tires make no noise. Another author assures: before that he drove a Pirelli P1 and the only difference that stands out is only the price.
This is not the first time forum member Anton Tracmax buys X-Privilo TX3. Now the “Chinese” is sold for 5510 rubles (215 / 55R17). The traveler has already ridden them for two summer seasons with two trips to the south. The total mileage is 8000 km per trip. Anton observes excellent handling and braking on dry surfaces. As for wear, over 20,000 km it was about 25-30%. That’s a lot, by the way.
Surprised and Sailun Atrezzo Elite. She has a very wide range. It starts from R14 (3810 rubles) and ends with R18 (7780 rubles). Here is Sergey’s review from the Mosavtoshina website, which installed the Asian model on the Kia Sportage. “The build quality is top notch. Not many weights were needed for the installation. I did not fly into puddles at high speed, but at low speed (60 km/h) there was no aquaplaning. In my opinion, this rubber is definitely better than the factory rubber. Would you buy more? Yes, especially at this price.
But Derwolf complains that at speeds above 150 km / h the car starts to get nervous and the road noise fills the entire cabin. Here we add that in such conditions you can feel comfortable on a sporty Michelin or on a Pirelli P Zero. However, their prices are now unrealistic.
Finally, Goodride Z-107 ZuperEco, designed for compact and medium-sized passenger cars. The minimum price is 2610 rubles (155 / 70R13). The special thing is that the model is offered with two tread patterns. Wider versions have three longitudinal ribs in the central part, not two.
Judging by the reviews, the model pleases with a good balance – about 35-40 grams of cargo per wheel. There is a lot of noise in the cabin and this is a minus. Moreover, it depends both on the quality of the coating and on the air temperature. Wear over 15,000 km is almost imperceptible.
You can see that our mates are generally satisfied with Chinese tyres. They especially like the price, because today not everyone is ready to overpay for a well-known brand.
