To buy winter rubber, motorists are pretty carefully. After all, the adhesion of the car with a road surface depends on its technical characteristics when driving on icing, snow-covered and wet areas of the path.

Everyone wants to acquire high-quality, but inexpensive products. Pay attention to winter tires from China.

Thanks to such criteria for population requests, the demand for Chinese winter tires is gaining popularity. Products having the inscription "Made in China" has a good reputation in the global market, and in quality is not inferior to European, American and Japanese products.

Several reasons why Chinese Winter Rubber is becoming increasingly popular in the global market:

• relatively low cost in the ratio of tires of famous brands;
• the quality of winter tires is not inferior to expensive instances;
• positive feedback on the Internet.

Helpful advice! When choosing winter rubber of Chinese origin, it should be remembered that the quality you need to pay even buying Chinese products (the tires purchased for 1,000 rubles are unlikely to pass more than one season).

Maxxis - Excellent Rubber for Quick Drive

Winter studded rubber of this brand is represented by only two copies. But this made it possible to take him a ninth place in the world ranking. The products of the Chinese company proven themselves from the positive side and gained many fans around the world.

Tires are resistant to the formation of fuses and defects at the race at the obstacle while driving.

Judging by the Internet reviews, Maxis Winter Rubber will allow the car to get out of almost any drift and is very well clinging for ice coating.

The essential minus of Chinese studded tires "MAXXIS" can be called a high noise level when moving across the open asphalt and poor handling during the acceleration of the car. The quality of rubber and spikes is quite acceptable, many car owners write about 100% preservation of spikes after two seasons of everyday use in a big city.

Not studded winter tires of the Chinese brand "Maxxis" received a lot of positive feedback. She is not typical to the formation of hernia, such frequent on Russian roads. During the movement of the car for any type of road surface, the sound of tires is not higher than the average European manufacturers. Another positive property is an excellent course stability of the machine in a loose snow.

The main advantage of winter rubber Maxis is the ratio of price - quality. This is exactly the most of the buyers.

Hangzhou Zhongce - 17 million tires annually

Hangzhou Zhongce is the owner of the Goodride bus brand, which took 11 position in the ranking. To the list of trademarks belonging to her "Chaoyang" and "Yartu" specializing in the production of similar goods.

Models are characterized by a good clutch on a bare ice, great stability and handling.

Every year, the company produces 17 million units of automotive tires recognized by the World Institutions and Certification of the Economic Council of Europe and the US Department of Transport. Winter tires released by the largest tire corporation of China has a slight noise and good handling at reasonable speeds (up to 130 km / h).

In Russia, the most relevant series SW. Winter tire protector has shallow ditch, capable of removing water and snow cleaner from the surface of the wheel, forming a clean contact area with a road surface.

Proof of the quality of tires "Hangzhou Zhongce" serves a new world record for the longer drift. Wang Ki, the main pilot of the Chao Young team, was inscribed in the Guinness Book of Records. The West Lake / Goodride rubber was installed on his car, purchased in the usual retail store. Thus, the quality of products of the Chinese plant "ZC Rubber" is confirmed by the official certificate of Guinness.

Giti Radial - Chinese brand with not Chinese roots

Although the brand products have an inscription "Made in China", the holding has no Chinese roots. Giti Group owns the central office in Singapore, and the foundation history goes from the British Islands. Last years, the company is located in 13th place in the ranking of the best-selling tires.

Winter tires produced under this brand are distinguished by high quality and low cost.

This is due not to the standard criterion of Chinese products, where the basic action is a copy of a high-quality brand product. Corporation technologists are working on their own models, starting from the computer modeling stage, ending with ready-made rubber capable of establishing itself from a positive side.

Triangle - Tires with present support from China

14th place in the ranking is firmly held by another representative of China. Trying concern "Triangle" receives support and controlled by the Government of the Republic. Specializes in the production of tires of various classifications, almost for all types of transport. In the production of tires, a special rubber mixture is used, the composition of which does not apply. This allows you to create a good clutch with icing road surface and loose snow.

Chinese winter tires "Triangle" are unique to their destination for an active ride, which allows you to cope with bad road conditions and obstacles.

The rubber of this brand has a unique tread protector, which makes the appearance of the car much more interesting.

Shandong Linglong - Decent Rubber from Troika Leaders

Since 2008, Shandong Linglong Group of Companies is included in the top three Chinese leaders engaged in the production of automotive tires. The holding includes 7 factories specializing in the release of this products located in China and 30 branches located around the world.

Winter tires produced under the logo of the company "Shandong Linglong". He has certificates of international standards and certificates of conformity DOT, CCC, ECE. The range of goods is characterized by good technical parameters:

• predictable behavior on the road with a sharp braking;
• wear resistance;
• a protector that allows you to create a high-quality drainage on the spot of contact with the road surface;

These tires have a low noise when moving along an open asphalt and at the same time retain a good adhesion with an ice coating.

Sunny - firm four in our assessment

Despite the fact that the "Sunny" brand is practically not known to the Russian buyer, tires with such a name can be found in large specialized tire centers. There are several distinctive features:

• the quality of the rubber is not the worst, positive factor is the ability not to duplicate in the cold;
• the tread pattern performs the basic function, clears the wheel connections with a road surface;
• despite the low cost of tires of the concern, they have a relative duration of operation.

The studded winter tires of the Chinese concern "Sunny" is not distinguished by positive characteristics. There are several options for such models, but all of them are very low quality, so it is not recommended to purchase them.

All-season tires and Velcroe, manufactured by the company's plant, have withstood a test test for solid fourth.

* Overview of the best editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective, not advertising and does not serve as a guide to purchase. Before buying, you need consultation with a specialist.

With space speed develops a bus industry in China. Another 5 years ago, only the most desperate Russian motorists acquired little-known products. Yes, and the first tires from the Middle Kingdom did not differ in any quality nor durability. Today, Chinese tires on equal compete with recognized leaders from the USA, Japan, Great Britain, Italy, France, South Korea and Russia. At the same time, the main trump card remains unchanged - a democratic price. Experts identified several important advantages of automotive rubber from China.

The advantages of Chinese tires

1. Affordable price. Russian consumers are accustomed to the fact that the cost of Chinese goods is somewhat lower than that of better-known manufacturers. And at least today there is no abyss in the cost of tires between the brand and Chinese products, but the lower price remains an attractive factor for domestic motorists. And if a low salary has played a major role in the Chinese, today modern high-tech production was published at first pricing. It allows you to minimize human participation, increase productivity, improve the quality of tire products.
2. Quality. The quality level is still a deterrent for many motorists of Russia when buying Chinese tires. And if large manufacturers make a bet on high-precision equipment and hard control with the use of advanced diagnostic devices, then handicraft workshops continue to supply low-quality products. Therefore, often reviews of car owners are fundamentally different.
3. Where to acquire Chinese rubber.In order not to purchase tires made in cooperative artel, it is necessary to accommodately approach the selection of the store. Large Chinese tire manufacturers supply their products to serious trading companies or dealer centers. From there, the tires fall into car dealerships, service centers, online shopping. Purchase in such outlets is usually accompanied by a manufacturer's warranty. But buying from hands or on the car market becomes a very risky event, since claims for quality will be difficult to present someone.

We selected the 11 best brands of Chinese tires. All of them supply their products to the Russian market. When distributing places, the opinion of the expert community and feedback from domestic car owners took into account.

60 years ago, the whole world was actively discussed by the Japanese economic miracle, trying to understand how the backward semi-feudal country, which was Japan before the Second World War, in a short time turned into one of the pillars of the global economy. Then followed the queue of South Korea, and lately everyone speaks about Chinese phenomenon. This is all the more surprising that the officially subnetious is a country with a communist system and ideology. The current level of its development is not very tugable with the works of K. Marx, but the fact remains a fact - Chinese manufacturers coming along all fronts. It is not an exception and automotive, in particular - the production market.

Yesterday, no one for well-known firms today are actively tested on the market brands with world name and long history. Just striking progress! But in Russia, as in the rest of the world, strong prejudice is still preserved against Chinese products, which can be understood - as can the company, only yesterday appeared on the market, produce quality products? It turns out - maybe if approaching the case with the mind. However, local production is extremely inhomogeneously - here there are persistent leaders who managed to break into planetary tops, and there are really few well-known manufacturers, stamping cheap tires with dubious performance characteristics. But the consumer market is just as heterogeneous - there is a considerable interlayer of buyers, for which the main factor is the cost.

Features of the Chinese car market

If you turn to the facts, the best modern Chinese tires are practically not inferior to recognized European, Japanese or American analogues.

The phrase Made in China today does not say anything. It may be good, and frankly low-quality products. You will be surprised, but now in the country, about 500 enterprises of different levels are engaged in the production of rubber. Although, if you compare this figure with the number of people in the PRC (and these are the same half a billion people), then everything becomes clear. It is interesting here that's what: every fifth resident of the planet is a Chinese, and the share of Chinese tire plants in global production is still above - about 30%. Of course, this company includes both enterprises that have moved tire production from other countries due to the cheap labor, low taxes and an affordable commodity resource.

But the paradox is cheaper than their products from this did not! Tires Michelin or Pirelli, produced in China, stand almost as much as manufactured at other plants. And this situation is observed in many spheres of production, including high-tech.

But back to Chinese tires come back. In the last rating of manufacturers of auto strokes in Top-10, five companies from the Middle Kingdom were entered! Is it not evidence of decent quality of local products? We mention these manufacturers:

• Maxxis;
• Gitti Tire;
• Hangzhou Zhoungce;
• Triangle;
• Shandong Linglong.

Remember them to not be patched after the next trip to the car shop. These are the best Chinese tire manufacturers, although some names are certainly unknown to you.

It is impossible not to note another bright feature of the Chinese industry as a whole and tire production in particular. This is a love for copying products of world leaders, as well as a tendency to borrow the famous brands. Fighting with these phenomena is hard, especially with names - enough one modified letter to make any cue is meaningless. It is noteworthy that in this case the calculation is made to the markets of third countries, the population of which reverently refers to popular trademarks, but not so educated to distinguish Sony from Sonny or Soni.

The advantages and disadvantages of Chinese rubber

It is impossible not to recognize that even among the products of recognized European and Japanese tire companies there are models that are explicitly attributed to an unsuccessful reliability, quality, resource and other specific characteristics. In the same way, the Chinese segment, which, as a whole, is still inferior to global brands, but confidently and progress is approaching them. Already today, the best representatives of the Chinese Tinprom can be in popularity with more eminent products.

So, what are the tires from the miserable:

• winter Chinese tires, regardless of the presence / absence of spikes, very well retain their elastic properties at temperatures characteristic of winter for the most part of Russia. It can be recommended to use them on our roads under the condition that low traffic intensity;
• as for widespread rubber, then, according to the results of numerous tests, it is characterized by the smoothness of the stroke and a low rate of rolling resistance. Consequently, such tires are good on the roads with micronether, as they minimize vibrations and shaking;
• even in such a key indicator for the Russian user, like wear resistance, Chinese products are quite competitive. Moreover, some models are superior to the stock of tires from well-known world brands;
• it should not be said that on the price availability of the Tire from the PRC do not have competitors;
• another positive point is a real resource in Chinese tires, according to tests, above the manufacturers.

And now about minuses:

• A significant part of Chinese tire products is not very good in the performance of braking, controllability, clutch coefficient with slippery / icing / snow-covered road surface. In leaders, as a rule, these indicators are normal, but they also have unsuccessful models;
• local developers are still not paying enough attention to the aquaplaning resistance. As a result - you cannot be sure that the car on the wet highway when braking does not break into the skid. Similar problems are available for winter roads. It is noteworthy that almost all Chinese manufacturers sin, although in varying degrees;
• finally, it should be noted that the Chinese pay little attention to the fight against noise. Their rubber is one of the most noisy, especially when driving at high speeds. However, for many domestic motorists, this drawback explicitly refers to secondary.

Chinese manufacturers tire rating

An impatient reader is probably waiting for the publishing rating of the best tires with Made In China marking. Well, it's time to satisfy their curiosity.

Triangle

Founded at the time of the USSR in 1976, this company initially specialized in the production of tires for trucks. Currently, this is the largest Chinese manufacturer of auto strokes, in the assortment of which the entire spectrum of tires is presented - winter, radial.

This is a modern enterprise that has a number of undoubted advantages:

• high-tech production with its own laboratory and research units providing the production of competitive products;
• triangle products are set to most cars produced in this country, and this also indicates a lot;
• the range of tires by types, size and cost of tires is extensive and can satisfy almost all consumer segments;
• tires under this brand are characterized by a decent resource, which makes them more and more popular in the Russian market.

If you believe in real reviews, the TRIANGLE tires, despite the increased noise, are soft enough. In other words, even in conditions of negative temperatures, these tires will provide a good clutch of the wheels with an expensive. True, the prices of these tires are not so available compared to domestic products or less well-known Chinese brands, but also quality here at the world level. Among the most popular models, the PL01, PS01, TR77 bus can be highlighted.

Maxxis

This brand can be found to the oldest Chinese players - it was created back in 1967, when Mao Zedong was the Chinese leader. In 1981, the company began to cooperate with the Japanese tire brand "Toyo", which most positively affected the quality of products. Currently, the Maxxis tires are regularly installed on cars Nissan, Toyota, Hyundai, Peugeot, Ford, which is already talking about many.

So this brand is confident in the top 3 Chinese rubber.

Summer models are most popular - MAZ1 Victra, Mas2 Marauder 2, HPM3 Bravo. They have a great indicator of wear resistance and good performance.

As for winter rubber, the opinion of motorists is not so unanimously. In the category "Lipuchk", Russian users have a positively respond about the MAPW PRESA SNOW model, which has a directed tread pattern and unique side lamellas. This tire effectively counteracts the aquaplaning and provides good term resistance.

Among the NP3 Arctic Trekker, which has a two-layer protector combined with an exclusive pattern. Good coupling characteristics ensures the presence of silicon dioxide in the upper rubber layer.

Sunny.

This is a relatively young Chinese bus market player who demonstrates striking progress. If the first generations of the tires under this brand were frankly weak, then at the moment the company's products occupy a leading position in terms of price / quality ratio. The characteristic feature of Sunny rubber can be called magnificent durability, for which this products are not only like budget cars.

Other advantages of these tires:

• the use of winter rubber is not associated with increasing fuel consumption, which is typical for most Chinese tires;
• summer tires keep the road quite worn, coping well with mud;
• overcoming at the speed of deep puddles on this rubber is quite safe;
• the "Sunny" tires are well coped with elevated loads and they can be called high-speed.

Russian consumers most often mention the model SN3830, and the reviews are mostly positive. A unique pattern of a tread with aggressive directional slots perfectly copes with a quick deliverance from the snow porridge, and this is wide-profile tires.

Among the flight tires can be distinguished by the SN3970 - an option of a high-speed tire capable of working with elevated weight loads both dry and. In general, these are not the best Chinese tires, but definitely the cheapest among good.

Goodride

This Chinese production capacity company is inferior only to the Triangle leader. On the Russian market, Goodride products are presented for a long time and has already managed to become one of the most sought-after. High quality protector, democratic value and excellent wear resistance - the main characteristic features of these tires. The company uses only high-quality materials, acquiring rubber mixtures in industry leaders. Note that Goodride experts are not shy to adopt other people's ideas, including concerning the tread pattern. Is it possible to call it a minus? From a consumer point of view - no, because with the concerned world performance, we get products more affordable.

Note the most popular tire models:

• Sport RS - Summer Rubber. As it follows from the name - a narrow specialized, intended for drift driving. Characterized by a symmetric pattern that provides enviable coursework resistance at high speeds;
• SA 37 is a more landed summer version that is not distinguished by outstanding properties. This rubber is good for the average car owner who prefers aggressive style;
• SW 606 - Winter studded full-belly tire with a pattern of V-shaped. Increased rigidity provide side protrusions. One of the best options for budget cars with landing destinations in the R14-R16 range.

Infinity.

Here is a typical example of abuse by the name of the famous brand. Unlike a Japanese brand, Chinese does not suffer a mania of greatness - its tires can be called simply good because they are produced without using super-modern technologies. Own rubber recipe and a relatively simple protector - nothing outstanding. But the company got the opportunity to compete in the lower price segment. At the same time, in its range there are quite worthy of the characteristics of the model, which are in demand and in our country.

Despite the use of classical technologies, Infinity is ready to offer large customers an individual manufacture of tires. By the way, its model range cannot be called huge, but it has a place for trucks and for motorcycles.

Kinforest.

This is another representative of the new wave present in the market since 2007 and has already managed to win a good place under the sun. Initially, the company was designed with the calculation of the use of the most modern technologies, and now the company's products really look quite worthy even against the world of world industry leaders.

In the ratings of Chinese tires, the brand is constantly included in the TOP-10, releasing rubber predominantly for passenger cars of the elite class. The evidence of high quality tires Kinforest is the presence of a number of international certificates confirming the high consumer properties of Chinese rubber.

In our country, the most famous is the KF-717 model, focused on full-sized SUVs and crossovers. Since the dimension of the wheels for this class of machines is high (from R18), the tires from world brands managed to owners of such TS too expensive, and the emergence of affordable and high-quality products from Kinforest was met with great enthusiasm.

Antares.

Being a one-year kinforest, this plant was created using Bridgestone technician. The company's production base was also the corresponding: high-tech robotic Japanese equipment excludes the production of marriage - on this score consumer can be completely calm. By the way, since the plant is under the government protectory, the state very hard reacts to any deviations of technological processes, carrying out control at all stages of production. At the same time, the pricing policy of the company is quite democratic.

In Russia, the Inges A1 models have a special place. It is characterized by almost complete coating of all sizes for passenger cars, from the minimum R13 to a premium R20. The last rubber, the speed index does not differ from the models that are at least twice as much. Especially TV this plan is distinguished by low-profile tires.

However, it is impossible to call outstanding these tires, rather, they are a strong middling, which is best manifolding in urban conditions.

Giti Tire.

This Chinese company belongs to the GT Radial brand, which is very well known to the Russian consumer. Plants companies operate not only in China, but also in the territory of other States of Southeast Asia.

We note the most sought-after brand models:

• Champiro UHP1 is a high-speed tire with good speed parameters. In the domestic market, this tire is the most preferred option of inexpensive low-profile rubber with a well-durable sports slope and not outstanding, notes with decent characteristics when driving on dry asphalt. Produced with landing diameters in the R15-R19 range;
• Champiro Eco is good for everyday use, the protector of which is designed for safe driving at all speeds. With excellent course stability and acoustic indicators, the tire does not have the same tenacity as UHP1, however, it is clearly better in the smoothness;
• Champiro Icepro is a representative of the winter-class tire, focused on small cars and family sedans. It has spikes installed according to a special scheme. In the presence of broad protector grooves, such a design provides an effective water / snow crumb and a good clutch with ice.

Ling Long.

One of the oldest manufacturers of tires. He is the Sandong Linglong Tyre subbrend created in 1975. Currently, it is among the five hundred of the largest Chinese enterprises. In the industry ranking in 2012 it took 19th place, having missed the Finnish manufacturer Nokian.

The total capacity of all company plants is about 10 million tires / year. According to this indicator, in the subway, it ranks third. For product quality refers to the second line.

FUZion.

Tires under this brand launched a company actually owned by the famous Bridgestone brand. But you should not expect the same magnificent performance from this rubber - this is a strong middle jage of the entry level, the main advantage of which can be called the price. A typical example of the fact that not always a world-famous manufacturer produces products corresponding to their image.

Is it worth gaining Chinese tires

The main advantage of the auto strokes from the Middle Kingdom is their relatively low price. As for the advantages, you had the opportunity to familiarize yourself with them by reading our little review. However, it should be treated critically. It can only be noted that in recent times, in almost all quality indicators, the best Chinese manufacturers included in the TOP-10 are tightened to world brands.

So if you seduced low price - ask if the company is mentioned in the ratings and at what place. In any case, if the performance characteristics are important for you - it is better to give preference to eminent trademarks. But for those who drive a little and not quickly, the Chinese tires will be the most preferred option.

Car service business cost. Each system requires regular diagnostics. The chassis and wheel of the car is exposed to strong exposure, as they are directly in contact with the road web. Therefore, more and more often domestic car owners buy Chinese-made tires.

Should I buy Chinese rubber

The cost of one set of tires from leading Chinese companies is approximately equal to the one that a person pays for supported by European or Western counterparts. In quality, the tires from the Middle Kingdom have already reached a high level, thanks to which they become an excellent choice for those who are a little stronger in the means. In the domestic market, you can find a suitable tap rubber suitable for each brand. The main thing to give your preference only to proven manufacturers.

They have durability and manufactured using compound technologies, as in Michelin tires.

Winter tires

Maxxis makes the most reliable tires for winter. The assortment has not only a large amount of studded models, but also special "lipochki", which are used under conditions of partial frostbite of the roadway.

Successful brand, which was founded in 1995. Only modern technologies are used in production, in addition, Chang Feng has its own scientific base, thanks to which useful innovations can be introduced every year. It is one of the leading manufacturers in the Chinese market. The only quality that prevents buyers to choose this brand is a high price.

The manufacturer cannot stand out among competitors. Its popularity is due to the fact that from under his conveyor, in bulk the costs of the price of well-known world brands are published. The latest comments to the firm include:

• Using someone else's tread pattern without special permission.
• Sale of obsolete rubber types.
• Lack of independent projects. The entire range is cleaned with the latest developments of other companies.
• Small range of radii. Only standard dimensions are found on the market.

The most famous products of this concern are summer tires Greenmax HP 010 and Greenmax Ecotouring.

Many mislead the name of the brand, as many refer it to a well-known manufacturer of Asian cars. Infinity is greatly inferior to his one-facilitator in the motion of production. The concern produces standard rubber kits without the introduction of innovative developments.

Benefits:

Summer tires

Distinctive qualities of summer tires Triangle is a special tread pattern. Thanks to him, even on wet asphalt, the car maintains stability and grip with an expensive. Special grooves are removed under the action of inertia moisture from the point of contact.

The average price for TR918 rarely exceeds 15,000 thousand rubles. Therefore, buyers prefer this rubber with a similar Western.

List of wholesale production of high-quality cargo tires are engaged in several enterprises:

Almost everyone produces specialized tires for trucks. A distinctive feature of these enterprises is a large number of types and sizes.

Heat the speed oval, the driver went to the profiled turn and, squeezing the passengers by the side overload, let go of the steering wheel: they say, see how the car stands on the arc. And on steep banking, we rushed not on a squat sports car, but on a crowded minibus Mercedes Sprinter! A mad minibus with unaccounted passengers conducted a tour of the Chinese Tire Test Polygon Maxxis.

On the car landfill in the town of Kunshan tested Maxxis tires. This brand was born fifty years ago under the wing of the Taiwanese company Cheng Shin Group, the ninth largest magnic tire manufacturer for bicycles, motorcycles and cars. The Maxxis brand is quite well known on the European, Asian and American markets (Taiwanese tires are sold in 170 countries, but the priority market is the USA), they know it and with us. And some time ago, winter studded Maxxis Presa Spike SUV and MAXXIS Arctic Trekker NP3 even took part in comparative tests. Autorev. This year, Maxxis plans to sell about 200 thousand tires in Russia (mostly summer, with orientation to the car class B), and in the next three years, capture at least two percent of our tires market, pushing such manufacturers like Kumho, Hankook and Dunlop .

The situation on test roads is controlled by sixteen monitors.

Maxxis International engineering nest is located in Taper, plants are in Thailand and Vietnam, regional technological centers work in the United States and Holland, but the largest and most modern foreign technological platform is built in Chinese Kunshane: with full technological loading, the local plant is able to produce up to 55 thousand tires. per day. And the Test Polygon and the Maxxis Proving Ground Research Center was designed together with the Japanese: the Maxxis tire brand developed in the Toyo Rubber Indian technological support. Co. The school of the rising sun is visible literally in everything: each meter of the territory is adapted for test sites. Rigid throughput, automated video monitoring and electronic accounting of cars operating in a particular sector ...

Porsche Panamera in the corporate coloring during our visit to the landfill in Kunshane worked as show car market, without stopping

And the assortment of coatings - you never dreamed! Rather, we just dreamed. But in the eyes of inexperienced Europeans, the test center in Kunshane that the road Kunstkamera. Gravel, cobblestone, railway moving, plots with road repair, concrete, cute heart of every Russian pits ... Perhaps the only thing I did not see on the Chinese tire test site, is urban asphalt with open sewer wells. Because the killing of the wheels, the Chinese are engaged in scientific, imitating oblique blow to a curb stone. The American obstacle (General Motors technique) has a trapezoid profile, and in the Japanese rules (Toyota technique), the blow is made in a ram with rounded edges. And in that and in another case, the speed of the attendance is 35 km / h, and the criterion of tire rejection is blown, sidewall damage or depressurization. By the way, we are in tests from the tests using a more complex "destroying" technique: the height of the bar is selected depending on the tire size (obstacle to 10 mm above its profile), and the rate of hitting the timing increases step by step - to breakdown. When conducting comparative tests, it is more informative.

The track for checking the "dry" controllability is a ring area with a length of 2.8 km, for "wet" exercises, a drawn "violin key" is provided with watering of different intensity and water-floated circle with a diameter of 140 meters. Evaluate the durability of the tire to the aquaplating helps the camera, relieving the real picture in the spack of the contact. But the strongest impression on me was made by special, where the Chinese simulate a high-speed shift of the traffic strip (dynamic "rearrangement") and check the operation of the car stabilization systems. This is done with a national flavor: on ordinary cars without safety frames, with alive passengers instead of bulk mannequins, at speeds are far behind the "hundred" and, as it seemed to me, without a special understanding of possible consequences. Chuck!

With dynamic tests, the Chinese use the equipment of the VBox family. There are no other means of measurement

Interesting detail: All test drivers, admitted to the work of increased danger, Taiwan. Local, it seems, do not trust.

Well, at the landfill in Kunshane, they were offered to participate in comparative testing of Maxxis Premitra 5 and Goodyear EfficientGrip tires of 205/55 R16 and evaluate their behavior on a dry coating and on water. The aggregate is a two-liter Ford Focus with an automatic transmission, and the evaluation criterion was the time of passing dry and wet route, measured using the Racelogic instrument. The Chinese did not hide that all the driving characteristics with this couple were already removed and even revealed their expert conclusions. Say, Tires Maxxis look better than their competitor in all other resources and vibroacoustic comfort.

Ford Focus cars with double-liter gasoline engines and automatic transmissions served as aggregaters during our tests.

I do not pretend to the role of an expert, but "dry" superiority of the Chinese product is recognized unconditionally: where Goodyear forced me to slip too much turning, the Maxxis tires allowed the tires to cling to the trajectory, and the car reaction to the gas reset was much more pronounced. As a result, with Chinese tires, I drove on average for two seconds faster.

On the wet coverage "Chinese" time, too, it turned out better, but ... In the maximum turn on the wet asphalt, Maxxis Premitra 5 tires are very sharply moving away from rolling to slip: you go on an arc, you feel the holder, try to go bolder and here - op-la! - The car is spinning around the vertical axis. In two arrows from the six, I just pulled out from the track.

Internal tire noise is measured by two microphones (at the head of the driver and the rear right passenger) connected to the Bruel & Kjaer complex. And the outer-external microphones facing electronically. In the measurement zone, the car is rolled on neutral and with the engine off, and the speed of the entrance controls the radar

One misfortune: at the landfill in Kunshane speak English very poorly, so you have to sign up for Chinese courses. As a true realist.
