The automotive portal PCauto decided to conduct its own tire test and find out what locally produced budget tires are like. Tires were taken from Doublestar, Linglong and Warrior in size 205/55 R16, which is the most popular in the Chinese market. The cost of tires varies from 200 to 300 yuan (1,900 - 2,900 rubles), and experts noted that one should not expect much from tires in this segment, and many car owners are well aware of this, so it is important for them, first of all, that tires do not annoyed by loud noise and served as long as possible. All tires in the test have speed and load indices of V and 91, respectively.

The Doublestar DH06 belongs to the category of high comfort tires, as a result of which they have an optimized pitch pattern that reduces noise levels. In addition, silica has been added to the rubber compound to reduce rolling resistance to save fuel.

The Doublestar DU05 tires are higher grade than the Doublestar DH06, so they cost a bit more. The tires feature an asymmetric pattern designed to improve wet and dry handling, and the compound has been redesigned to improve fuel efficiency.

Linglong L788 with its tread pattern immediately betrays its age, and this model was indeed introduced quite a few years ago. The tires have a rib design that improves stability, while wide longitudinal grooves are responsible for evacuating water from the contact patch.

The asymmetric Warrior R30 is characterized by the manufacturer as a tire with a very long service life, which allowed them to become quite popular in China.

Before the tests, the experts measured the shore hardness of all tires and their weight. The stiffest and potentially most durable tires were the Linglongs, while the Doublestar DH06 tires were the lightest. In addition, it is noted that the second model from Doublestar differs by the largest number of carcass / sidewall layers, which speaks in favor of their strength and reliability.

The tests were carried out at the Guangzhou test site in sunny weather and air temperatures from 25 to 29 degrees.

The tests used a 2018 Chevrolet Cruze.

The first test measured the noise inside the car at speeds of 60, 80 and 100 km/h.

At 60 km/h, the Doublestar DH06 and Linglong are clearly better in terms of acoustic comfort, and after increasing the speed by 20 km/h, the first model continues to perform well, while the second sharply increases the volume of the emitted noise and becomes the worst in this indicator. At 100 km / h, the tires are noisy at about the same volume. The subjective assessments of experts who put Warrior tires in first place were also taken into account. The worst were Linglong, which have a very loud noise in the middle speed range.

The second discipline measured the time during which the car accelerated from standstill to 100 km/h on a dry surface. The temperature during the race was 25-28 degrees.

Linglong tires, with their "old-fashioned" design, unexpectedly outperformed all competitors, and they did it by such a margin that there is no doubt about their advantage. Experts also noted that only Linglong did not make any protest sounds and did not slip at the start.

In the third part of the tests, the effectiveness of braking on a dry surface was evaluated - the car was stopped from 100 km / h and the length of the braking distance was measured.

All four tires performed almost identically, with the Doublestar DU05 taking the lead by a slight margin. It remains to be regretted that PCauto did not have the opportunity to conduct a similar test on a wet surface.

To evaluate the economy of the tires, the car was accelerated to 60 km / h, turned on neutral speed and waited until it stopped, after which the distance that the car traveled when decelerating from 55 to 0 km / h was measured. The longer the distance, the lower the rolling resistance of the tires.

Once again, Linglong tires are the best, which, judging by the results of the test, are able to reduce fuel consumption. At the same time, both Doublestar models have increased rolling resistance.

In the final discipline, the experts evaluated the behavior of the tires during the passage of the snake.

Linglong tires were recognized as the best in terms of stability and grip stability. According to experts, tires are not prone to a sudden loss of grip, and when it is lost, it is quickly restored. Overall, the Linglong can provide the best control during sharp maneuvers among the tested tires. The two Doublestars aren't as confident and can slip unexpectedly, while the Warrior is fairly predictable but grip levels are generally lower than the other tires in the test.

As the tests showed, all tires have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the most balanced tires were from Doublestar, which at the same time did not show brilliant results in any of the disciplines. The Linglong tires showed very good driving characteristics, at least on dry pavement. At the same time, they have problems with noise suppression, and this cannot be ignored. Warrior tires, which have just the best ratings for acoustic comfort, at the same time have the highest price.

Test with a twist: ten purely Chinese tires against one German. AUTO BILD tested tires for the Chinese market: little-known brands and global manufacturers.

In these tire tests, products from little-known brands from the Far East do not stand up to scrutiny. Of course, all these tires belong to the budget segment. However, global tire manufacturers such as Michelin, Bridgestone or Dunlop produce special tire models for the Chinese market. Relatively speaking, they are adapted to local conditions of use and preferences of buyers. But something tells us that such adapted tires, even from a well-known manufacturer, cannot be compared with approximately similar tires made for Europe.

So, there will be a test. As a guide, we brought with us to China and tested along with the "natives" a set of tires Continental PremiumContact 5. This year, in our next tire test, this tire model proved to be a good average and won the "recommended" rating.

What is the difference between German tires and Chinese ones?

Huge subjects of the economy, such as the European Union, China, Russia, the United States, have developed their own requirements for products. Tires must be adapted accordingly. In addition, there are customer preferences. Chinese car enthusiasts appreciate the quietness and soft rolling of tires above all else. In addition, the sidewall of the tires must be able to withstand impacts from broken asphalt. Germany has a high proportion of highways, so safety and the tire's ability to save fuel are important.

Can Chinese tires be sold in Europe without certification?

Only tires that meet the specified requirements may be used on public roads in Europe. There is a so-called certificate of conformity. After passing the test, each tire model receives an identification number, which is indicated on the side wall.

In Europe, sellers themselves are interested in checking whether a product has a certificate of conformity. A certificate can be obtained from the customs authorities. Despite this, non-certified tires are leaking into Europe, which are imported by one-day firms.

Is it possible to recognize a Chinese tire by brand?

This is easy only if the brand has a clear Chinese flavor. Things are more complicated with tires from well-known European brands. For example, Michelin produces an Energy model for China, but with the prefix MXV 8 in the name, which says little to the consumer. Only professionals are able to guess that this tire came from China.

Is looking at the "Made in China" label enough to avoid buying the wrong tire?

No, because today even premium tire manufacturers make them in China for sale in Europe. These tires are fully consistent with high quality and local standards.

Can I drive in Europe without certified tyres?

In general, yes, the main thing is to follow the rules on seasonal tire changes.

Are the products of Dunlop China and Dunlop Europe identical?

No. The Dunlop brand is known all over the world. But few people know that this trademark belongs to different owners. The largest of these is Sumitomo Rubber Industries, a Japanese company that owns the right to sell products under this brand in China. In Europe, the Dunlop brand (and the local company) is owned by Goodyear. Both of these European companies work in close cooperation.

How to buy the right certified tires?

It is best to buy from trusted sellers. In addition, you yourself can learn something about the origin and purpose of the tire by examining it and reading the markings present on it.
If you look closely, you can distinguish a Chinese tire from a certified European one. Every European tire must have the appropriate approval. The presence of such approval is evidenced by a label with the letter E, both with a large (1) and a small one (1) (two E-labels are allowed at once). The number after the E indicates the country in which the tire passed European certification tests. E3 points to Italy. Next to the label is the number of the certificate of conformity (2). Since 2001, the certification test program has consisted of tests for noise S (3), wet grip W and rolling resistance R. The newer the tire, the more certificate numbers are printed on its sidewall.

Deciphering the certificate of approval for the European market, even for specialists, is difficult. To make it easier for the buyer to roughly assess the quality of a tire, the European Union has begun to use a new label (on the right) indicating the level of three qualities of this particular tire. Tires that come to Belarus from Europe have this label. Tires made in Russia or China, as a rule, do not have such a designation.

11 summer tires in size 205/55 R16. All tire test results

The level of efficiency and safety of tires intended for the Chinese market is far behind the level of good European tires. In particular, the performance of these tires on wet roads is extremely unsafe: the length of the braking distance rolls over. But, as Chinese consumers love, tire noise is really low. Perhaps the acoustic comfort of Chinese tires is quite convincing. But for us Europeans, safety always comes first.

Having begun the expansion of its tire products to the world market, China, following affordable truck tires, quickly mastered the production of rubber for cars and crossovers. And if five years ago the purchase of Chinese tires was considered only in extreme cases (with an acute shortage of funds), today tires from the Middle Kingdom are slowly but surely pushing traditional brands on the market. The preparation of raw materials has changed, Chinese production has become more modern and technologically advanced, and the price of tires has practically remained the same, and if it has changed, then not so significantly. Such metamorphoses with Chinese products are not new on the market for a long time. More and more buyers are leaning towards Chinese-made tires in their choice, wanting to pay a fair price for the product, and not for its name.

The basis of affordable cost, sadly to admit, is the low wages of Chinese workers. And if in other countries, with such pay, the employees of the company will work very badly, then in China it is a taboo, discipline in this country has always been in the first place. Chinese tire factories tend to have established distribution channels. Usually these are car dealers or large trading companies for which the image is a very sensitive issue. Buying tires in popular and trusted online stores, car dealerships (service centers), etc. will help you avoid a lot of unpleasant surprises. As a rule, such points of sale support the manufacturer's warranty, which gives additional confidence in the quality of the purchased products.

Where not to buy Chinese tires

When buying Chinese-made rubber, there is still a risk of purchasing low-quality products. As a rule, such tires are produced by small cooperative artels that use the cheapest raw materials, outdated equipment and manual labor in their production. They attract unscrupulous merchants with an already low price, as well as skillfully disguising their goods as the products of large tire factories. In this regard, the fact where you buy a Chinese tire is of great importance. The smaller the outlet, the more likely it is to purchase illiquid goods under the guise of factory products.

TOP 7 Best Chinese Tire Brands

Below is an overview selection of the best Chinese tire brands. The trademarks included in our rating certainly deserve your attention.

7 Antares

The most practical tires
Country: China
Rating (2019): 4.5

This rubber is produced at the plant, during the construction of which (2007) all the technical documentation for the production of Bridgestone was used. Japanese high-end equipment and quality control system does not allow tires to be produced even with a slight hint of marriage. The fact is that the state control is established over the enterprise, which reacts very harshly (and sometimes cruelly) to deviations in work from the set priorities. This approach guarantees the highest possible quality of the products and full compliance with the declared properties. Antares tires are successfully mastering the budget niche of the global car tire market, offering the consumer to pay the most fair price.

In our domestic Chinese tire market, the Antares INGENS A1 occupies a special place. A large size range covers almost the entire range of passenger cars - from the most common diameter R 13 to premium, R 20. The speed index of premium tires (Y) is the same as that of more expensive (at times) models. This indicator is especially relevant for low-profile tires - there are such tires in the Antares INGENS A1 model range. In their reviews, the owners note the remarkable qualities and practicality in operation. Not outstanding and unique properties, but those that in the usual daily routine of city trips behave very dignified and reliable. When attempting extreme driving on these tires, they quickly return the "pilot" to the ground, showing a delay in response to vigorous steering turns at high speed.

6 Kinoforest

The Quietest Tires
Country: China
Rating (2019): 4.5

A new Chinese tire manufacturing facility appeared in 2007. During the construction of the plant, a modern technological project was used, capable of competing on equal terms with the leaders of the tire market. As a result of these efforts, today the company is successfully expanding into the international space, producing high-quality tires for luxury cars. This means that the design of the tires is based on innovative developments that allow the product to obtain unique properties. No tire will leave the factory grounds unless it passes a balance test and a structural uniformity test. The presence of international certificates of conformity documented the excellent performance of Kinforest rubber.

On the territory of Russia, the Chinese Kinforest KF-717, designed for crossovers and SUVs, is very popular. Given the large dimensions of the wheels (R 18 and above), comfortable tires were quite expensive for the owners of such cars. This was the case until Kforest appeared on the market.

5 Sunny

Excellent handling. Reliability
Country: China
Rating (2019): 4.6

Sunny is a medium-sized tire company from China with an annual production capacity of about 4 million tires. In the development of the technological cycle of its enterprise, the company's management tries to adhere to the golden mean - to produce a quality product at the lowest possible cost. The latest equipment and technical developments of engineers from Germany, the USA, Japan and other leading countries have allowed the company to gain a foothold not only in the domestic market - Chinese SUNNY tires are also world-famous. This is confirmed by the use of various tire models for equipping new passenger cars by Audi, Mazda, Volkswagen, Nissan (for commercial electric vehicles).

In the Russian market, the top sales among Chinese-made tires include the SUNNY SN3970 model. Sizes from R 16 to R 20 allow the use of rubber not only on passenger cars. The owners of crossovers who preferred this brand did not regret at all - the tires are quiet, have excellent handling both on highways and on country roads. The fairly stiff tire handles well at high speeds, but is slightly noisier than the Michelin Pilot Primacy when running. However, Sunny tires have another trump card - the price.

4 Goodride

Better handling. High wear resistance
Country: China
Rating (2019): 4.6

Modern Chinese production was organized on the basis of the old state-owned tire factory. Hangzhou Jones Rubber has launched a global technological change that has led the company to success and popularity - 17 million sets of tires of various models and categories are produced annually. The products have not only Chinese quality certificates, but also received worldwide recognition - the certification of the US Department of Transportation, the European Economic Commission and INMETRO (Brazil) has been successfully passed. The production has also received high marks and boasts an international ISO quality control certificate.

Our market is also attractive for the famous Chinese brand - there is a wide range of tires for cars, SUVs and many other vehicles, including special ones. In our market, the Goodride SV308 model is very popular. It has excellent balance and handling, with a rigid sidewall, is quite comfortable and stands out for good wear resistance. A wide selection of sizes (from R 15 to R 20) with excellent load parameters and speed index (up to W) allows these tires to be used not only on many brands of cars and crossovers, but also for small commercial vehicles.

3 Triangle

Economical. Natural raw materials
Country: China
Rating (2019): 4.8

The Chinese brand Triangle entered the top of our rating because the company uses natural rubber as a raw material for the production of tires. All tires have excellent balance and low rolling resistance, which reduces the fuel consumption of a passenger car. In order to increase consumer demand, Chinese production has introduced a strict quality control system, which includes ultrasound and x-ray checks, as well as balancing tests. This rigor allows you to screen out tires with a defect even at the factory and completely eliminates the possibility of a defective product falling into the hands of the buyer. The company's products have successfully passed the international ISO, ECE and DOT certification, which documented the high quality of products.

In our country, the Triangle Group Sportex TSH11 / Sports model for crossovers and small commercial vehicles is very popular and in demand. The price of large diameter tires delights car owners. After getting acquainted in practice with the characteristics of these tires, high directional stability, low noise level and no noticeable difference in comparison with leading brands are noted.

2 Sailun

Best value for money
Country: China
Rating (2019): 5.0

Appeared on the basis of the Qingdao Scientific and Economic Development Center (an analogue of the Russian Skolkovo), the tire concern is one of the largest manufacturers in China, producing modern high-tech tire models. The Chinese production has received high marks from leading international quality control organizations, as a result of which the concern has received 9 patents. High quality and affordable price have led to an avalanche of filling the world market with Chinese Sailun tires for crossovers, passenger cars and trucks.

In the Russian market, this brand is recognizable and popular - many owners have tested them in operation, and in most cases they were satisfied. Of course, the quality of tires will be somewhat lower than those of popular European manufacturers, but the surprisingly affordable and attractive price completely eliminates this point. Sailun Atrezzo Elite tires are quite soft and quiet, they run 50-60 thousand, they behave confidently on roads with different surfaces. The Sailun Ice Blazer line of tires are successfully replacing premium tires on SUVs and crossovers - they have similar properties, but with a huge price difference in their favor. Tires for Sailun Terramax CVR SUVs are distinguished by high strength and wear resistance - these are the characteristics given in their reviews by owners who have tested these tires in practice.

1 Maxxis

Most popular tires
Country: Taiwan
Rating (2019): 5.0

In 2008, Maxxis made its first appearance in the world ranking of car tire manufacturers, immediately taking 12th place, bringing turnover to $ 2 billion. Since then, the popularity of this brand has only been growing, the best tire models continue to successfully conquer the world market, including the Russian one. The fact that 25% of all manufactured tires are used in new cars only confirms the high quality of the products. This rubber can be found on brand new Nissan, Chrysler, Peugeot, G-Em, Hyundai Toyota, Ford and Volkswagen sedans and crossovers.

Among the large assortment of tire products of the company, there are three models that have received the greatest sympathy and preferences among Russian buyers. The top 3 included the following tires:

• Maxxis Bravo HP-M3;
• Maxxis Arctic Trekker NS3;
• Maxxis Victra M-36;

In their reviews, the owners admire the excellent technical characteristics and properties of these tires - comfort, excellent handling, high wear resistance and a key difference - a low and affordable price. This is especially pronounced when choosing tires for crossovers and SUVs - the difference in price with traditional and popular brands reaches 100%. As a result, even popular tires like the Michelin Latitude Sport look less desirable than the Maxxis Bravo HP-M3.

China never ceases to amaze. More recently, starting its entry into the world market, it produced extremely inexpensive wheels for trucks. Today, manufacturers from this country have easily mastered the production of crossovers and cars and are confidently pushing the famous European and American brands. But some five years ago, motorists bought Chinese tires only in the most extreme cases, when there was not enough money.

Chinese production for cars has become more technologically advanced and more modern. The preparation of the necessary raw materials for products has also changed. The only thing that has remained the same is the cost. She still pleases everyone in the world.

Now, when high-quality products from China are confidently advancing around the world, more and more people choose them. After all, many do not want to pay just for a big name. But which company should you choose? Which one is better? Our small rating will help answer all your questions.

The best tires from China

We have selected the best companies from China that deserve to be in our rating. Here they are.

The ANTARES plant was built in 2007. In this case, the documentation of the famous Japanese brand Bridgestone was used. Marriage on this first-class equipment with quality control is simply not possible. Any deviations from the necessary priorities are reacted very harshly by the control established over the plant.

Thanks to this, the products have a very high breakdown and all the characteristics declared by the manufacturer. At the same time, the company offers consumers a fairly low price, as it is developing a budget niche.

Wheels called Antares INGENS A1 are very popular in the Russian market. Their size range (from standard R 13 to premium R 20) easily covers almost all passenger cars. For various low-profile tires, the speed index is very relevant, which here is the same as that of the famous European models.

What else is special about these wheels? First of all, it should be noted that they have great practicality in use and excellent control qualities. However, we must remember that these are not some unique properties. In the city routine, they are very reliable, but in very extreme driving, these tires very quickly return the driver to the ground with a delay in response to fast steering turns. This should be remembered so as not to get into an awkward situation.

Kinforest was founded in 2007. For the construction of a large plant, an up-to-date technological project was used. It was thanks to him that Kinforest was able to compete with real leaders almost on an equal footing.

Currently, as a result of the efforts made at the beginning of its journey, this brand is quite successfully mastering the entire world market, producing high-quality products for a variety of elite cars.

The manufacturer obtains the special characteristics of its tires due to the fact that a variety of innovative solutions are used in their design. The quality factor of all brand products, which undergoes a mandatory check for overall structural uniformity and a special balancing test, is documented, confirming the presence of many international certificates. The buyer can be sure that he will never come across a marriage.

A model called Kinforest KF-717 is now popular in the domestic market. It is designed for a variety of SUVs. Previously, for the owners of such cars, the purchase of comfortable wheels, given their large dimension, was very expensive. But that all changed with the advent of the amazing Kinforest products. From now on, lovers of SUVs can not deny themselves the purchase of good wheels.

This brand produces about 4 million wheels every year. In its development, he tries to adhere to the so-called golden mean, that is, to produce high-quality products at an affordable price. These tires are well established not only in their country, but also gained worldwide fame. All this became possible thanks to the technical developments of professional engineers from developed countries and the latest professional equipment.

Our top seller includes a sample called SUNNY SN3970. In addition to its main advantage, a democratic price, it will interest any motorist with excellent handling on any roads, low noise level, as well as great confidence at any speed. This hard tire can be used on both cars and trucks. After all, sizes from R 16 to R 20 allow this. Thus, the popularity of the SUNNY brand is well deserved.

The old factory has now been transformed into a modern GOODRIDE production facility. Today, it produces 17 million sets of various designs every year. This has been made possible by great technological innovations.

The giant, in addition to certification by INMETRO and the American Transportation Department, has an ISO certificate. Thus, the brand has received full global recognition.

We also get prototypes of this brand. To date, these are prototypes for passenger cars, all kinds of SUVs and other equipment. Among the most popular organization rubber in Russia is the Goodride SV308. Why do our people love her so much? There are several reasons for this:

• Excellent wear resistance. You will not need to change the spare tire after a short time, regardless of the level of difficulty of the roadway.
• Great ride comfort.
• Large range of sizes.
• Excellent handling and balance.
• Excellent load characteristics.

All this makes it possible to use this rubber both on small commercial vehicles, and on off-road vehicles and passenger cars.

The peculiarity of this brand is that it uses rubber for production. TRIANGLE has low rolling resistance and excellent balance, which significantly reduces gasoline consumption. In the production of the organization, general quality control has been introduced to increase consumer demand. Balancing tests are used, as well as X-ray and even ultrasound checks. Thus, getting a marriage to the buyer is completely excluded. TRIANGLE's high quality factor is documented as a successful ISO certification.

The Triangle Group Sportex TSH11 is the brand's most popular crossover model in our market. Many are enthused by the cost of these large tires. Among the advantages:

• Low noise level.
• No big difference compared to leading brands.
• Sustainability.

These are the main advantages for which it is worth buying this particular product.

One of the largest Chinese manufacturers today is the SAILUN concern. Its products are technological and modern models. Various well-known quality control organizations rated this firm highly enough, thanks to which the giant received nine patents. The rapid filling of the entire world market with various tires of this company for cars and any trucks has become affordable due to the affordable cost and fairly good quality.

As for our domestic segment, this brand of tires is quite popular. Everyone is usually happy.

It is worth noting that the quality factor of the company is slightly lower than that of well-known manufacturers from Europe, but a very affordable price does its job. Sailun Atrezzo Elite are soft and very quiet tires that are not afraid of difficult roads and surfaces. Another example, Ice Blazer, is gradually replacing premium tires on crossovers. Terramax CVR is very durable and wear resistant for various off-road vehicles.

This brand appeared in 2008 and very quickly brought its turnover to an incredible 2 billion US dollars. Popularity is only growing, various models are gradually conquering a variety of segments.

Car owners love this brand for excellent handling, amazing wear resistance and comfort. In addition, MAXXIS pleases with its fairly affordable price, which does not affect the high standard of products. For example, the difference in cost with European and American brands for SUVs reaches 100%. In this regard, MAXXIS products are very popular among the population of Russia.

Conclusion

So, we found out that buying Chinese car tires is no longer an extreme measure, but an opportunity to get excellent quality at a more affordable price than famous brands in Europe and Japan offer. The main thing is to purchase such products in trusted outlets and you will definitely be satisfied, like your car.

According to Russian law, from December to February, a mandatory period for driving on winter tires is established. Depending on the actual onset of winter, local authorities determine the time themselves, because snow can fall as early as November, and disappear only at the end of March.

However, winter tires are a guarantee of safe driving, so motorists with such serious questions do not joke and disciplinedly change tires for their “iron horses”.

If your choice is tire products from Chinese manufacturers, below we have compiled TOP 5 the best brands in China. The rating is based on feedback from motorists who have tested tires from various companies in real conditions.

5. GOODRIDE- comfortable and reliable
