The best Chinese tires in winter. Which Chinese brands produce the best quality tires for passenger cars. Now we will walk on the strengths

the main / Protection \\ Hydones

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 South Korea, and recently everyone talks 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.

To believe real reviews, Tries "Triangle", 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 famous 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, 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. Good quality protector, democratic value and excellent wear resistance - the main characteristics 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 characteristicsoh 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 - more landed summer option, 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 better options For budget cars with landing destination in the R14-R16 range.


Infinity.

Here is a typical example of abuse by the name of the famous brand. In contrast to the Japanese brand, Chinese does not suffer a mania of greatness - its tires can be called just 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. individual manufacture Tires. By the way, her the lineup It is impossible to 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 rankings of Chinese tires, the brand is constantly included in the top 10, releaseing rubber mainly for passenger carsmobile 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. Wherein price policy Companies are quite democratic.

In Russia, the Inges A1 models have a special place. It is characterized by practical full cover All sizes for passenger cars, from the minimum R13 to the 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 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.

According to Russian legislation from December to February, a mandatory ride time has been established on winter tires. Depending on the real occurrence of winter, the local authorities independently determine the term, because the snow can be buried in November, and only in the end of March.

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.

Video: review about winter tires "Sunny"

Shinniki from China very actively conquer markets around the world. Our has become an exception. If a few years ago, the Chinese tires were synonymous with low quality, and only the last lines occupied in the tests, then now the situation has changed dramatically. According to the reviews of the owners of Chinese tires and the results of numerous tests, you can find very worthy models whose quality is at the level of European, Japanese or Korean, and the price is significantly lower.

We decided to submit a small review of Chinese summer tiresIn our opinion, are a worthy alternative to domestic or foreign tires. Given the huge range of Chinese tires, we tried to choose those that have decent performance characteristics and an acceptable price.

Let's start our review from the company, the products of which are known worldwide - Triangle Tire. Especially the tires of this brand are popular in the North America market. Having low cost and good quality, the company actively displaces not only American manufacturers, but also such giants like: Michelin, Yokohama, Continental, Pirelli.

Model Triangle TH201 SPORTEX is positioned as a tire with sports characteristics. Offered big choice sizes, therefore, it can buy both the owner of a small compact car and an SUV.

Tire Protector Asmetry with wide longitudinal grooves for water removal and developed transverse drainage system. The central part consists of three large wide rigors. Extreme edge separated from outside Protector with a narrow drainage groove and intersecting drainage. The water removal system itself is well thought out, although due to the fact that the grooves in the shoulder tread zones are closed and not connected to the main, say that TH201 will be perfectly cope with the aquaplaning, it is impossible. According to the reviews of many owners, the behavior of rubber on the wet road and in the rain predictable, but still, it will not be superfluous to follow the safe speed mode. On the dry road, Triangle TH201 looks more confident and is never inferior to expensive, premium brands.

The quality of the rubber compound meets all modern challenges. In addition to excellent coupling properties on dry asphalt, Triangle TH201 is very quiet, and resistant to wear. Despite the small value of Treadwear in 280 units (in the amount of 205/55/16), the figure is more than real, which is particularly surprising when it comes to Chinese products, where it is customary to overestimate real indicators. According to the reviews of rubber owners, running 50 thousand minimal, which can run off the tire, and with a calm ride style, you can count on all 70.


The tire is quite comfortable in motion, but it is impossible to be called soft. Board tough, but not oak, as often happens on domestic rubber. In turns of the tire enters confidently, it does not roll, she is heavily held in a given trajectory of movement.

What is important, the TRIANGE TH201 model is certified by European and American standards, therefore, sold in the markets of Europe and the United States. In the dimension 205/55/16 in Euro Archirovka, there is "C" indices in the level of adhesion with wet road and "C" in terms of efficiency. Noise does not exceed 70DB. Quite good indicators for tires from the budget price segment.

It should be noted that the Chinese in the course of working on the TRIANGLE TH201 model applied their favorite copy principle. Yes, the MICHELIN PILOT Sport model was most likely taken as the initial sample 2. Compare a photo of two models on the Internet, the similarity can be seen with the naked eye. But, for the sake of justice it is worth saying that the copy turned out with decent characteristics, little in what is the inferior to the original, the price to which is at least twice as high.

Sailun is one of the largest not only in China, but also the world. Only in ten years, this manufacturer of tires from the Middle Kingdom committed a real breakthrough as and the number of products produced. Today, Sailun Tires enters the top 20 largest tire concerns.

Sailun Atrezzo Elite Sailun Atrezzo ELITE model is designed specifically for the European market. Positioned like High Performance Class Tires and can be operated on medium-sized and compact passenger cars.

Tires asymmetric at the form of the location and number of circular drainage grooves resemble premium tires Continental or michelin. Three central ribs are hard with reinforced checkers in the shoulder zone. This layout makes the tire as sustainable and tenacious on the dry road. In improving the tire clutch with a wet road, an additional element is a plurality of narrow cuts on the central edges and transverse grooves on the external and inner side. According to the reviews of many owners, Rubber is equally well rolling along a dry and wet road. According to the system of Euromarcirovka in dimension 205/55/16, the Sailun Atrezzo Elite model has a class "B" for grip with a wet road. According to the economy "E", and the noise of 70DB is the result at the level of good premium models.

Tire boards are soft, but not so much to fear of our roads. Michelin Energy Saver, Matador Heectorra 3 or Kormoran High Performance Side Snapper is much softer, which does not give the tire of reliability.


Despite the positioning of the tire as High Performance, it is more suitable for lovers of comfortable and quiet driving on the highway or city roads. The Treadwear index in 380 units, the manufacturer probably overestimated, though, the bus without problems runs 50 thousand km. and more. It all depends on the driving manner.

The Sailun Atrezzo Elite model was tested in 2019. the magazine car center and even occupied among nine models last placeShe should pay tribute, since, among the competitors there were tires that would not attach to budget, which only worth: Michelin Primacy 3, Goodyear EfficientGrip SUV., Nokian Hakka Blue 2 SUV.

Sailun, though he lost in all the characteristics of the leaders, but scored the same number of points with Toyo proxes. CF2 and Kumho Ecowing ES01 KH27 in disciplines such as: braking efficiency on dry asphalt, handling.

Sailun Atrezzo Elite has low rolling resistance, as well as, in checking the effects of tires on the suspension resource, they lost only Maxxis Premitra HP5. This suggests that the Sailun Atrezzo Elite model has a small weight and smaller sidewall rigidity than the test leaders, which is positive for the chassis, but requires some caution when driving in bad roads.

If you are not an active driver, with the need to have highly efficient tires for aggressive ride, and look for comfortable, reliable and safe tires for everyday use and at an inexpensive price, then Sailun Atrezzo Elite will be a good choice.

Under this brand Chinese Quingdao Sentury Tire releases passenger tires High Performance class. One of the most famous Landsail LS588 model in domestic and overseas markets.

High performance tires with excellent coupling characteristics on a wet and dry road, and also provide a high level of comfort, low-noise and efficiency.

The model is the LANDSAIL LS988, which are removed from production in 2015. After the emergence of new items in the face of Landsail LS588. High specifications The models are estimated by Test World's experts in 2015, for which the tire ranked 8th, overtaking Michelin Primacy 3 premium tires, Vredestein Sportrac 5, as well as the models of the medium segment, like Barum Bravuris 3HM and Firestone TZ300A.


Experts noted good braking on a dry road and a high level of comfort. Thanks to the softness, the compound of the tire effectively swallows all the irregularities of the road surface, and the noise level coming into the cabin is minimal. At the same time, not the best coupling properties with wet roads prevented Landsail LS588 rise to the level above. For lovers, driving at high speed on the wet road is not the most successful option, but compliance speed \u200b\u200bregime All will even in the rain it is quite normal to go on this rubber.

There is nothing unusual in the protecture. Asymmetric design with three wide ribs in the center. Four ring grooves - a hint of premium, and the closed outdoor blocks of the shoulder zone paired with a high-quality compound make a bus almost silent (70DB for European labeling in dimension 205/55/16). Central tread blocks dissect smooth and zigzag drainage grooves, for more efficient water removal outward. Assessment on the same euromarkovka on the resistance to the aquaplaning "B", and on saving fuel "C", which for Chinese, and even a budget tire, a great achievement. Landsail LS588 is a serious competitor for premium models.

In the subway, there are not only its tires, but also their authoritative automotive publications. "Motor Trend" Popular Avtogiworn, recognized the LANDSAIL LS588 model best tire In the Chinese market in terms of price and quality ratio. Make conclusions.

Tires under the Kinforest brand have long been known for their high quality, impeccable reliability and set of excellent performance. Brand belongs to Kinforest Tyre Co. Ltd, which produces tires under Mayrun and Kinforest brands. The main products are summer and winter tires of the High Performance. A significant part of products is exported to the countries of Asia, America and Europe. All products are certified according to the international quality system and is the toughest technical control.

Model summer tires KF550 is not so well known in our market, but European and American drivers have already appreciated all the strengths of this rubber.

KINFOREST KF550 - Rubber with improved running qualities. It has excellent clutch on a wet and dry road, which is largely due to the use of a modern rubber compound. Wet & Dry Handling technology improves water removal from the contact spot and allows you to maximize the clutch in conditions of high humidity.

The central zone of the tread consists of three solid ribs of stiffness dissected by narrow sliding grooves. The protector blocks of the shoulder zone are open, which makes this tire efficient when driving on a wet road and in the rain. Water without lingering is displayed through a developed drainage system outward.

The lateral part of the tire is rigid to measure, which is an additional element of strength and good coursework. On the track of the tire does not float, keeps a predetermined trajectory of movement. Rounded blocks of the shoulder zone give rubber additional stability on the wet road when maneuvers and have a positive effect on acoustic comfort.


As for rubber, the Summer model AH03 Precisionace 2 in value refers to the category of budget tires, and according to the characteristics, it may well remove with more named models. Designed for all types of passenger cars.

The composition of the rubber mixture is designed with the operation of tires on wet roads, therefore, the rubber is well adapted and under increased humidity. AH03 Precisionace 2 shows efficient braking, low rolling resistance, good stability on any road.


Protector with asymmetric pattern. The central part consists of three wide solid ribs separated by four ring grooves. Shoulder zone tread units closed with rounded edges. This structure slightly reduces the efficiency of water removal from the central zone, but has a positive effect on noise. Of constructive features Rubber can be separated small notches on the central blocks in the form of narrow curved and cone-shaped, expanding to central drainage. This form allows you to optimize the spook contact of the tire with wet road, increase the resistance to the aquaplaning.

For how well, the company's engineers coped with their task showed recent tests conducted by the authoritative German edition of ADAC. In the course of assessing the efficiency of tires, 16 models were tested in dimension of 195/65/15. The AEOLUS AH03 Precisionace 2 summer tire model received a "satisfactory" rating and in many ways surprised by experts with good coupling properties not only on dry (which is even inherent in cheap budget plates), and most importantly, on a wet road.

It was noted: good clutch, braking and time of passing the wet route. Supposed Aeolus AH03 Precisionace 2 tires, and did not allow an opportunity to get the rating "good" is not the best wear resistance and fuel voraciousness.

It is worth noting that the Leadership of Precisionace 2 tires are far from budget: Dunlop Sport Bluresponse, Nokian Line, Michelin Energy Saver +, Vredestein Sportrac 5, Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125.

If you evaluate the data of the European tire marking, because Aeolus AH03 Precisionace 2 is mainly oriented to the European market, then, in the dimension of 205/55/16, the fuel economy tires received an estimate "E". By grip with a wet road "b". Noise level does not exceed 71DB.

Automobile portal Pcauto decided to spend its own tire test and find out what imagine budget tires local production. Tires from DoubleStar, Linglong and Warrior size 205/55 R16, which is the most popular in the Chinese market. Tire cost varies from 200 to 300 yuan (1,900 - 2,900 rubles), and experts noted that in this segment a lot from tires should not be expected, and many car owners are well understood, so it is important for them first that tires are not Valid loud noise and served as long as possible. All tires in the dough have indexes of speed and load V and 91, respectively.

DoubleStar DH06 belong to the tire category increased comfort, as a result, possess a pattern with an optimized step, which reduces noise levels. In addition, silica was added to the rubber mixture, which allowed to reduce resistance to rolling for fuel economy.

Tires DoubleStar DU05 higher class than DoubleStar DH06, so it's a little more expensive. The tires are distinguished by an asymmetrical pattern designed to improve the controllability on dry and wet coverage, and the compound has been changed to increase the efficiency of fuel consumption.

Linglong L788 with its drawing of the tread immediately gives out its age, and this model really was represented many years ago. Tires have an edge design that improves stability, while wide longitudinal grooves are responsible for the removal of water from the contact stain.

Asymmetric Warrior R30 is characterized by a manufacturer as a tire with a very high operational resource, which allowed them to become quite popular in China.

In front of the tests, the experts measured hardness in Shore all tires and their weight. Linglong was tough and potentially the most durable, while DoubleStar DH06 tires possess the smallest weight. In addition, it is noted that the second model from DoubleStar is distinguished by the largest amount of framework / sidewall layers, which speaks in favor of their strength and reliability.

Tests were carried out at the Polygon in Guangzhou with solar weather and air temperature from 25 to 29 degrees.

In tests used car Chevrolet Cruze 2018 release.

The first test was measured in the car's cabin at a speed of 60, 80 and 100 km / h.

At 60 km / h DoubleStar DH06 and Linglong is clearly better in terms of acoustic comfort, and after increasing the speed of 20 km / h, the first model continues to show good result, while the second sharply increases the volume of the noise published and becomes worse in this indicator. At 100 km / h tires are noisy about the same volume. Subjective estimates of experts, which were taken on the first place of the Warrior tires. The worst were recognized by Linglong, which have a very loud noise in the middle speed range.

In the second discipline, the time was measured for which the car accelerates up to 100 km / h on a dry coating. The temperature during the arrival was 25-28 degrees.

Linglong tires with their "old-fashioned" design unexpectedly ahead of all competitors, and they did it with such a margin that they did not have to doubt their advantage. Experts also noted that only Linglong did not publish any protesting sounds and did not slip on the start.

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

All four tires showed almost the same results, and the best with a slight advantage of Doublestar DU05. It remains to regret that the PSUTO has no opportunity to carry out a similar test on the wet coverage.

To evaluate the economy of tires, the car accelerates to 60 km / h, included neutral speed and waited until it stops, after which the distance was measured, which the car was held during a slowdown from 55 to 0 km / h. The distance is larger, the smaller the rolling resistance of the tires.

And again, Linglong tires are becoming the best, which, judging by the test results, 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 tire when the snake passes.

Linglong tires were recognized as the best in terms of stability and stability of the clutch. According to experts, the tires are not prone to a sharp loss of clutch, and when it is lost, it is quickly restored. In general, Linglong can provide better controls during a sharp maneuver among tested tires. Two DoubleStar models behave not so confidently and may unexpectedly start slipping, and as for Warrior, their behavior is quite predictable, but the clutch level is generally lower than that of other tires in the test.

As tests have shown, all tires have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the tires from DoubleStar turned out to be the most balanced tires, which did not show brilliant results in any of the disciplines. Linglong tires demonstrated very good driving qualities, at least on dry coating. At the same time, they have problems with the suppression of noise, and it is impossible not to be considered. Warrior tires, who are just the best estimates for acoustic comfort, while have the highest price.
