With the departure of Western tire manufacturers, the Russian market has been filled with various analogues from the East. Chinese manufacturers claim that the performance properties of their product are not inferior to European ones, however, in reality, this is not always the case. Information collected over several years of the Chinese automotive industry's presence in the market suggests that Chinese tires are often unsuitable for use in difficult road and weather conditions.
Many have encountered very unpleasant features of the "Chinese industrial miracle." In 2022-2023, people, as a rule, "finished off" their tires: traditional suppliers left, there was no wide choice in terms of type and size, and sellers "broke the price," selling off the remnants. But after "driving" into 2024 on tires like "lysen", many, having soberly reasoned that tires are cheaper than iron, went to the stores...
The most serious problem was the storage of Chinese tires. In just one season, it can get deformations incompatible with further use, even balancing cannot fix the problem. Using such tires at speeds above 40-50 km/h can lead to loss of control and accidents. Therefore, when buying tires, you should pay attention not only to the price, but also to customer reviews and independent tests. Sometimes buying a more expensive set in the long term can save much more money than buying a budget one and saving in the moment.
