It is the first well-known foreign tire brand to invest and build a factory in China, second only to Bridgestone and Michelin in terms of global business scale, and ranked third in the world in tire sales in 2017. Hardcore, wear-resistant, and noisy are the inherent impressions that Goodyear gives to consumers, and there have been quality accidents such as tire peeling in some batches, coupled with high pricing, resulting in a poor reputation. Fortunately, the first and second generations of the royal ride have been launched one after another, especially the latter, which has been well received by consumers in terms of comfort, quietness, performance, etc., and is often compared with Michelin 3ST and Continental CC series, and the reputation has been improved. In many authoritative evaluations, Goodyear tires are at the forefront of the industry except for the relatively backward ice braking, and other core performances are excellent. Goodyear tires are mainly divided into Eagle series, Assurance series, and other durable Duraplus series and Optilife series. The tires of the Eagle series meet the sports handling while taking into account ...

NEXEN Korea

Nexans is one of the top three tire manufacturers in Korea and the first manufacturer in Korea to successfully produce tires for automobiles. In the Korean household car market, Nexans has a market share of more than 30%. Nexans, which is also Korean, is far less well-known in China than Hankook, which has a lot to do with Nexans' market strategy. While one of its three current factories is in Qingdao, China, the largest sales regions are in Europe and North America, which account for 21 percent of Nexans' global sales. In recent years, sales have shifted to Europe. On the other hand, in the domestic market, Nexans has performed well in the original tire market, covering most of the original tires of Korean brand vehicles, while the retail market is relatively bleak, and in the case of a shortage of agents and specialty stores, Nexans' sales are only comparable to those of third- and fourth-tier brands.

In the 2017 Beijing Consumers Association tire comparison test, Yokohama's rolling resistance was the lowest among the 26 tires, reaching the European standard B grade, and most of the other tires were C grades. But compared with the same Japanese Bridgestone and Dunlop, Yokohama is not popular in the domestic market, in addition to the lack of brand publicity, the quality of its tires accidents are frequent, according to the statistics of China Tire Complaint Network, in 2016 Yokohama was complained about 62, ranking among the top five tire complaints. The reason for the complaint is mainly tire peeling and cracking, which is likely to come from its manufacturing process problems, resulting in insufficient strength of the rubber under the tread, and it is easy to bulge and pack the tread after impact.

The Comfort228V1 is its upgraded product, and the overall performance is the same as the previous model, although it is not as good as the Michelin Primacy 3ST, Continental MC5, CC6, and Goodyear Imperial series, but its price is half cheaper.

Chaoyang is a tire brand under Zhongce Rubber Group, which is currently the largest tire manufacturer in China, ranking 8th in global sales in 2017, and the first Chinese mainland enterprise to pass the ISO/TS16949 automotive industry quality management system certification.

In the test of the automobile illustrated, Chaoyang SA-37 ranked low, and most of the items ranked in the lower middle, of which the rolling resistance was the first from the bottom, indicating that its fuel economy was poor, but it ranked first in the anti-slip ability of the wetland, and the straight-line drainage performance of the wetland was also very good. Overall, Chaoyang Tire is still at a disadvantage compared to other international brands, its price is generally low, and its affordable pricing and optimization for China's road conditions are its biggest advantages. There is still a big gap between the ECOMFORT series and the sporty SA37 and SA57 tires of the same type with other brands. The SA37 is officially defined as a sports luxury sedan tire with a focus on handling. But in fact, in addition to its good performance in wetlands, it is comfortable...
