Taotao as 8The owner of the 5th generation Malibu, in one of the former Sample models, I chose to have a car size that is large enough and also quite cost-effective. Released in August 2016, Taotao bought this car in September, although almost 8 years have passed, its performance and stability are still quite reliable.
As a wearing part, although the replacement cycle is not short, it is also an important accessory that cannot be ignored. Moreover, as the only part of the vehicle that is in contact with the ground, it has a certain service life and mileage. The general service life is 3-5 years, and the mileage is 6-80,000 kilometers, of course, the service life of the tire is often related to the owner's driving style and road conditions.
Now the tires used in the car are produced in the 44th week of 19, and the number of kilometers run in the past five years is more than 60,000, plus the new year, so it was decided to put the tire change on the agenda.
Due to the size of the original car with 225 60R16 (Taotao's Malibu is 17 comfortable), the size of the original car will be considered while changing the tire, because the road is relatively urban and better road sections, although the amount of wear is less, but there are still more small cracks on the tires, so from a safety point of view, the tire change has to be put on the agenda!
Since the mileage of Taotao is nearly 20,000 miles a year, it is not only about comfort, but also about economy. The first-line big brands are definitely not in consideration (because of the lack of cost performance), and more are considering the sub-brands of the big brands, so they took a fancy to Nexans' Shenyi tires in Tuhu.
From the label map, you can not only see the brand of Shenyi tires and the size of the selected tires, but also the brand endorsed by Nexans, which is based on the actual road conditions in China and the driving habits of Chinese users.
What kind of brand has enough confidence to not only provide 3-year tire protection, but also take into account ultra-long mileage, wet safety, quiet comfort and double-layer sidewall, which may only be the oldest of the three major tire companies in South Korea, Nexans, can provide such a guarantee.
Seeing the new tires unpacked for peripheral protection, the first thing to do is to check some basic parameters, and Taotao starts with the Shenyi Pilotnet HP series - worry-free wetlands and ultra-long mileage. It can be seen that Taotao's tires are 39 weeks at the end of 2023, and there is only less than a March interval between January 2024, which is installed on Taotao, and it can be seen from this that the sales of Shenyi in China are still considerable. The model is the same as the 225 60R16 98H of the original Taotao car.
The widened 3+1 drainage trench design brings effective wet braking from a maximum depth of 790mm to 739mm, only enough depth to fit the width to bring strong drainage, destroy the water film layer covering the surface of the tire, even in heavy rain, can ensure that the tire and the ground have a large enough grip area, improve the vehicle in the wet braking effect.
The small pattern design of the shoulder can reach 7 in the deepest depth63mm, from the deep to the shallow division of the internal structure of the heat source of the tire is optimized design, so as to naturally and quickly release the heat generated by the carcass cord, and then improve the high-speed durability of the tire, in order to truly achieve a longer driving life.
If the design of wear resistance is at the technical level, but with the blessing of its new silicone formula technology, it fundamentally solves the problem of safety and wear resistance. The silicon-containing polymer layer not only strengthens the coefficient of friction between the tire and the ground, but also improves the grip stability and safety of the vehicle. Similarly, the silicone material has good wear resistance and heat dissipation, which can effectively extend the service life of tires and bring longer mileage.
In the process of changing tires, the technicians of Tuhu Factory are still very professional, and they feel that the process is very clear, and the standardized training seems to be in place. After removing the old tires, the new tires are first installed on the wheels, and with professional equipment, it is still very convenient to operate.
After installing the tires, it is necessary to carry out the process of inflating, and in the process of inflating, I learned that Tuhu has quite high requirements for the air in the tires! Tuhu fills the tires with nitrogen, not air, and friends who have studied chemistry know that the chemical properties of nitrogen are very inactive, so the stability in the tires is not a little stronger than that of air, which should be praised by Tuhu!
Balancing is the process that must be gone through to change the tire, but the smaller the balance value of the installation, the better, the ideal value of inner and outer is 00, but in fact, as long as both values are lower than 10g, it is OK. In the actual installation process, Tuhu's installer controls the values within 5G.
Equipped with the Tuhu's air mouth, the festive red color makes people instantly feel the new year and new atmosphere, just like Taotao changing new tires!
After changing into a new tire, Dabao feels like an old person changing into new shoes, and everything is new.
It can be seen from the old tires and new tires that the new tires of Shenyi have better wrapping properties in the wheel hub and better in rim protection, which not only has higher requirements for the sidewall and is stronger, but also reflects the consistent belief of South Korea's Nexen "safety first".
It can be seen from the pattern that the symmetry of the tires of the Shenyi is better, although both are mainly silent, but from the pattern, you can see the adjacent pattern blocks of the Shenyi tires, the width and size are not the same, and the slapping frequency of each pattern block is different during driving, so as to realize the "harmonious rhythm technology" access of the Shenyi tires to achieve mute technology.
Closed road safe driving test).
Tested on the same stretch of road at a speed of around 70 yards, it was found that the interior noise of the pull tires reached 63 at a speed of about 70 yards9db, which may be due to the fact that the tire is used for a long time. After changing into the Winged Flyer tires, the speed noise dropped a lot in an instant at about 70 yards, only 60The tire noise of 8db driving is instantly reduced a lot, and the driving comfort experience is also improved a lot.
For this data, you can have fun, because any new tire will be quieter than the old tire, and the rubber of the old tire will become stiffer as it ages, and it will be noisier when it becomes harder. In terms of actual somatosensory, this sound drop experience is still relatively obvious. Therefore, changing tires in time is the most important prerequisite for ensuring safety and comfort. The most important science is not to underestimate the noise change of 3db, the decibel value is logarithmic, and 3db means that the sound energy is doubled.
Wear "new shoes" in the New Year, replace Dabao with Shenyi Flyer tires, the price of 2 discounts is only 329 yuan, with its high-safety pattern design and silent performance, don't you want to put new shoes on your car in the new year?
