I also suggest that you choose high-performance tires. On the one hand, they can ensure good grip performance and have sufficient stability. But how to choose high-performance tires? Recently, foreign media named the top ten high-performance summer tires in 2020.
0 1, Bridgestone skyclan S00 1.
Reason for listing: BOSKY CLAN S001Tires can show relatively balanced comprehensive performance on both dry and wet roads.
Bo skyclan S00 1 is an old product in Bridgestone's high-performance tire series. From the release of 20 10 to the release of 20 18, the brand-new model skyclan 007A, S00 1 has been the flagship product of Bridgestone for eight years.
This kind of tire adopts asymmetric pattern, and the rubber block on the outside of the tire is large, which can provide good lateral stability for the vehicle. Continuous rubber ribs are used in the middle of the tire to ensure accurate directivity. In order to improve the performance of wetland, the tire adopts the design of multiple wide drainage grooves, which can quickly drain the accumulated water between the grounded tire and the road surface. In addition, this tire also adopts the transverse tread design with variable spacing, which helps to improve the mute performance of the tire.
Comments: This tire has been launched for a long time, and its comprehensive performance is not as good as that of new tires of the same level recently. In addition, as a high-performance tire, its pattern design is too common. But this tire is still worth buying. First, it is cost-effective, and second, some specifications provide the function of air leakage guarantee.
Reference price: 245/45 R 19 Explosion-proof 1600 yuan/piece.
02. Horse brand SportContact 6
Reason for listing: As the flagship product of the first-line tire brand, it is suitable for users who have extreme demand for performance.
Horse brand SportContact 6 tire was released on 20 15, and was designated as U-UHP at that time, namely "ultra-ultra-high-performance tire". The pattern design of this tire looks quite satisfactory, and it adopts a relatively common asymmetric design. However, in various performance tests, this tire performs quite well, including dry land and wetland, which can bring short braking distance and handling performance to the vehicle. At the same time, this tire is unique in noise control and has excellent comprehensive performance.
Excellent performance is closely related to the unique structure of the tire. In addition to the traditional tire structure, engineers also added an extra layer of structure-"Aralon 350", which is made of nylon and two layers of aramid fiber, which can bring ultra-high stability to the tire and ensure the safe driving of the vehicle at a speed of 350 km/h.
Comments: There is no doubt that Ma SportContact 6 is a tire product specially developed for ultra-high performance vehicles, and its performance is strong enough. However, at present, the product has not been officially introduced into China, and it can only be purchased from other channels, and the price is relatively high.
Reference price: 245/40 R 19 1800 yuan/article.
03, Deng Lupu SP Sport Maxx GT
Reason for listing: the comprehensive performance is average, but the cost performance is outstanding.
The biggest highlight of Deng Lupu SP SPORT MAXGT tire is its rich vertical and horizontal patterns, excellent drainage and good wetland performance. However, the dry tire performance of this tire is obviously different from the flagship tires of other first-line brands.
Comments: As the flagship product of Deng Lupu brand, the general comprehensive performance of SP Sport Maxx GT lowers the cost performance of this product. Judging from the past test drive experience, Dunlop tires in the market are generally worse than other brands.
Reference price: 245/45 R 19 1400 yuan/article.
04, Goodyear Eagle F 1 supercar
Reason for listing: Based on racing technology, it can provide outstanding performance and high stability.
Goodyear Eagle F 1 SuperSport is a new product just launched last year. Due to its excellent performance, Goodyear has also introduced advanced versions with suffixes, such as Eagle F 1 SuperSport RS and Eagle F1Supersport K.
The excellent handling energy of this tire has been added to Goodyear's racing experience in the research and development process, and it has a special tread design and a unique rubber formula. Eagle F 1 SuperSport adopts asymmetric pattern, but the width of the lateral shoulder pattern is quite large, which can provide sufficient lateral grip for the tire, and the transition between the shoulder and the rib is natural, effectively improving the handling accuracy.
In order to overcome the tire deformation caused by strenuous driving, additional reinforcement technology is adopted in the tire wall, which will not have a negative impact on the comfort of the tire. In order to adapt to different roads, three different formulations of rubber are used on the tire surface.
Comments: On the technical level, this tire has unique advantages, especially on the treads of three different formulations. In the past, this tire manufacturing technology only existed in racing products. However, this high technology will inevitably bring high tire prices.
Reference price: not available in China.
05, Hantai Ventus S 1 Evo3k127.
Reason for listing: The flagship product of Han Tai brand has unique rubber formula and excellent wetland performance.
Last year, Hankook Tire, a tire supplier of German RV Masters, introduced a brand-new tire Ventus S 1EV3K 127 to replace K 165438.
This tire adopts a unique "Aqua Pine" rubber formula, which contains vegetable oil and pine oil, which can improve the grip of the tire on wet roads. In order to strengthen the strength of the tire, the engineer added aramid yarn reinforcement layer to its structure, and two layers of viscose fiber skeleton and steel belt steel wire with higher strength formed the carcass structure, which provided sufficient support for the tire in fierce driving control. At the same time, this kind of tire can give consideration to durability and reliability at ultra-high speed.
Comments: Tire products designed based on competition experience usually have good performance, but these tire products are expensive in addition to being expensive.
Reference price: 245/45 R 19 Explosion-proof 1450 yuan/piece.
06, Jinhu Ecsta PS9 1
Reason for listing: a tire that is close to the people and uses racing technology.
Jin Hu Tire is also a frequent visitor to automobile races. However, due to the low level of events such as CTCC and F4, the racing experience can be more effectively transformed into the performance of civil automobile products. Ecsta PS9 1 is such a high-performance tire developed for the civilian market. The tire adopts asymmetric pattern design, and provides four longitudinal drainage grooves, and the width of the outer side is smaller, which provides conditions for increasing the grounding area of the outer rubber.
In order to show the identity of the tire, the pattern of inspection flag was added on the longitudinal drainage ditch. However, the lateral patterns on the inside and outside of the tire are arranged at variable intervals. In addition, there are not many bright spots in the pattern design. In the comparative test, the dry performance and noise performance of this tire are remarkable, but the wet performance is lacking. However, the biggest advantage of this kind of tire lies in its cost performance.
Comments: Ecsta PS9 1 has been on the market for a long time, which is why its performance is not as good as other brands' new flagship products. But the thin camel is bigger than the horse, and this kind of tire can meet the needs of most users for tire performance. Who is cost-effective?
Reference price: Stop domestic sales.
In 2007, Michelin pilots exercised for 4S.
Reason for listing: "All-round performance" is quite thorough on Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tire, which is more outstanding in wetland performance.
Pilot Sport 4S is a brand-new flagship tire launched by Michelin in 20 17, which was introduced to the domestic market at the beginning of its listing. Different from other high-performance tires, this tire has become an explosive product since its launch. On the one hand, there are flocking patterns on the tire wall, which has a unique appearance; On the other hand, its excellent comprehensive performance.
The pattern design of Pilot Sport 4S is quite close to that of low-grade Pilot Sport 4, but its tread rubber adopts a unique design-the inner and outer sides adopt different formulas, and the inner side is more elastic. Therefore, the drying performance of the tire can be improved. At the same time, the tire surface is made of high-strength composite material layer, so that the tire can better transmit torque. In addition, due to the 3D pattern design, this tire has excellent drainage performance and excellent wetland performance.
As a tire developed for high-performance field, the performance of Pilot Sport 4S is not limited to grip, but can take into account driving comfort. Its silent tread pattern and soft rubber have obvious advantages in noise control and shock absorption.
Comments: All-round comprehensive performance is the reason why Michelin PS4S is favored by domestic users. You can choose this tire if you don't care about the cost.
Reference price: 245/40 R 19 1700 yuan/article.
08, Nuoji explosion-proof
Reason for listing: With dual-zone security technology, other performances can be taken into account.
I believe that many domestic users have never heard of the brand of Nuoji, but this company located in Nokia, Finland, was founded more than 100 years ago. 1932 began to produce automobile tires, and 1934 invented the world's first winter tire, namely snow tires. In the summer of 20 19, Nuoji released a brand-new Powerproof high-performance series of tires, replacing the previous zLine series.
The main concern of Nuoji brand tire is safety performance, such as two-zone safety technology: asymmetric pattern is divided into two parts: power zone and wet zone. The former is used to provide excellent grip on dry ground, while the latter can bring safe driving performance on wet road. According to foreign media tests, the performance of this tire on wet and dry roads is quite balanced.
Comments: Nuoji Tire officially entered the domestic market a few years ago, but its market performance was not satisfactory due to its low popularity. If you are a user who values driving safety, you may wish to consider this brand of tires. However, this brand tire model is less, and the speed of launching new products in China is also lagging behind.
Reference price: not available in China.
09, Pirelli P zero PZ4
Reason for listing: it is the first choice tire for high-end models because of its rich sizes and specifications.
However, the overall tread design of this tire still can't get rid of the shadow of P Zero series. Its new pattern design can ensure that the tire has good performance in dry land and wetland. As for comfort performance, including shock absorption performance and noise performance, there is a big gap compared with high-performance tires with comprehensive performance.
Comments: P Zero PZ4 tire is a tire product for ultra-high performance vehicles. Although the size range covers 17-22 inches, there are only two specifications of 17 inches. It can be seen that this is a product for the "Bigfoot" model or the modified market. Positioning the high end, the price naturally rises.
Reference price: 245/45 R 19 1800 yuan/article.
10, Fred Ortera votier
Reason for listing: Deeply ploughing and refitting the market, the tire has excellent performance and unique design.
Fred is a tire brand from Holland, which once entered the domestic market earlier. However, due to its low popularity, its products are mainly aimed at the modified market, and its products are mainly high-performance, which can not meet the mainstream demand of the domestic market, so it has been difficult to find traces in the market in recent years.
Although it can't successfully "survive" in the domestic market, Fred tires have a large number of fans abroad, because this brand of tires are full of personality in design and outstanding in performance. Take the brand-new Ultrac Vorti R as an example, the tire surface is made of a substrate similar to carbon fiber grain, with asymmetric large-size rubber blocks on it, and the lateral drainage groove is designed in 3D, which further improves the grip performance of the tire.
Comments: As a modified tire product, Fred has its own characteristics, which can meet the individual needs of users. However, excessive personality eventually leads to the product can not meet the needs of the public, which is also the reason why this brand is difficult to plan in China.
Reference price: not available in China.
Summary:
Some people may say that there is little demand for high-performance tires, so it's just as well not to buy them in the market. This is because many domestic users attach great importance to the durability, comfort, quietness and even the price of tires. The tires that can meet these conditions are often tires with higher rubber hardness, more transverse patterns and lack of new technology. The final result is that the tire's grip performance is not good enough, and the braking distance and lateral acceleration on wet and dry roads are not good.
However, the tire is the basis of all the performance of the car, and it is the most important and difficult part of the car. A set of high-performance tires will not only improve the power output level, but also provide safer driving protection, because they can shorten the braking distance and improve the handling stability, which is not harmful to driving. Therefore, even if it is not a high-performance car, it is necessary to use high-performance tires. It's time for some car owners to change their consciousness.
