There is no best tire, only the best-ranked tire brand. When Michelin was a sponsor of F1, it was the leader in the tire industry, and Bridgestone was second. Now that Bridgestone is a sponsor of F1, of course it has also become the leader in the tire industry, and Michelin is ranked second. Second (as can be seen from the ranking of the world's top 500), when it comes to the tire brand of super sports cars, of course Pirelli is the best. Some sports cars such as Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, etc. all use Pirelli.

A breakdown of the world's major brands of tires

The following is an introduction. Friends who want to change tires can refer to it, and those who don't want to change can also gain knowledge. Let’s just talk about the best quality high-end tires, let’s start with the least well-known ones.

1. Pirelli

I believe that friends who like football and Inter Milan will have an impression of this brand. Pirelli is the main sponsor of Inter Milan. The trademark on the chest of Inter Milan's team uniform is Pirelli. Even when Pirelli first entered China, one game was specially printed with Pirelli's Chinese characters, which shows that Pirelli attaches great importance to the Chinese market. Pirelli originated in the late 19th century and is one of the earliest tire manufacturers. It is a sports tire and the first to sponsor F1. It is still sponsoring WRC. To be honest, Pirelli tires are absolutely suitable for WRC road conditions. They have super grip and are very strong. For those who like racing, the editor thinks that Pirelli is the first choice. The grip is too strong. I dare not say that Pirelli is the best, but I can responsibly say that Pirelli’s grip is the best. It is a must for racing players, but there are prerequisites. Yes, you have to endure the equally powerful tire noise of Pirelli, which is astonishing. The feeling is indescribable, so much so that Pirelli dealers don’t believe that it is the noise made by the tires. The price of Pirelli is above average among high-end tires. It has been domestically produced and sales are not ideal. There are many supporting facilities, and they are all high-end cars, such as BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, etc. If you don’t care about Pirelli’s noise, don’t care about its exorbitant price positioning, and like to drive fast, you’re right to choose Pirelli! !

2. Continental

German Continental, also known as Continental Tire, also started making tires in the 19th century. You can often see Continental advertisements at the European Cup football matches. There don’t seem to be many sponsors in car racing. I know that Continental is used in big truck competitions, but I don’t think I have played F1. Continental and Pirelli are two extremes, known for their quietness and comfort. Friends who say Michelin is comfortable must have never used Continental tires. Comfortable and quiet is the biggest feature of Continental, but it seems to be the only feature. Continental is not wear-resistant, has average road grip, is not strong, and is not suitable for our country's road conditions. The price of imported tires is relatively reasonable, and currently there are no Chinese factories. On top of that, market performance also depends on the positioning of domestically produced tires after they roll off the production line. In terms of matching, Continental tires are mainly matched with some mid-level models, such as Audi A4 and A6, Mercedes-Benz C-Class E-Class, and BMW 3 Series; some high-end SUVs are matched with Continental tires from the Czech Republic, which makes a lot of noise. If you are looking for comfort and quietness, and have no requirements for wear resistance, movement, or price, Continental is a good choice.

3. Dunlop

Dunlop originated in Britain in the late 19th century and was later controlled by Japan. It is the inventor of pneumatic tires.

Dunlop is the second tire brand to play in F1. It currently ranks second in terms of the number of F1 races won. It no longer plays. Now it mainly sponsors the German Touring Car Masters, A8 Touring Car and Motorcycle GP, and participates in many cross-country competitions. China is also the main sponsor because Dunlop is the best cross-country tire. The biggest feature of domestic Dunlop tires is that they have no characteristics (similar to Bridgestone, which will be mentioned below). Their quiet comfort is not as good as Michelin and Continental, and their grip is not as good as Pirelli. They are relatively neutral tires. In fact, Dunlop is a purely high-end brand in the world. It can be seen from the supporting equipment, such as Audi A8, Mercedes-Benz S600, BMW 5 Series X5X3, and Volkswagen Touareg. Of course, the prices are also exaggeratedly high. In response to the situation in China, domestically produced Dunlop has appropriately lowered the positioning of some small-model tires so that they can meet the needs of almost all models at a more appropriate price. I once saw a review of Dunlop on the Internet: I dare not say that Dunlop is the best tire, but it is the most cost-effective tire. If you occasionally play with your car, have requirements for comfort and quietness, and don’t want the price to be too expensive, Dunlop is a good choice.

4. Goodyear

Dunlop left F1 due to the death of the famous driver Senna, and was replaced by the American brand Goodyear, which currently maintains the number of F1 championships. Record. It is unclear what car events it currently sponsors. Goodyear is a typical American product. It only aims at noise resistance. Its road grip is second only to Pirelli. Its noise is close to Pirelli. It is not wear-resistant and prone to partial wear. It is extremely expensive. There are not many supporting facilities, including Audi Q7, Land Rover, and there are many supporting facilities for domestically produced cars, such as Audi, BMW Brilliance, etc. The price is about the same as Michelin, which is the highest price among domestic products. The quality is still poor, the factory output is small, and it is purely an OEM product.

5. Michelin

Michelin originated in France in the 19th century and is the inventor of radial tires. After sponsoring F1 with Goodyear, it now sponsors many car events, including WRC and so on. Michelin is a comfort tire, with comfort close to that of Continental and average road grip and wear resistance. Michelin ranks second in the world in terms of sales, second only to Bridgestone. Mainly supporting mid-range products of some top brand cars, such as BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and C-Class. Personally, I feel that Michelin, which is also a comfort tire, is more suitable for China's road conditions than Continental. This is probably why Michelin is successful in China. Of course, due to advertising, the price of Michelin is not low in China. The price of imported Michelin is average, not as expensive as Pirelli, Continental, and Dunlop. Generally speaking, Michelin is good. If you recognize its brand, then the editor recommends it.

6. Bridgestone

Bridgestone, an authentic Japanese brand, is also the latest and only one of the six major tire brands in the world to start making tires in the 20th century. factory. Currently exclusively sponsors F1. Bridgestone is similar to the domestic Dunlop. It has no characteristics and is relatively neutral. Its performance is acceptable in all aspects. It is comfortable and quiet after Dunlop. It is the most wear-resistant among high-end brands. As for the price, due to the crazy money burning in F1, the price is not cheap, it is cheaper than Michelin and Goodyear. Thanks to its sponsorship of F1, sales have reached unprecedented heights: surpassing Michelin and currently number one in the world. In the past year, Bridgestone has also been seen supporting high-end models, such as the Audi A8, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, etc. I don't want to recommend it due to the price.
