The best external rubber; Introducing top brands and comparing reliable models

Have you ever put your foot on the brake on a rainy day and felt the scary moment of slipping and emptying under the car’s feet? Or are you tired of the annoying dry tapping sound on every little bump? To escape from these annoying situations, you have no choice but to buy new tires, but with prices that keep rising, it is not easy to buy the best foreign tires. The market is full of strange Chinese brands, well-known Koreans and expensive Europeans, and each one really has its own characteristics? In this article, we put our magnifying glass on the best on the market so that you can draw cards with your eyes open.

Unsaid secrets in choosing the best foreign tire

The tire is the only point of contact of your multi-ton vehicle with the ground. All of your car’s ABS braking technology, suspension system, and powerful engine are worthless without these four tires on the ground. In order not to lose your head in the market and to make the best choice, you should know the criteria for buying the best foreign tires.

Softness and silence

The most important thing that Iranian drivers, especially the owners of cars like Peugeot Pars, 206 and L90, are looking for is “softness and silence”. The suspension and suspension system of our domestic and assembled cars is naturally a bit dry; Now add this to the asphalt condition of the streets, which are full of surprising potholes. A good outside tire should act as a second spring. Tires that use high-quality silica in their compounds have high elasticity. This means that when the tire falls into the pothole, it absorbs the impact and does not allow any strange noise to enter the room. If you buy dry tires, after a few months you will notice that the dashboard and parts of the room are rattling.

Adhesion and braking

The second criterion, which is the border between life and danger, is called adhesion and braking. The difference between a first-class foreign tire (such as Michelin or Hancock) and a normal tire is not clear on sunny days and at a speed of 40 km; The difference shows itself when you are driving at a speed of 100 km on the highway and suddenly you have to brake hard. High-quality tires have technology in their treads that pump water around quickly and stick to the asphalt like a rake. In fact, you’re paying extra for those two meters of shorter brake line that could prevent a costly accident.

Durability and performance

When buying the best foreign tire, we should also think about the balance between “durability and performance”. It is an unwritten rule that very soft tires with excellent grip (like racing tires) wear out faster and very hard tires that last 100,000 km have a dry ride. The art of choosing a foreign tire in Iran is to find a model that is not so soft that it breaks on the first contact with the sharp edge of the table (because our streets are full of such dangers) and not so hard that everything in the car shakes.

Introducing the best foreign rubber

In this section, we go to the four main stars of the foreign tire market.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 model

If you don’t have budget restrictions and are only looking for the highest level of safety and performance, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 is our undisputed recommendation. This tire is an abstract of Formula One racing technology that has come to public roads. Its extraordinary adhesion, especially in rainy conditions and slippery surfaces, is so high that you feel your car is stuck to the asphalt. Michelin not only has a long life and unparalleled quality, but the precise steering and the feeling of confidence it gives you at high speeds are enough justification to pay its higher price.

Continental PremiumContact 6

The Continental PremiumContact 6 is a symbol of German engineering, with its main focus on a smooth, quiet ride and unconditional safety. If your car is a heavy family sedan (such as Samand or Pars) and you drive mostly on long roads and intercity trips, you should know that the extraordinary softness of this tire minimizes bumps and gives you a smooth and stress-free driving experience. The ability of this tire to drain water and have the shortest brake line is unmatched.

Kumho model Ecsta PS71

If you don’t want to spend a large part of your savings on tires, the Kumho Ecsta PS71 is the model you should consider buying. As one of the pioneers of the South Korean tire industry, Kumho has been able to design the PS71 model targeting the urban and family car market and make available high-end Ultra High Performance (UHP) features at a very competitive price.

It’s a stunning improvement over indoor tires and in emergency braking and wet grip, the PS71 outperforms indoor tires due to its modern tread design and high-quality rubber compounds. Using this tire under common cars such as Pride, Tiba or Quick not only significantly reduces bumps and dry ride, but also assures the driver that at critical moments, his steering and brakes are connected to the road in the best possible way.

summary

In this article, some common market models were introduced, but to finalize the purchase, we suggest updating the rates and consulting with reputable stores before making a decision. Unfortunately, there are a lot of stock tires in the Iranian market. Rubber is a living material; Like bread that becomes stale, if rubber stays in storage for 2 or 3 years, its oils will dry out and become crispy. A dealer may offer you a foreign brand tire at a tempting price, but if you look at the 4-digit code (DOT) on it, you will see that it is from 3 years ago. This tire no longer has that grip and increases the risk of bursting at high speed. So be sure to pay attention to this important point when buying.
