Unconsciously, 2021 is nearing its end. For the small partners in the north, it has entered the winter of thousands of miles of ice and snow. For winter, many people do not like it, because the cold weather and the depression of the scenery give people a very desolate feeling. However, winter is a season full of romance for couples in love, this season has crystal white rivers and mountains, there are legends of princesses and princes, which can be described as the home of fairy tales.
How can such a beautiful view be betrayed. In this romantic season, it is inevitable to meet and travel with people who love each other. When we wear a thick down jacket to warm up the trip, we should change the car with a pair of "winter shoes" - winter tires. When it comes to winter tires, I believe it is the most familiar stranger for many northerners, why do you say so? After all, everyone knows that winter tires need to be replaced in winter, but very few can really replace them on time. Today, we will talk about the topic of winter tires and see what role the winter tires in the north can play.
Why change winter tires?
Let's talk about the first topic first, why change winter tires? In fact, it is also very easy to explain, just for safety.
We all know that in the winter, with the drop in temperature, especially on ice and snow roads, the commonly used four-season tires will have serious skidding problems, which will affect driving safety. Taking braking as an example, we all know that the shorter the braking distance, the more accidents can be avoided. After passing the professional comparison test results, it was found that the braking distance of the car equipped with summer tires on the ice and snow road at a speed of 50km/h reached 8 times the braking distance of the original dry road, and the braking distance of the winter tires was significantly shorter than that of the summer tires, and it was not so prone to skidding.
Obviously, changing tires in winter can not only shorten the braking distance, but also prevent the vehicle from slipping or even getting out of control and causing accidents. There is no doubt that changing winter tires in the cold north is already an urgent thing, presumably at this time everyone has a problem, that is, how to choose winter tires? Don't worry, "The Car Is Obedient" analyzes it for you.
Kumho Tires is recommended
Speaking of car brands, I believe that many people can talk about it, from the German BBA to the Japanese three masters, from the independent three to the eliminated Yinxiang, but if you talk about how to choose the tire? I believe that many people are not familiar with it, today we recommend Kumho Tire for everyone. First of all, Kumho is one of the few tire companies in the world that has a dedicated walking testing field for tires, and conducts comprehensive testing of tires through more than 20 kinds of full road condition simulation states, so as to obtain the performance index of production and development of tires, and to ensure the quality of tires while comprehensively analyzing the performance of tires. Secondly, Kumho Tire has been involved in automobile racing for many years and has made great progress, which is also the most powerful proof of Kumho's research and development technology, tire quality and durability.
Among the Kumho tires, the Weidongchi WS61 is its winter tire for SUVs, and recently we specially got the test tire to see how it is. Starting from the tire, as a tire developed by Kumho for the winter use scenario, Weidongchi WS61 tire uses an optimized combination of rubber mixed aramid fiber in the material, making the tread softer, and you can feel its softness by pinching the pattern by hand, effectively ensuring the grip of the tire in the low temperature environment. Grooves and tread are also extremely important for winter tires, which determine the performance of the vehicle. In this regard, Weidongchi WS61 has a number of jagged main grooves + optimized groove array + curved side groove design, which increases the friction when the tire is steered and improves the braking performance of the car on ice and snow roads. Enhanced driving performance and drainage performance on rainy and snowy days.
As for the pattern, it adopts a strong rib pattern to ensure high-speed straight-forward performance. The Z-shaped pattern groove strengthens the drainage performance and effectively improves the wet traction of the tire, greatly improving the braking performance of the car on the ice and snow road. In the tire shoulder, an angular design is used, which increases the contact surface between the tire and the ground, increases the friction, and effectively prevents skidding during driving on ice and snow roads.
It can be seen that weidongchi WS61, as a "special" tire developed by Kumho for winter driving scenes, eliminates the pain points in everyone's use and makes winter driving safer.
How about driving?
As the saying goes: on paper, it will eventually feel shallow, how does this set of tires drive in practice. My hometown is in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, and the temperature in winter can reach about minus 20 degrees. To be honest, I got the test tire since the beginning of November and have been trying to get to the university to try its performance, but unfortunately there has been no heavy snow that has satisfied me, but the current temperature has reached minus ten degrees, let's see how it is actually to install the Weidongchi WS61 winter tires on my WEY VV5.
To be honest, on ordinary asphalt roads, because there is no ice and snow pavement, it doesn't actually feel obvious, but it's better in terms of wheel noise. We deliberately found a slightly icy pavement to test. First of all, when carrying the four-season tire (Michelin's 19-inch tire) before, you will feel its helplessness when you start on the ice, and there is no smooth acceleration on the ordinary road, you seem to be able to feel that these four tires are trying very hard to grasp the road, but due to the lack of grip, the speed of the vehicle is very slow. In addition to the inability to start speeding up, in terms of braking ability, the use of four season tires will be more stretched, due to the lack of tire grip, it is difficult for vehicles to stop quickly. When steering, smaller steering can still be done, but once a larger turn or sharp turn, the vehicle is very easy to get out of control.
When we change to Weidongchi WS61 winter tires, you will find that it is completely different, not only the start and braking have been greatly improved, the most important thing is that the vehicle handling has become better, no longer have to worry about steering out of control, the vehicle does not listen to the call. It can be said that when you change into winter tires, even if you drive on such ice and snow roads, it is not much different from driving on ordinary roads. After personal experience, I think the use of winter tires is really very necessary, Kumho WeiDongchi WS61 series winter tires also have a very outstanding ability, driving ability on ice and snow roads has been praised by many car owners, and finally in the recommendation that owners with winter tire use scenarios should still use winter tires in winter, the improvement of control and safety is really what you can really feel.
In general, for those old drivers in the north, no matter how outstanding the driving skills, in this romantic winter trip or to replace the winter tires, after all, the story of "old horses losing their hooves" has happened a lot. For those who do not know how to choose winter tires, meet Wei Dongchi WS61 directly order.
