Michelin and horse brand tires are representatives of silent and comfortable tires, so how to choose specific to these two brands? We may wish to take the representative products of these two brands to make a comparison, that is, Michelin's Haoyue 4 and Ma brand's CC6, all of the following content, is my personal actual car experience, if there is any disagreement, please spray lightly.
Michelin's Haoyue 4: Koko can take it well
Michelin's Haoyue series can be said to be a representative product of Michelin, and it is also the Michelin tire product that I most recommend you to buy. Michelin's Haoyue 3st series has a good market reputation in the tire market, and the comfort and silence are excellent, but this tire has two problems, that is, the wet grip performance is average, and it is not very wear-resistant, and the service life is short.
Michelin's Haoyue 4 series can be said to have improved these two problems very well.
First of all, in terms of wetland grip, Haoyue 4 has completed the design scheme of aggravated widening through the four main sewage ditches of Evergrip technology, which improves the drainage work capacity by 50%, increases the drainage space, improves the grip of the wetland, and significantly improves the braking force in the case of wet and slippery pavement.
Secondly, in terms of wear resistance, Michelin Haoyue 4 adopts a new rubber formula, which improves the hardness of the fetal crown and improves the anti-aging. Michelin Haoyue 4 wear index is 340, which is in the car comfort tire belongs to the upper middle level, in the driving process obviously feel, Haoyue 4 compared to Haoyue 3ST, appear more resilient.
However, this also brought problems, the pipe trench was widened and deepened, coupled with a harder tread, the tire noise was correspondingly improved, especially on roads like gravel roads and rough asphalt, where tire noise increased significantly. However, in the silent comfort tire, its tire noise performance is still a good level, compared to other brands of ordinary tires, or much quieter.
Therefore, Haoyue 4 is more like a tire product with no short board, but there is no particularly prominent tire product, its quietness and comfort are not as good as the horse brand CC6, but the wear resistance and wet grip are significantly stronger than the CC6, which is a tire that is mainly based on silent comfort, but the overall balance is relatively balanced.
Horse CC6: Completely biased towards comfort and silence
The HORSE BRAND CC6, in comparison, is more partial, it is a pure silent comfort tire, positioning the ultimate silence and ultra-comfortable driving experience. In this regard, the horse card can be said to have made a lot of efforts.
The most iconic sign of the horse brand CC6 is the sound-deadening chamber technology, that is, based on the principle of the Helmholtz resonator, a small cross cavity is designed in the shoulder position, which can significantly reduce the frequency of noise and make the tire noise smaller, in addition, CC6 is also in the groove of the tire, designed a raised rubber block, officially called "frequency conversion noise reducer", which can break the large sound wave into several smaller sound waves and reduce the decibel value of the noise.
In the softness of the tire, CC6 deliberately added a softener to the rubber to make the tread softer, and when it rolled over the road surface, it can be filled and filled with uneven parts of the road surface, reducing vibration and reducing tire noise.
In terms of actual driving experience, it can be clearly felt that the tire noise of CC6 is excellent, and when the ditch is too small, the vibration is also smaller, especially on a good paved road, its noise and vibration and other brands of tires can be described as a world apart, compared to Michelin Haoyue 4, it is more unobtrusive, but it should be noted that the stones on the CC6 sound-deadening cabin should be cleaned up in time, otherwise the tire noise will increase significantly.
However, the horse brand CC6 also has some shortcomings, excessive bias towards silent comfort, resulting in poor wear resistance, short service life, and the grip of bending and the grip of wetlands are average. If you're looking for a better balance of grip and handling, check out its sibling, the UC6.
Finally, our purchase suggestion, two tires, in fact, are good silent comfort tire products, choose which one can give you a good driving texture, do not underestimate the importance of tires, a good pair of tires for the driving texture of the improvement is very obvious.
However, if you want to buy a silent comfort tire, but your daily driving conditions are more complicated, there is a certain pursuit of drivability and handling, or it is recommended that you choose Haoyue 4, its performance is more balanced. And if your driving conditions are basically paved roads, daily driving is the city to walk, rarely intense driving, perhaps the horse brand CC6 is more suitable for you, its comfort and silence performance will definitely impress you.
