In recent years, there are many tire brands in the domestic market, a variety of pattern models, and uneven product quality, and consumers need more concise and easy-to-understand consumer guidelines in addition to considering personalized needs when purchasing products. According to an authoritative user survey, different consumers have different preferences for tires, and consumers pay primary attention to the performance of tires such as brake safety, fuel saving, silence, shock absorption, handling, and sturdiness when purchasing. To this end, T V Rheinland and Tuhu Yangche launched a tire performance evaluation certification system, covering the six performances of brake safety, fuel saving, silence*, suspension, handling and robustness that consumers are most concerned about, and are strictly measured in accordance with the T V Rheinland 2PfG standard. Tire products that meet the performance standards will obtain T V Rheinland China-mark (China logo) certification certificate, and consumers can scan the QR code on the logo to further understand the relevant information such as test requirements, test scores and product characteristics, providing a professional basis for consumers to shop rationally.
The tire performance evaluation system is based on Tuhu Car's insight into the individual needs of consumers, combined with T V Rheinland's rich professional experience in the field of tire testing and certification, to standardize the evaluation rules, establish the weight of various performance evaluation indicators, and ensure that the evaluation results are professional and fair. The evaluation standards and test methods refer to international standards, national standards, industry standards and the test methods of other professional institutions, and a number of evaluators complete all test items in many domestic real vehicle test sites and national laboratories.
In the field test scenario of the real vehicle, such as the measurement of the braking distance in dry wetlands, T V Rheinland strictly regulates environmental variables such as test road temperature, wind speed and water film thickness, which is close to the real scene of consumers using tires. In the "rugged" performance test, taking into account that the vehicle drum bag is caused by a sidewall collision, the test session simulates the collision between daily urban driving and road shoulder, and a 45-degree impact test is designed. There are a variety of roads in the real vehicle test site and noise and vibration test roads (NVH roads) to restore the road conditions in daily driving, such as flat asphalt roads, rough asphalt roads, concrete roads, washboard roads, step roads, protrusion roads, etc., so that the evaluation results of shock absorption and silence are more comprehensive. For the "handling" performance, a number of professional drivers evaluate the stability, steering performance, braking stability, grip, water drift and other driving conditions of straight-line driving on dry land, wetland control roads and wet ring roads.
In the indoor testing of tires, T V Rheinland takes advantage of its international strengths and benchmarks the testing process with the requirements of international standards. In the "fuel saving" test scenario, the tester measures the rolling resistance of the tire on the testing machine at a specified speed in strict accordance with international standards, and corrects the results based on the amendment equation that is compared with the EU benchmark laboratory, and gives the final score with reference to the EU tire labeling regulation level.

There are a variety of roads in the noise road and the noise and vibration test road (NVH road) in the real vehicle test site to restore the road conditions in daily driving, so that the evaluation results of "mute" are more comprehensive
In the "rugged" performance test, the test session simulates the collision between daily urban driving and road shoulder, and a 45-degree crash test is designed.
As the world's leading technology service provider, T V Rheinland has more than 100 years of rich experience in the automotive field, deeply engaged in China's tire product testing for nearly 20 years, has always maintained a leading position in the industry, and has been committed to improving the quality and safety level of tire products through all-round technical support for many years. As an innovative enterprise committed to improving the quality of automobile service and industrial efficiency, Tuhu Yangche adheres to the protection of consumer rights and interests as the starting point, and has reached a direct supply or brand authorization with well-known tire brands at home and abroad, and through the "tire insurance" and other reassuring guarantee services, efficient and intensive logistics distribution system and standardized service system, it has created a "genuine and professional" straight channel for consumers, becoming one of the third-party channels most valued by China's largest tire retailers and tire companies. The strong cooperation between the two sides will ensure the professionalism, transparency, fairness and impartiality of the evaluation and testing process to the greatest extent. In the future, T V Rheinland and Tuhu Will continue to strengthen cooperation, consolidate the standardization of the tire industry, provide professional and convenient consumer guidance for consumers to purchase high-quality and high-performance tire products, and contribute to the development of health norms in the entire industry.
*T V Rheinland China-mark (China logo) keyword "mute" does not mean that there is no sound, but means that the noise test results of the product in a specific test environment according to the standard of T V Rheinland meet the certification limit of the "mute" keyword.
