The difference between cheap tires and expensive tires
Compared with the difference between 200-300 and 700-800 for cars, it seems that it is not so obvious in use, but the difference between 200-300 truck tires and 1000-2000 is really big, and many people have never heard of 200-300 large tires. Large tires have a wider range of choices and a wider price span. Drive shafts, guide tugs, medium and long distances, medium and short distances, almost all tire companies of all sizes are manufacturing large tires. There are more than a dozen brands in any tire company, and dozens of brands in a tire retail store, including the same brand tires will have different specifications and models, and there are also price differences.
The difference in appearance is not big, but why is the price difference not small? What is the price difference for tires of the same specifications? The following video is a truck tire of 200-300.
It can also be seen from the video that these truck and bus tires costing two or three hundred yuan are all ground tires, and the tires that are later in the video have very serious wear and tear, and are basically in a flat state. The patterns of some tires seem to be engraved later. How can the tires of two or three hundred yuan be compared with those of one or two thousand yuan?
When buying tires, you should still choose regular tire products costing one or two thousand yuan!
Quality
One is put on the market for the second time after use, and the other is loaded on the car brand new. Do you think there is a difference? Don't talk nonsense here about "the quality of new tires of some tire companies is not as good as old tires". Excuse me, how can a company that can sell tires for one or two thousand yuan survive until now if the quality is not good? Without the support of product quality, can the product be quickly put on the market and get a good response?
Except for the old points, the second-hand tires look no different from new tires in appearance, but do you really know the internal structure? What is the road condition of this tire, is there any trauma at the tip, has the tire experienced deflation and rolling during use, and has the internal steel wire connection changed? Does the manufacturer support the refurbishment of this tire? Have you noticed the refurbishment mark on the sidewall? Can you fully understand these just from the appearance?
Guarantee
The guarantee of second-hand tires is not at the same level as that of new tires. The sale of second-hand tires can be said to be that you hold this tire, as long as you go out of this door, any quality problems of the tire have nothing to do with the tire store. Come back to ask for an explanation, "Sorry, the door is there, turn right when you go out, goodbye!"
What is the after-sales service of the tire manufacturer of one or two thousand? Recently, there is a tire after-sales guarantee that can be said to have reached the extreme. If there is any quality problem, one compensation for two; if the mileage is less than 300,000 kilometers, 100 yuan will be compensated for 10,000 kilometers. If there is any problem that makes the tire unusable within half a year, it will be replaced with a new tire of the same model for free. Such a guarantee is asking you to accept it?
But consumers have a common problem: you are silent when you hear the price of tires, and you are moved again when you see the effect of tires. Now we need to face up to the fact that this consumer psychology needs to be changed. When buying tires, don't believe that they are cheap and good. Regarding tires, you usually get what you pay for. Never believe that a tire worth two or three hundred yuan can buy the quality of a tire worth one or two thousand yuan.
Tires are products with relatively low consumption frequency. If there is no major problem, they do not need to be replaced frequently. Many car owners choose low-priced tires in order to get a small bargain for a while, but later the cost of repairing and replacing inside and outside has long exceeded the price of a good tire. Therefore, if you want to change tires, it is better to do it in one step, which is economical and also a guarantee of your own safety.
For those customers who only care about the price, the tire shop owner often says: I would rather sell expensive ones and explain the price for a while; I would rather sell cheap ones and apologize for the quality for a lifetime! The principle of getting what you pay for is an unchanging truth no matter which industry it is placed in.
