My car is a 2018 Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 proud version. When I bought the car, the original car matched the German Horse Brand 225/60R18 100H pattern seriesrocontactTX, the maximum tire speed is 210KM/H, the maximum load is 800KG, and the gold powertrain of a 1.6THP engine matched with the Aisin 6AT automatic manual transmission is really eye-catching.
It has been three years and 60,000 kilometers since I bought a car. During this time, because the steering tire peeling was so severe, I did some homework online and prepared to change the shoes for my car. After consultation and comparison, I decided to use 235/55r18 tires. The parameters compared with the original car are as follows:

Original wheel hub data

Data of Ma brand tires equipped by the original factory
Compared with the data of the 225/60r18 tire and the 235/55r18 tire, the outer diameter is basically invisible to the naked eye, and a bit wider will not affect the steering. The body will be more stable during driving, but the fuel consumption will be slightly higher. After communicating with the tire store, he drove directly there.

Ma brand tires equipped with the original factory

The Ma brand tire equipped by the original factory has begun to peel in the three-year and 60,000-kilometer direction. There is no problem with the pattern of the rear tire. However, the rubber has begun to age and has also been repaired. I chose to replace it for safety reasons.

Because of the homework I did in the early stage, I directly chose 235/55r18 Wanli tires. Not to mention much, cost performance is the last word.

Wanli Tire Parameters
For safety reasons, I decided to replace four tires. After checking the data and public reputation, I upgraded: domestic tires, pattern series: AS028, 235/55R18 104V XL tires with a maximum speed of 240KM/H, and a maximum load of 900KG Wanli tires. Compared with the original 225 tires, the real speed will be 1.58KM/H slower, and the periphery of the tire will be reduced by 5.75mm.

Here I will talk about why I chose national tires:
Because domestic tires are more cost-effective than foreign brand tires;
Because domestic tires are already catching up with foreign brand tires in terms of technology;
Because both domestic tires and foreign-brand tires have quality guarantees;
Because the safety performance of domestic tires is not inferior to that of foreign brand tires;
Because domestic tires are more suitable for domestic road conditions;
Because the price of domestic tires is easier to accept by the public than joint-venture brand tires.
Because the control of tire noise in domestic tires has surpassed that of foreign-brand tires.
