 September 22, 2024
The 15 Asia-Pacific versions of the XC60 purchased in April 2015 are more than 60,000 kilometers old. The four tires of the original car are Michelin 23555 R19 101V made in Thailand, which was produced in the 37th week of 2014 and has been loaded for more than 5 years. The overall condition of the tire is OK, but after all, it is a rubber product, which takes a long time, coupled with the wear and tear in use, so I got four tires when I rushed to Singles’ Day, and the whole car was replaced.
The original plan to change the tire was to buy Michelin’s Pilot Sport4 series and continue to use the Michelin brand of the original car. At the same time, the same specification tires of horse brand UC6 series and horse brand CC6 series are compared horizontally. Finally, the horse brand UC6 SUV 23555R19 105V was replaced.
In the end, after comparison, I chose the UC6 of Horse, and of course I did some homework.
1. Brand comparison
Michelin (French: Compagnie Gnrale des tablissements Michelin, Euronext:ML) is a tire manufacturer headquartered in Claremont Ferrand, France. It is the largest tire and rubber products manufacturer in France and the second largest in the world. Michelin pioneered the steel wire radial tire in 1948. In 1906, the company established its first foreign factory in Durin, Italy, and now it has grown to many countries. It was reorganized into a holding company in 1951, producing not only tires but also other rubber products and synthetic rubber.
German Horse (also known as Continental Group, German: Continental AG, abbreviated as: Conti) is a German transportation manufacturer. The main products are tires, braking systems, body stability control systems, engine fuel injection systems, tachometers and other automotive transport parts. Headquartered in Hanover, Germany, the company is the fourth largest tire manufacturer in the world, behind Bridgestone, Michelin and Goodyear.
two。 Pattern contrast
The original Michelin Pilot Sport3 series pattern pays attention to tire comfort, grip and handling performance is also good. But at present, PS3 has all been updated to the new generation of Pilot Sport4, PS4 continues the design concept of PS3, is for medium and advanced car design emphasis on comfort and sports tires.
Horse brand’s CC6 and UC6 series patterns focus on the improvement of comfort, using the muffler block design developed by horse brand company, which can cut through the air flow through tire grooves, reduce the path of noise transmission, and improve the serenity of the vehicle when driving. The official introduction has two biggest highlights: serenity and comfort.

From the introduction point of view, the positioning of the two tires is relatively close. From the perspective of the preferential strength of the two brands of double 11, the UC6 of Horse is better, so we finally choose the UC6 SUV 23555R19 105V of Horse.

The following is to share the installation process of the horse brand UC6 SUV 23555 R19 105V tire purchased by X Dong.

Then there is the dynamic balance adjustment of the new tire.
After the adjustment of the dynamic balance of the four new tires in turn, a deep maintenance of the four-wheel brake system was done by the way.
After the maintenance of the brake system is over, the new tires are loaded.
The feeling of using the new tire:
1. The stillness is pretty good.
two。 Other handling performance feels no obvious difference from the old tire, and the use experience is very good.
