The release of the summer passenger tire LingLong R618 marks a new level of development for the Chinese tire industry. This tire, created by the best Chinese tire engineers in close cooperation with leading European manufacturers, is designed for use on most compact class passenger cars. The tire is produced in seven of the most popular sizes among compact car owners — from 14 to 16 inches. Thanks to the introduction of the latest technologies into the tire's design, a high level of safety has been achieved. This is evident in the high speed index H (up to 210 km/h) assigned to this tire.
The stylish and moderately aggressive design of the non-directional symmetric tread pattern undoubtedly allows the LingLong R618 tire to be classified as a high-end product in the tire industry. The tread pattern features the latest "tire building" technology, including the currently popular five-rib design.
At the center of the tread is a rigid rib with a solid structure. This solution has made it possible to achieve a level of handling responsiveness previously uncharacteristic of Chinese tires, as well as excellent directional stability.
In motion, the tire can pleasantly surprise most drivers with its excellent balance of basic characteristics, previously inherent only in products from Japanese manufacturers. The pleasant combination of excellent traction, refined handling, softness, low noise level, and reduced fuel consumption puts this tire on a par with products from leading tire manufacturers.
