Youkehao Maweichi AE50 Sword refers to the middle and high-end tire market.
【Pacific auto network tire channel】 Youke Haoma recently launched a comfortable and sporty tire — — BluEarth AE50, which is the third pattern tire of Weichi series after Weichi 1 and Weichi AE01, further enriches the Weichi series, indicating that it pays more attention to comfort tires, which is also related to the efforts of Youke Haoma to increase the domestic market. Then, what are the characteristics of Weichi AE50 tire? Let’s learn about it below.

● Technical features: control/quiet comfort/fuel saving.
Youke HOMA BluEarth AE50 (hereinafter referred to as VIOS AE50) has three main performances: control, quiet comfort and fuel economy. These three have almost become the mainstream performance of the tire market, and they also meet the demand of Chinese people for car tires. After all, consumers buy a set of tires for their cars, first of all, they can ensure their handling and safety. Second, the driving should be quiet and comfortable, the tire noise should be small, and the bumpy feeling when passing through the speed bump is weak; Third, it would be better if it could save fuel. How can the three characteristics of Youkehao Maweichi AE50 be embodied?
1. Handling performance

Weichi AE05 is designed with asymmetric patterns, and the inner side uses grooves to suppress eccentric wear, and the outer side uses large-area blocks to achieve the stability of the tire during cornering. The outer secondary power belt is composed of vertical and horizontal tire blocks (commonly known as diamond tire blocks), which ensures the high-strength handling requirements in the horizontal and vertical directions.

The tire has five longitudinal grooves of different sizes, and two lightning-like grooves, one large and one small, are adopted in the middle, which can improve the rigidity, enlarge the length of the edge, and drain away rainwater as much as possible, so that vehicles can have better grip when driving on wet roads and improve the driving safety performance in rainy days.

Weichi AE50 incorporates a brand-new orange oil formula, which can soften the tire, better fit the tiny bumps on the road surface and improve the grip. Promote heating when braking and turning need high grip, and the braking performance is stronger.
2. Quiet and comfortable
As we all know, tires with variable pitch patterns can suppress the noise of tires. The noise suppression of tires with large pitch difference will be good before wear, but after wear, due to the large pitch difference, the mute performance will decrease obviously. Weichi AE50 adopts the newly developed silent pitch design, and 84 pitch combinations are upgraded, which can make the new clothes and use more silent.

Weichi AE50 also adopts the design of variable pitch, but its pitch has little difference from pitch to pitch, so the design can ensure that its mute performance can continue after the tread is worn. Moreover, there is little difference between the pitches, which can effectively inhibit the occurrence of eccentric wear.
Step 3 save fuel

What is the difference in fuel economy between the tires of Youkehaoma and those of the past? Weichi AE50 adopts "low fuel consumption polymer" which can inhibit tire heating. This low fuel consumption polymer has a long molecular chain, so the number of heating terminal parts is small and the energy loss is small.

The sidewall is designed with a concave hole, which is similar to the surface of a golf ball, and can restrain the airflow turbulence behind the tire. Through this concave hole design, the airflow can be eased and the air resistance of the tire can be reduced. In addition, under the condition of not reducing the wear resistance of the tire, Weichi AE50 also stepped on lightweight rubber to reduce the weight of the tire and further improve the fuel-saving performance of the tire.
● Specification: Sword refers to mid-to high-end cars.

Wei Chi AE50 announced 15 different specifications this time, which are suitable for three wheel hub sizes, namely 16, 17 and 18 inches; There are 7 species, ranging from 40 to 60 respectively; The speed is W, which is 270km, which is the speed level of sports car tires.

The specifications of 16, 17 and 18 inches break the tradition that Weichi series does not adapt to large-size wheels. The maximum size of the adapter hub of the first two Weichi products is 16 inches, while the maximum size of the adapter hub of Weichi AE50 is 18 inches, which makes up for the vacancy that Weichi series has no large size. At this point, the size of the hub adapted by Weichi series is from 14 inches — There are 18 inches, which is also the strategy that Youke Haoma intends to promote in China. The 17-inch and 18-inch models are the standard wheel hub sizes of mid-to high-end cars, and the model of Weichi AE50 is mainly concentrated in the 17-inch model. Of course, the goal is to increase the original matching and tire changing market of mid-to high-end cars.
● Main competing products: The performance is roughly the same.
From the function of publicity to the size of matching, there is no doubt that the main target of Weichi AE50 is the middle and high-end market; But there are already many powerful competitors in this market, and they are all gearing up and eager to occupy each other’s market share. With the joining of Wei Chi AE50, the competition in this market will be more intense. What are Weichi’s main competitors? Below I will simply list a few:

1. Bridgestone green song with EP200
Green song with EP200 is a tire that focuses on handling, comfort and fuel saving, and it repeats the function promoted by Wei Chi AE50. This tire is a new product launched on the market last year, and its performance has yet to be tested by the market.
2. Michelin Primacy 3ST Haoyue
Michelin, the rice fat man, has an extraordinary influence in the domestic tire market. Primacy 3ST Haoyue is also a new product introduced last year. It has a good performance after its launch, and X Bao’s monthly sales are very impressive. Its main performance is comfort, fuel economy and safety. In fact, it is roughly the same as the performance of Weichi AE50. We have also made its evaluation ("Manipulation is unexpected. Michelin Primacy 3ST long test",I found that this tire has a good performance in addition to quiet and comfortable.
3. Goodyear Yasunari
Goodyear Safety Tire, also a new tire introduced in China last year, is mainly characterized by safety, comfort and handling. After this tire was put on the market, consumers recognized it and its sales performance was good.
4. Pirelli new P7
The main performance of Pirelli’s new P7 is control, but it also has a good performance in silence, comfort and fuel economy, which undoubtedly coincides with the Weichi AE50. Moreover, with the good reputation of Pirelli tires, the sales volume of the new P7 has been good since its launch.
5. contiMAXcontact MC5
The main performance of Mapai MC5 is also handling, but its quiet comfort is excellent. It is a tire that pays attention to handling and gives consideration to quiet comfort. Although it didn’t mention its fuel-saving performance, MC has a large market share by virtue of its good reputation.
● Summary:
The emergence of Weichi AE50 series makes up for the vacancy of Youke Homa tire in this market, and also adds a powerful competitor to the high-end market with fierce competition. Wei Chi AE50 has been quietly listed a few days ago, and 15 different specifications will be launched in succession. It overlaps with the functions of many competitors. How can we break through? It depends on its internal strength and the driver behind it. And what is its market competitiveness? This answer will be handed over to the market for testing.
