Vitour is a tire brand owned by Qingdao Vitour United Corp, a company that began in 2006. With a decade of experience in the tire industry, the company has been making tires for SUVs, light trucks, commercial vehicles, and passenger cars. Buyers searching for reasonably priced tires to be installed on the drive axles of trucks and buses should consider the Vitour VD35. It is natural for a commercial tire to sport a high ply rating, and the VD35 gets the number 16. More features will be disclosed in the course of this Vitour VD35 review.

Features and Benefits

Before proceeding with the tire, we would like to tell you about SimpleScore, our in-house rating system. An analysis of performance across different parameters such as traction, longevity, and handling enables us to rate a tire on a scale of 1-10. As an example, the Vitour VD35 was found suitable for an overall SimpleScore of 7.2. The features and benefits below will help you look at the other scores:

• Resists damages: A damage-resistant tread compound and a reinforced carcass protect the tire against cuts, bruises, and abrasions, resulting in an average durability score of 7.6.
• Good traction: While open shoulders and four wide grooves remove water, melting snow, and slush from the tread, angled tread blocks and the rubber compound assist in dry traction, leading to a score of 7.0.
• High load-carrying capacity: A 16-ply rating allows this tire to carry very heavy loads without losing shape.
• Long tread life: A reinforced carcass increases strength for a long tread life. Additionally, a high tread depth also contributes to a long-lasting tread life. Based on the above, we have awarded this tire a longevity score of 7.0.
• Smooth and comfortable ride: The symmetrical tread pattern results in a smooth and comfortable ride
• Good performance: Expect the high tread depth and the tread compound to be helpful in generating good performance.

Pros and Cons

Tough construction is the cornerstone for the success of any commercial tire, and the Vitour VD35 is no exception. Along with the reinforced construction, the tread compound also plays an important role in enhancing durability and strength. During our Vitour VD35 tire review, we found the following pros and cons:

PROS:

• Consistent traction
• Damage-resistant tread compound
• High load-carrying capacity
• High tread depth
• Great strength and durability

CONS:

• No limited manufacturer tread life warranty
• Dry traction could be better

SimpleTire’s view on Vitour VD35 tires

Who wouldn’t want to have a reasonably priced, 16-ply rated commercial tire in their fleet? You can be sure that the Vitour V35 will not lose shape while carrying very heavy loads and will also provide a smooth, comfortable ride. We believe that the ply rating is responsible for a high Vitour V35 rating. Drive axles of trucks and buses undergo heavy wear and tear as they’re constantly being used for transmitting power to the wheels, implying that a strong, durable tire must be in place. Additionally, the angled tread blocks of the VD35 provide decent levels of grip.

Vehicles the Vitour VD35 is a good replacement tire for

Commercial tires are fitted on different types of trucks and buses. Since the vehicles are heavy, these tires need to be strong enough to withstand high pressure. At the same time, many trucks travel the length and breadth of the country to transport goods. Here are some examples of trucks and buses on which the VD35 can be used as a replacement tire:

• Peterbilt trucks
• Freighliner trucks
• Navistar trucks
• Daimler AG trucks
• Mack trucks
• Volvo trucks
• Greyhound buses
• Blue Bird Corporation
• Gillig
• Flixbus
• Peter Pan Bus Lines
• Collins Industries
