Company recalls over 541,000 winter tires because they don't have enough snow traction

Prinx Chengshan Tire North America is recalling over 541,000 tires because they do not meet the snow traction standards required in North America, posing a safety risk.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration highlights that tires lacking proper snow traction can significantly increase the likelihood of vehicle accidents during winter conditions.

Although these tires passed European testing, they have been deemed insufficient for North American snow traction, highlighting the differences in tire safety standards between regions.

Prinx Chengshan is actively seeking a solution to rectify the traction issue and will inform affected tire owners via mail starting February 1.
