2 Answers
The tire model for BYD F6 is 205/65R15. The first number 205 indicates the tire width is 205MM, 65 represents the aspect ratio of the tire section is 65%, meaning the section height is 65% of the width, and 15 denotes the rim diameter is 15 inches. The middle letters or symbols have special meanings: "X" stands for high-pressure tire; "R" and "Z" indicate radial tires; "-" represents low-pressure tires. The BYD F6 has a maximum speed of 175km/h and a fuel consumption of 8.2L per 100km. In addition to the model, the following common data are also marked on the tire: Tire cord material: Represented by Chinese Pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Commonly used speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: Indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire for practical use, such as "Standard Rim 5.00F".
I drove a BYD F6 for several years, and the original tire size was 205/60 R16. This size provides excellent stability, especially during lane changes on the highway, thanks to its strong grip. In the tire specification, 205 indicates a tread width of 205 millimeters, 60 is the aspect ratio percentage, and 16 is the wheel diameter in inches—a balanced, comfort-oriented design suitable for daily commuting. Personally, I’ve replaced the tires twice: the first time with the factory Goodyear tires, which felt durable but a bit noisy; the second time, I upgraded to Michelin Energy Saver series, which, though more expensive, offered better fuel efficiency and quieter performance. For maintenance, I recommend checking the tire pressure monthly and keeping it around 2.3 bar to avoid uneven shoulder wear. During the rainy season, pay extra attention to the tread depth; if it’s below 3mm, it’s time to replace them—safety first. Overall, these tires are quite economical and practical, so avoid upsizing unnecessarily to prevent increased fuel consumption.
