BYD Song Tire Specifications?
2 Answers
The wheel rims are 18 inches, with a tire width of 225 mm, sized at 225/60R18. Tires can also be used in 17-inch and 19-inch sizes. More information about wheel rims is as follows: 1. The wheel rim is the rotating part of the wheel steel inside the tire connected by columns to the wheel hub, which is the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. It is also called the wheel ring, steel ring, wheel, or tire bell. Wheel rims come in various types based on diameter, width, manufacturing method, and material. 2. The surface treatment process of wheel rims can be done in different ways, generally divided into painting and electroplating. For ordinary vehicle models, the appearance of wheel rims is less considered, with good heat dissipation being a basic requirement. The process mostly uses painting treatment, which involves spraying followed by electric baking, offering cost-effectiveness, bright colors, and long-lasting durability. Even when the vehicle is scrapped, the color of the wheel rims remains unchanged. Many popular vehicle models use painted wheel rims. Some fashion-forward and dynamic colored wheel rims also utilize painting technology. These types of wheel rims are moderately priced and come in a full range of specifications. Electroplated wheel rims are further divided into types such as silver electroplating, water electroplating, and pure electroplating.
I quite like the BYD Song. For specific tire parameters, check the model. For example, the standard version of the Song Pro DM-i uses 225/60 R18 tires, where the numbers mean 225mm width, 60% aspect ratio, and 18-inch wheel diameter. The full-size spare tire is also of this specification. However, configurations vary greatly—the high-performance version may come with 235/50 R19 tires, while the Song Plus EV model even uses 255/45 R20 tires. It’s best to check the vehicle manual or official website when purchasing. Tire parameters not only determine aesthetics but also affect comfort and handling—higher aspect ratios offer better cushioning but slower response, while wider tires provide stronger grip but may consume more fuel. Don’t overlook tire pressure: generally, front tires should be 2.2-2.5 bar, with rear tires slightly higher by 0.1 bar. Check weekly to avoid uneven wear, which can save fuel and improve safety. If you often drive on bumpy roads, consider switching to all-terrain tires for better durability.
