Roewe 350 Tire Model
2 Answers
The tire model for the Roewe 350 is 205/55R16. The first number, 205, indicates the tire width is 205MM. The 55 represents the aspect ratio of the tire's cross-section at 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width. The letter R stands for radial tire, and 16 denotes the rim diameter is 16 inches. The Roewe 350 has a fuel consumption of 6.6L per 100 kilometers. In addition to the model, tires also display the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, and ZG for steel radial cord tires. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined 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: Shows the rim size compatible with the tire for practical use, such as "Standard Rim 5.00F".
I remember the original tire specification for the Roewe 350 is typically 195/65 R15, which provides a balanced, comfortable ride and good fuel efficiency. Mine served me well for several years without major issues, though I did replace them once and found the price range of 200-300 RMB per tire quite affordable. The key is the 195mm tread width paired with a 65 aspect ratio, which effectively absorbs urban road bumps and keeps road noise low—my wife and kids never complain. It's advisable to regularly check the tire pressure and maintain it around 2.3 bar; otherwise, wear accelerates, compromising safety. Also, in winter when temperatures drop, slightly reduce the tire pressure to minimize the risk of blowouts. When replacing tires, avoid cheap knockoffs—stick with OEM-matched options to save on repair headaches. Upgrading to 195/55 R16 is possible, but the ride may become slightly stiffer while improving handling.
