What are the tire brand and specifications of the Hongqi H5?
1 Answers
The Hongqi H5 has two tire specifications. The 1.5T DCT Qiyue version is equipped with 225/55R17 tires, while the 1.8T Automatic Zhilian Qiling version comes with 225/45R19 tires. The tire brand is Hankook. In the 225/55R17 specification, the first number 225 represents the tire width of 225MM, 55 indicates the aspect ratio is 55% (meaning the section height is 55% of the width), and 17 denotes the rim diameter of 17 inches. The letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. Similarly, in 225/45R19, 225 means the tire width is 225MM, 45 shows the aspect ratio is 45%, 19 represents the rim diameter of 19 inches, and "R" again indicates a radial tire. The 17-inch tires for the Hongqi H5 are Hankook KINERGY EX series, while the 19-inch tires are Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 series. All variants come with a non-full-size spare tire. If you need to change a tire yourself, follow these steps: Retrieve the spare tire and jack. Position the jack under the vehicle frame near the tire to be replaced, ensuring it contacts the metal part of the frame. Raise the jack until it supports the car. The jack should be positioned straight under the vehicle, forming a right angle with the ground. Remove the hubcap and loosen the lug nuts counterclockwise. Don't remove them completely initially - just enough to reduce resistance. Keeping the tire on the ground while first loosening ensures you're turning the nuts, not the tire. Continue loosening all nuts counterclockwise until they're completely removable. Place the new tire on the wheel hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts. Install the lug nuts and hand-tighten them until all nuts are flush. The tire replacement is now complete. Besides specifications, tires also carry these common markings: Tire cord materials: Indicated by Chinese pinyin initials - M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, ZG for steel radial cord. Speed rating: Shows the maximum speed a tire can carry its rated load under specified conditions. Letters A-Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h. Rim specification: Indicates compatible rim sizes for practical use, such as "Standard rim 5.00F".
