What are the tire model specifications for the MG ZS?
1 Answers
The MG ZS comes with two tire size specifications: 215/50R17 and 215/55R17. In 215/50R17, the first number 215 indicates the tire width is 215MM, 50 represents the aspect ratio of the tire section is 50%, meaning the section height is 50% of the width, 17 denotes the rim diameter is 17 inches, and the middle letter "R" stands for radial tire. In 215/55R17, the first number 215 indicates the tire width is 215MM, 55 represents the aspect ratio of the tire section is 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width, 17 denotes the rim diameter is 17 inches, and the middle letter "R" stands for radial tire. The MG ZS tires are from the brand Maxxis, featuring a dual-tone five-spoke wheel design, with a non-full-size spare tire. If you wish to replace the tires yourself, follow these steps: Retrieve the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the vehicle frame near the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack contacts the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, making sure the jack is positioned correctly under the vehicle and is perpendicular to the ground; Remove the hubcap, loosen the nuts counterclockwise, but do not fully unscrew them—just enough to reduce resistance. Keeping the tire on the ground when first loosening the nuts ensures that the nuts turn, not the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose, repeat this step for all lug nuts, then completely remove the nuts; Place the new tire onto the wheel hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, and hand-tighten them until all nuts are snug. The tire replacement is now complete. Besides 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, ZG for steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters from A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common 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".
