What are the tire size specifications for the Mazda6 Atenza?
2 Answers
The tire specifications for the Mazda6 Atenza are 225/45R19. Here, 225 refers to the tire width of 225 millimeters, 45 indicates the tire aspect ratio (i.e., the tire thickness is 45%), and R19 denotes a radial tire with a rim diameter of 19 inches. Below is a brief introduction to the Atenza: 1. The Atenza continues the exterior design of the imported Atenza, adopting Mazda's KODO design philosophy. The U-shaped front grille paired with LED headlights enhances the sporty feel. The new model features an 11-speaker audio system. Compared to the previous generation Mazda6, the Atenza's wheelbase has been increased by 105mm, providing more spacious rear seating. 2. The Atenza utilizes the SKYACTIV-Chassis technology, equipped with a high-performance MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. Through structural optimization, it achieves both weight reduction and increased rigidity. The sixth-generation EPAS electric power steering system and a sporty 14.2:1 gear ratio setting improve the vehicle's agility in low-to-medium speed ranges and stability at high speeds, while also shortening braking distance and effectively reducing brake dive.
I remember this very clearly because I just helped a friend change the tires on his Mazda6 last week. The 2.5L high-end version uses 225/45R19 size tires - 225mm width, 45% aspect ratio, and those 19-inch large rims do look really cool. However, the 2.0L base model comes with 225/55R17 tires, featuring smaller rims but thicker sidewalls. When changing tires, pay attention to the numerical markings on the tire sidewall. I recommend using Michelin PS4 in the original factory specifications, which provides excellent grip in both dry and wet conditions. These low-profile tires offer great support during high-speed cornering, though you need to be careful on rough roads as they're more prone to rim damage.
