What are the tire specifications for the Buick Excelle?
2 Answers
The Buick Excelle comes with Goodyear tires as original equipment. The base model uses 195/65R15 specifications, while the mid and high-end models use 205/55R16 specifications. The reduced aspect ratio enhances cornering performance and increases the friction coefficient. Detailed information about the tires is as follows: 1. The replacement cycle for tires is generally every 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers, depending on the condition of the tires. However, tires should not be used for more than 6 years. 2. The production year is marked on the tires. Tire performance declines over time and with use. When replacing tires, use tires with the same size, speed rating, and load capacity as the original tires.
I've been driving a Buick Excelle for several years, and the tire specifications are generally 195/65 R15 or 205/55 R16, depending on the model year. My 2019 base model uses 195/65 R15, which is quite balanced—quiet and fuel-efficient for city driving, though it feels a bit soft during acceleration. After switching to Michelin ENERGY series, the comfort improved noticeably. Don’t underestimate tires; incorrect sizes can affect ABS system stability. I recommend owners check the door label or manual to confirm the exact size and avoid blindly upsizing rims, as it increases fuel consumption. In snowy winter regions, switching to winter tires is safer. Regularly check tire pressure and maintain it between 32-35 psi to extend tire life and save on fuel costs. Don’t slack on maintenance—rotate tires every 10,000 km or so to prevent uneven wear and potential accidents.
