1 Answers
The eighth-generation Accord has two tire specifications: 215/50R16 and 225/50R17. For 215/50R16, the first number 215 represents the tire width of 215MM, 50 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 50%, meaning the section height is 50% of the width, and 16 represents the rim diameter of 16 inches. The letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. For 225/50R17, the first number 225 represents the tire width of 225MM, 50 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 50%, meaning the section height is 50% of the width, and 17 represents the rim diameter of 17 inches. The letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. The 2.0L model of the eighth-generation Accord is equipped with Yokohama tires, the 2.5L model uses Yokohama tires, and the 3.0L model uses Michelin tires. The spare tire is non-full size. If you want to change the tires yourself, you can follow these steps: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the frame of the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack touches the metal part of the frame. Raise the jack until it supports the car. The jack should be positioned under the vehicle, and ensure it is perpendicular to the ground. Remove the hub cover, loosen the nuts counterclockwise. Do not completely loosen the nuts; just enough to eliminate resistance. When loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures that the nuts, not the tire, are turning. Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose. Repeat this step for all lug nuts and remove them completely. Place the new tire on the rim, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts. Install the lug nuts and tighten them by hand until all nuts are snug. At this point, the tire replacement is complete. In addition to the specifications, the following common data are also marked on the tire: Tire cord material: indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters 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: indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire for practical use, such as "Standard rim 5.04F".
