2 Answers
The tire specifications for the Golf 7 are front tires 205/55r16 and rear tires 205/55r16. Its body dimensions are: length 4255mm, width 1799mm, height 1451mm, wheelbase 2637mm, fuel tank capacity 50l, trunk capacity 501l, and curb weight 1260kg. The Golf 7 features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The Golf 7 typically comes with various tire configurations, and I've encountered different setups while driving. The most common specification is 205/55 R16, which means the tire width is 205 millimeters, the aspect ratio is 55%, and the wheel size is 16 inches. This size is quite common and suitable for most models, providing stable driving and good handling. I remember during my last maintenance, the mechanic reminded me to regularly check tire wear because the original design aims to balance handling and comfort. If you're buying a used car or a different version, the size might vary. For example, the luxury version sometimes uses 215/45 R17. In any case, you can check the label on the driver's door to confirm your tire size. Choosing the right specification when replacing tires can save a lot of fuel. Never get it wrong, as it could affect driving safety or increase fuel consumption. After driving for so many years, I've learned not to overlook tire details.
