2 Answers
The tire configuration model for the Toyota Levin is 205/55R16. The first number 205 represents the tire width of 205MM, 55 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire cross-section is 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width. The letter R stands for radial tire, and 16 denotes the rim diameter of 16 inches. The Toyota Levin has a fuel consumption of 4L per 100 kilometers. In addition to the model, the following common data are also marked on the tire: Tire cord material: Represented 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 defined conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Commonly used 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, facilitating practical use, such as 'Standard Rim 5.00F'.
My Toyota Levin is equipped with 195/65 R15 tires, a fairly common specification indicating a tire width of 195 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 65%, and a rim diameter of 15 inches. From my daily driving experience, this size strikes a good balance between fuel economy and comfort, offering decent shock absorption on city roads without being too fuel-consuming. However, the specifications may vary depending on the model year or trim level—for instance, higher trims might come with 205/55 R16 tires for slightly better grip. I recommend checking the tire sidewall label on your car to confirm the exact specs before purchasing replacements. Sticking to the original factory specifications ensures safety and durability—avoid arbitrary size modifications, as they can lead to a bumpy ride, instability, and increased fuel consumption.
