What brand and model are the original tires on the Buick Excelle?
2 Answers
The Buick Excelle is equipped with Goodyear ASSURANCE Comfortred series tires for standard models, while the base version uses Giti tires. The tire specifications are 195/65-R15 for the base version and 205/55-R16 for mid-to-high trim models. Notes: 1. Tire replacement cycle: Generally replaced every 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers. The specific replacement cycle depends on the tire's usage condition, but tires should not be used for more than 6 years regardless of previous usage. 2. Year marking standard: Tires are marked with their production year. Tire performance degrades over time and with usage. 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 original tires were Maxxis MA656 models, size 205/55 R16. They feel quite durable for daily commuting, with stable grip on wet roads, but there's some noise at high speeds, affecting the quietness inside the car. I drove over 50,000 kilometers before replacing them, and the inspection showed even tread wear, indicating the original tires are well-designed for urban conditions and cost-effective. When replacing, I chose the same Maxxis model, and the technician said matching the original wheel rims is crucial to avoid affecting handling. It's recommended that owners check tire pressure and wear every six months to ensure driving safety. If the budget allows, upgrading to Michelin would offer more comfort, but the original tires are sufficient for commuting and short trips.
