The Baojun 510 is equipped with 205/60R16 Kumho tires. Kumho Tires has a complete production line, covering passenger car tires, commercial vehicle tires, high-tech tires, and other categories. Below is a related introduction to the Baojun 510: 1. The base model of the Baojun 510 comes with Linglong brand tires, while the higher-end models feature Linglong, Kumho, or Giti brand tires. These tires belong to mid-to-high-end brands with excellent performance, outstanding handling, and good comfort. They utilize advanced low-noise technology for quiet operation, combining low rolling resistance materials and structures to reduce tire rolling resistance and lower overall vehicle fuel consumption. 2. The Baojun 510 is powered by a 1.5L high-torque naturally aspirated engine, with the transmission system offering three options: 6MT, 5AMT, or an 8-speed simulated CVT. The CVT transmission can achieve continuously variable transmission within an ultra-wide ratio range of 2.08-14.5, providing smooth and natural gear shifts, effortless and smooth power output, and a transmission efficiency of up to 88.6%.
Last year, I bought a Baojun 510. Driving the new car around, the original tires were from the Giti brand, model seems to be the Giti Comfort series, size 205/60R16. This specification is quite suitable for city commuting, offering good fuel efficiency and quiet performance. After driving over 20,000 kilometers, the wear is fairly even, so I haven't switched to other brands. I recommend that owners check the label on the side of the tire upon receiving the car to confirm. If you feel the tires are aging or the noise is too loud, go for an inspection and replacement early. Daily maintenance is simple—regularly check tire pressure and wheel alignment to extend the lifespan to over 50,000 kilometers and avoid the risk of sudden blowouts.
I've worked on quite a few Baojun 510 vehicles, which mostly come with factory-fitted Giti or Linglong tires, with Giti being more common. They use the 205/60R16 size. These tires are designed with an emphasis on economy, suitable for daily driving, offering decent grip but can be a bit slippery on snow and ice. When checking tire lifespan, if the tread depth feels less than 1.6mm, it's time to replace them. Maintenance advice includes checking tire pressure monthly; maintaining correct pressure can save fuel and prevent blowouts. When replacing, opt for the same factory model or economical options like Linglong, and don't compromise safety by choosing inferior tires just to save money.
