What brand are the original tires on the Nissan Sylphy?
2 Answers
The original tires on the Nissan Sylphy are Dunlop brand, which are mid-range tires that combine quietness and comfort. More related information is as follows: 1. Exterior: The new Sylphy largely follows the design of the overseas version, featuring Nissan's family-style V-motion front grille design, with the headlight assembly connected to the grille, making the LED daytime running lights look sharper. Additionally, the new front bumper gives the car a more sporty appearance. 2. Interior: The interior of the new model is more stylish compared to the previous version, with an embedded LCD display on the center console and simplified button design. In terms of features, the new car will be equipped with Apple CarPlay, lane departure warning system, blind spot warning system, rear cross-traffic alert, multifunction steering wheel, one-touch start, dual-zone automatic climate control, and heated front seats. 3. Powertrain: The new Sylphy will continue with the current powertrain options, offering 1.6L and 1.8L naturally aspirated engines. The 1.6L engine delivers a maximum power of 126 horsepower, while the 1.8L engine produces 139 horsepower. Transmission options include a manual or CVT gearbox paired with the engines.
In our Sylphy owners' group, we often discuss the topic of OEM tires. It's quite common to see Yokohama BluEarth E70 tires installed on classic Sylphy models when they leave the factory. These tires offer decent grip, but the road noise does get noticeably loud after prolonged driving. During my last maintenance visit, I noticed the display model of the new 14th-generation Sylphy was equipped with Dunlop ENASAVE EC300+ tires. The salesperson mentioned these tires are fuel-efficient but slightly harder. Actually, Bridgestone Ecopia EP300 also frequently appears in Nissan's supply chain, though the specific brand depends on the factory's procurement plan for that year. Here's a little-known fact: even vehicles from the same production batch might have different tire brands installed. One owner reported having Yokohama tires on the left wheels and Bridgestone on the right.
