The Changan CS55 comes with two tire brands: Continental and Yokohama. The tires differ as follows: 1. The Changan CS55 2018 1.5T Automatic Blue Motion model (China V) is equipped with Continental CrossContact tires; 2. The Changan CS55 2017 1.5T Manual Xuanse model comes with Yokohama GEOLANDAR G91 tires. The CS55 measures 4500 mm in length, 1855 mm in width, and 1690 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2650 mm. The Blue Motion model is powered by a conventional 1.5T engine and also features a 48V motor mounted at the front of the engine, paired with a 48V battery pack. The engine delivers a maximum power of 115 kW at 5500 rpm and a peak torque of 225 Nm between 2000 and 4000 rpm, while the 48V motor provides a maximum power of 11.5 kW and a peak torque of 50 Nm. The 48V battery pack, located under the trunk floor, has a capacity of 0.8 kWh.
As a Changan CS55 owner, I've been driving for over two years with the factory-fitted Giti tires, specifically the GitiComfort series in size 215/60 R17. They offer a comfortable and durable ride, making city commutes hassle-free and maintaining stability even on long highway trips, with significantly lower fuel consumption compared to some premium tires. I remember driving through waterlogged roads last rainy season—the tires' strong grip prevented any skidding. Regular tire pressure checks are advised, keeping it around 2.3-2.5 bar to avoid sudden blowouts. I also recommend checking tread wear every 5,000 km; replace them if they're too thin to prevent higher costs later. Changan made a practical choice with these tires—great value for money, costing only about 2,000 yuan for a full set, making maintenance affordable for average working-class car owners. Overall, they're a reliable, worry-free, and safe choice for daily use.
