Baojun 530's mid-to-low trim models are equipped with Giti tires, while the high-end models use Continental or Michelin tires. Here are the relevant details: The tire model for the Baojun 530 is 215/60r17. The functions of the tires are: 1. To transmit driving force, braking force, and steering force to achieve vehicle operation. 2. To support the vehicle load. 3. To reduce and absorb vibrations and impacts during driving, avoiding severe vibrations that could damage vehicle components. Taking the 2021 Baojun 530 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4690mm, width 1835mm, height 1750mm, with a wheelbase of 2750mm. The 2021 Baojun 530 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 147PS, maximum power of 108kW, maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

Last time I helped my cousin check his Baojun 530, which came with Giti tires from the factory, specifically the GitiComfort 520 series. These tires offer great value for money, focusing on wear resistance and fuel efficiency, making them perfectly suitable for city driving. However, the road noise is a bit noticeable, especially on highways where you might want to turn up the music. The same model may come with Kumho or Maxxis tires depending on the production year. When replacing tires, remember to check the sidewall for the 215/60 R17 specification. Currently, Michelin Primacy 4 offers excellent noise reduction, though they cost about 30% more than the factory tires. If you frequently drive on rough roads, Maxxis all-terrain (AT) tires are more durable.

There are several Baojun 530s in our neighborhood, all with tire specifications of 215 width paired with 17-inch rims. The most common brand is Giti, easily recognizable by the large 'GITI' letters on the tire sidewall. The rubber compound of these tires is relatively hard, with tread patterns still clearly visible even after 60,000 kilometers, but their wet grip is average. During the last maintenance, the mechanic mentioned that Kumho tires were also installed in later batches, with a higher wear resistance index than Giti. When replacing tires, you don't have to stick strictly to the original brand; Dunlop VE303 offers noticeably better comfort, though it costs about 200 yuan more. Remember to maintain tire pressure at 2.4 Bar and check the wear indicators monthly for safety.

The Baojun 530 comes standard with Giti tires, commonly the Comfort 520 series. The sidewall is marked with the size parameter 215/60R17 and a four-digit production date code. This tire features deep drainage grooves, making it suitable for daily commuting. If you frequently drive on construction sites, Maxxis tires might be a better fit. When replacing tires, ensure they match the load and speed rating of 94V. I've seen cases where people mistakenly bought 91V tires, causing instability at high speeds. Nowadays, Chaoyang tires also offer good quality at a slightly lower price.
