The original tires of the Baojun 730 are from the brand Giti Tire, with two available models: 195/55R16 and 205/55R16. Tires are one of the most important components of a vehicle, and their main functions include: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle, bearing the load, and transmitting forces and torques in other directions; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, thereby improving the vehicle's power performance, braking performance, and passability; 3. Protecting the vehicle's components from severe vibrations and early damage, adapting to the vehicle's high-speed performance, reducing driving noise, and ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel economy.

I've been driving the Baojun 730 for several years, and it came with Hankook tires, like the Kinergy GT series, which feel quite stable and are cost-effective for family use. However, different batches and configurations of the car might switch brands, such as the high-end versions using Goodyear or similar premium brands for better grip. I usually maintain tire pressure around 2.5 bar—too low increases fuel consumption, while too high affects comfort. I recommend checking tread wear regularly; if it's worn out, replace it immediately to avoid skidding accidents. When choosing new tires, refer to the manufacturer's recommended size and avoid random modifications. In terms of price, Hankook is more affordable, but Goodyear is more durable. Safety comes first—tire quality directly affects handling, so don't skimp on this.

Last time I repaired my friend's Baojun 730, his 2018 model came with Hankook tires, which had the brand logo on the sidewall—a pretty common choice for family cars. When I helped him change the tires, I noticed severe wear and tear. After switching to Goodyear tires of the same size, they felt quieter and more durable. The tire brands for Baojun series cars aren’t fixed; the salesperson said the base models might use domestic brands like Maxxis, while higher trims upgrade to premium brands. I check my tire pressure once a week, and in summer, I pay extra attention to thermal expansion and contraction since overinflation can lead to blowouts. For daily use, Hankook tires are sufficient, but when replacing them, I opt for tires with long-lasting tread patterns to extend the replacement cycle and save money. Safety is crucial, especially when traveling with kids—never overlook tire issues.

I've test-driven the Baojun 730, which mostly comes with Hankook Kinergy as original tires. For the standard version, these offer good cost-performance ratio, providing smooth starts but average wet road grip. From a young enthusiast's perspective, tire brands significantly impact driving pleasure – upgrading to Michelin would noticeably enhance performance with more precise handling. Baojun's choice of Hankook reflects cost control considerations, though the basic handling remains reliable. Check tread depth monthly to prevent skidding. When replacing tires, don't just focus on brands; ensure size matches original specifications to avoid issues. Overall, the stock tires are adequate, but consider upgrades if pursuing driving passion.
