What brand of tires does the Fista use?
2 Answers
The Fista uses Nexen brand tires, with front and rear tire specifications of 225/45-R17. The 2019 Fista model is available in both China V and China VI versions, featuring a front-wheel drive configuration. It has a length, width, and height of 4660mm, 1790mm, and 1425mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. Standard features of the 2019 Fista include: 1. Safety configurations: Front and side airbags for driver and passenger, seatbelt reminder, rear child seat anchors, tire pressure monitoring, ABS anti-lock braking, brake force distribution, brake assist, traction control, and electronic stability control. 2. Assistance configurations: Rear parking radar, reverse camera, driving mode selection, engine start-stop technology, auto hold, hill start assist, engine immobilizer, central locking, etc.
When I first picked up the Fista, the salesperson introduced the tires used on this car to me. Different configurations actually use different tires. The mainstream option is the Hankook Ventus series, specifically the model with K117 printed on the tire sidewall. I feel that these tires provide exceptional grip, especially during sharp turns, where they firmly cling to the road. The base models might come with Nexen SU4 or Kumho ECSTA PS71 tires, but the high-end versions definitely come with Hankook high-performance tires. Last year, when my friend was replacing his tires, he specifically checked the manual and found that the 1.6T version comes standard with 215/45 R17 specifications—the low aspect ratio looks really sporty. But honestly, performance tires generally have more noticeable road noise, and you’ll need to turn up the music on the highway to drown out the humming sound.
