What brand of tires does the Levin use?
2 Answers
Levin uses Yokohama brand tires, which focus on quietness and comfort with balanced overall performance. It is a tire that emphasizes durability, wet road performance, and low noise. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. They are typically installed on metal rims, supporting the vehicle body, cushioning external impacts, ensuring contact with the road surface, and maintaining driving performance. The Levin is a compact car launched by GAC Toyota, with dimensions of 4645mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1480mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 73kw, paired with an ECVT continuously variable transmission.
I've been driving a Levin for three years, and it came with Michelin tires from the factory. They feel quite durable, produce little noise on the highway, and provide an overall comfortable ride. However, Toyota often changes tire brands depending on the model, year, and region—for example, Bridgestone or Yokohama are also common. I recommend checking the window label or contract when buying a car to confirm the tire brand, as it affects driving experience and safety. Regular tire inspections are crucial. I measure the tire pressure once a month to ensure it stays around 230 kPa, reducing the risk of a blowout. If the tires are severely worn, it's best to replace them with new ones of the original specifications at a professional shop—don't skimp by buying cheap, low-quality brands, as poor grip can lead to accidents. After replacement, remember to balance the wheels, which can extend their lifespan by tens of thousands of kilometers, save fuel, and provide peace of mind.
