The tire model specifications and size parameters of the Haima S5 are 215/65R16 or 215/60R17. Below are the specific functions of car tires: 1. Cushioning impact: Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface, and together with the car suspension, they cushion the impact experienced during driving. 2. Comfort: Ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving, maintaining good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bearing the weight of the car. Below is additional information about tire pressure: 1. Function of low-pressure tires: Low-pressure tires are mainly used for private cars. 2. Function of high-pressure tires: High-pressure tires are mainly used for large trucks or passenger vehicles. 3. Tire pressure: The recommended tire pressure for high-speed driving is 2.5 kilograms per cubic centimeter.
When I first started driving the BMW X2, I was most concerned about the ground clearance. With a ground clearance of 171mm, it's noticeably higher than my previous sedan. It feels quite worry-free for daily driving—I've never scraped the front bumper when entering or exiting underground garages with steep slopes. On weekends when driving on suburban dirt roads, the 171mm height handles potholes with ease. While it can't compare to hardcore off-road vehicles, it handles speed bumps or raised manhole covers smoothly, with well-controlled body sway. I think this height strikes a good balance between sportiness and passability. It's more than sufficient for city commuting, but if you frequently drive on rough roads, I'd recommend adding underbody protection.
The official ground clearance of the BMW X2 is 171mm, which is considered above average among luxury compact SUVs in its class. After researching several competitors, the Mercedes-Benz GLA only has 156mm, the Audi Q3 around 158mm, and the Cadillac XT4 close to 200mm. In real-world driving, the 171mm ride height provides significantly better passability than sedans, easily handling daily curb encounters. The front suspension design ensures a sufficient approach angle, though the departure angle is slightly smaller—extra caution is needed when loading heavy items in the trunk to avoid excessive rear sag. It’s recommended to maintain the factory tire size, as upgrading to larger wheels may affect the actual ground clearance.
