The original tire brand of the Baojun 730 is Giti Tire, with the model number 195/55r16. Taking the 2019 Baojun 730 as an example, it is an MPV with body dimensions of: length 4710mm, width 1765mm, height 1740mm, a wheelbase of 2750mm, a minimum ground clearance of 135mm, and a body weight of 1400kg. The 2019 Baojun 730 features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension, with a front-wheel drive layout. It is equipped with a 2.0T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 105ps, a maximum torque of 135nm, and a maximum power of 77kw.
The Baojun 730 actually comes with different tire brands as original equipment. This model varies significantly depending on trim levels and production years. From what I've observed, many 730s with higher trims often use Continental tires, which focus on quietness and comfort while delivering decent grip. Mid-to-lower trims more commonly feature domestic brands like Linglong or Giti, known for good wear resistance and cost-effectiveness. I recall the 2016 models with 215/55 R17 size frequently used Linglong, while some 2019 versions upgraded to Continentals. If you're replacing tires yourself, I recommend checking the label on the door frame first to confirm OEM specifications - sticking with the same brand makes things easiest. The price difference between versions can reach 300 yuan per tire, so don't forget to take a good look at the wheels when purchasing!
My 2018 Baojun 730 came equipped with Linglong CrossWind tires. After three years and over 50,000 kilometers of driving, including many trips on suburban gravel roads, the wear has been less than expected, though the wet grip is slightly weak. The original tire size is 215/55 R17. When replacing the tires, I found that different production batches used either Giti or Continental tires. The 4S dealership explained that the manufacturer procures different brands in batches. I recommend taking photos of your tires during maintenance and saving them on your phone to avoid being misled about replacements. Domestic tire brands have made significant progress in recent years, offering excellent value for money, and are perfectly adequate for regular family use.
The Baojun 730's factory tire selection is quite practical. The base trim usually comes with Linglong or Wanli tires, focusing on durability and affordability, making them ideal for rough roads without worrying about tire wear. Mid to high trims are upgraded to international brands like Continental UC6, offering better noise reduction and water drainage. During a friend's car inspection, I noticed the standard size was 215/55 R17, and the wheel design also affects tire installation. Don't underestimate tires—different brands can vary by 5 decibels in noise, directly impacting long-distance comfort. For new car owners, it's advisable to check the vehicle conformity certificate, which clearly states the tire brand and model in black and white.
