There are two types of tire size models for Wuling Hongguang, which are 175/70R14 and 185/70R14. The first number 175 represents the tire width of 175MM, 70 indicates that the aspect ratio of the tire section is 70%, that is, the section height is 70% of the width, the letter R stands for radial tire, and 14 represents the rim diameter of 14 inches. The maximum speed of Wuling Hongguang is 155km/h, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 6.7L. In addition to the model, the tire is also marked with the following common data: Tire cord material: represented by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry the specified load under specified conditions. The letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of the tire from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Commonly used speed ratings are: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: indicates the rim specification that matches the tire. It is convenient for practical use, such as "standard rim 5.00F".
I noticed many Wuling Hongguang owners inquire about the original tire specifications. My own vehicle came equipped with 195/70 R15 all-season tires, which means a width of 195mm, aspect ratio of 70, and 15-inch rims. This design offers an economical and practical solution, balancing comfort and fuel efficiency, making it ideal for daily cargo transport on town roads. If you own a newer Hongguang S or another variant, it's best to check the owner's manual or visit a 4S dealership for confirmation, as specifications may vary across different configurations. When replacing tires, it's crucial to match the original specifications to avoid putting extra strain on the suspension, which could lead to minor issues like accelerated wear or compromised braking stability. Remember to regularly check tire pressure and tread wear to extend tire life and reduce the risk of blowouts.
