1 Answers
The original tire size and model for the Mazda 6 is 205/55R16. The first number, 205, represents the tire width of 205MM. The 55 indicates the tire's aspect ratio is 55%, meaning the sidewall height is 45% of the width. The 16 represents the rim diameter of 16 inches, and the letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. All Mazda 6 models are equipped with Hankook OPTIMO-K415 tires with a 91V rating. These tires focus on durability and cost-effectiveness. If you want to replace the tires yourself, you can follow these steps: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the frame of the tire you want to replace, ensuring the jack touches the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, making sure the jack is positioned under the vehicle and at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hub cover and loosen the nuts counterclockwise. Do not completely loosen them; just enough to eliminate resistance. Keeping the tire on the ground when first loosening the nuts ensures that the nuts turn, not the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they come off, repeating this step for all lug nuts, then remove them completely; Place the new tire on the wheel hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts. Install the lug nuts and hand-tighten them until all nuts are snug. At this point, the tire replacement is complete. In addition to the model, tires also display the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, and ZG for steel radial cord tires. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: Shows the rim size compatible with the tire for practical use, such as "Standard Rim 5.00F."
