What is the original tire size of the Reiz?

The original tire size of the Reiz varies. The 2.5S Fengdu Jinghua Edition and 2.5V Fengdu Jingying Edition of the Reiz use 215/60R16 tires, while other models are equipped with 235/45R18 tires. The Reiz is a mid-size car under FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4750mm in length, 1795mm in width, and 1450mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2850mm. The car's lighting features are distinctive, with front headlights in a three-beam pea-pod shape, and fog lights, low beams, and high beams arranged together in a compact size. The transparent cover of the tail lights gives a sporty feel, and the LED brake light beams resemble a stamen shape.
The REIZ typically comes with tires sized 215/55 R17 from the factory, a specification quite suitable for daily driving. I've been driving my REIZ for five years, always using the original size, and it feels very stable on highways with decent noise control. It's best not to randomly change the tire size when replacing them, as it could easily affect handling and even fuel efficiency. Regularly checking tire wear and pressure can extend their lifespan—I check the tire pressure monthly, keeping it around 2.5 bar. Remember, the original size is designed considering the vehicle's weight and suspension system. Switching to non-original specifications might be stylish but carries risks. I recommend buying branded tires from reputable shops to ensure compatibility. This way, you can drive with peace of mind and confidence.
