What is the size of the Corolla tires?
2 Answers
Corolla tires are 16 inches in size. Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery for rolling on the ground. They are usually mounted on metal rims and can support the vehicle body, buffer external impacts, achieve contact with the road surface, and ensure the driving performance of the vehicle. The Corolla is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan under FAW Toyota, with a length, width, and height of 4635mm, 1780mm, and 1455mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission. The vehicle uses a 1.2T L4 turbocharged engine, with a maximum engine torque of 185 Nm and a maximum torque speed range of 1500 to 4000 rpm. The driving method is front-wheel drive.
The tire size for the Corolla depends on the year and configuration, with significant differences between models. Older Corollas typically use 15-inch wheels with 195/65 R15 tires. In recent years, the base models mostly retain 15-inch wheels, while mid-range versions upgrade to 16-inch wheels with 205/55 R16 tires. The high-performance sports versions are even more extreme, featuring 17-inch wheels with 225/45 R17 tires. When replacing tires, never randomly change the size—my neighbor once switched to 18-inch wheels without authorization, which not only caused the tires to rub against the wheel arches when turning but also increased fuel consumption by 20%. To find the exact tire size for your car, the most reliable method is to check the label on the door frame or the sidewall of the tire, where the full code like P195/65R15 is printed. During maintenance, be careful not to hit the wheels against curbs, as deformation can shorten tire lifespan.
