What is the tire model and size for the Elysion?
3 Answers
The tire size for the Elysion is 225/50R18. The first number, 225, represents the tire width of 225MM. The 50 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire's cross-section is 50%, meaning the height of the cross-section is 50% of the width. The 18 signifies the rim diameter is 18 inches, and the letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. The Elysion tires are branded as Yokohama and Dunlop, featuring a dual five-spoke wheel design, with the spare tire being non-full size. If you wish to replace the tires yourself, follow these steps: Retrieve the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the vehicle frame near the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack contacts the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, making sure the jack is positioned directly under the vehicle and at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hubcap, loosen the nuts counterclockwise, but do not fully remove 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 are loose, repeating this step for all lug nuts, then remove them completely; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, and hand-tighten them until all nuts are snug. The tire replacement is now 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, 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".
I recently replaced the tires on my old Odyssey. The factory tires on this car are quite interesting. The current mainstream configuration for the Odyssey is 225/50 R18, with a tire width of 225mm, an aspect ratio of 50%, and 18-inch rims. However, it depends on which year model you have specifically—since the 2022 model year, this has been the standard specification. Just a heads-up: don’t randomly change the size. The sliding door design on this car is very close to the tires, and if you install wider tires, the door might scrape the wheel arch when opening. My neighbor tried to save money by switching to 235-width tires, but every time he opened the door, there was a scraping sound—he had to switch back in the end. Oh, and the spare tire is a temporary small-sized T155/80 R17; using it long-term can make the car feel unstable.
The tires on the Elysian are essentially the same as those on its sibling model, the Odyssey. The main configuration, 225/50 R18, is quite common. The 50% aspect ratio offers a balanced setup—it's not too harsh over speed bumps, and tire noise is well-controlled at highway speeds. Last week, I accompanied a friend to replace tires and found that the Michelin Primacy 4 costs over 1,300 yuan per tire, while the domestic Chaoyang No.1 is just over 800 yuan but with slightly worse noise reduction. It's advisable to develop a good habit of checking tire pressure; 2.3 bar in the front and 2.1 bar in the rear is optimal, especially when the third row is occupied, as insufficient rear tire pressure becomes particularly noticeable. The original Bridgestone tires are on the harder side; after 50,000 kilometers, you might consider trying the Continental UC7 series.
