What is the tire model and size of the Chery E3?
2 Answers
The tire size model of the Chery E3 is 185/60R15. In 185/60R15, the first number 185 represents the tire width of 185MM, 60 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 60%, meaning the section height is 60% of the width, and 15 stands for the rim diameter of 15 inches. The letter R in the middle denotes a radial tire. The Chery E3 uses Giti Comfort228 tires, and the spare tire is non-full size. If you want to replace the tires yourself, you can follow the steps below: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the frame of the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack touches the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car. The jack should be positioned under the vehicle, check and ensure the jack is at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hub cover, loosen the nuts counterclockwise. Do not completely loosen the nuts, just enough to eliminate resistance. When loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures that the nuts, not the tire, are turning; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose. Repeat this step for all lug nuts and completely remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully align the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, and tighten them by hand until all nuts are concealed. At this point, the tire replacement is complete. In addition to the model, the tire also has the following common data: Tire carcass ply material: represented by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton ply, R-rayon ply, N-nylon ply, G-steel ply, ZG-steel radial ply tire. Speed rating: indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry the specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of the tire 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: indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire for practical use, such as standard rim 5.00F.
The tire size for the Chery E3 is typically 175/65 R14, which provides a comfortable ride in the city due to its moderate size, low road noise, and fuel efficiency. I remember commuting daily with this size, and it handled speed bumps smoothly. However, it's worth noting that configurations may vary slightly across different model years—for example, newer versions come with 185/60 R15 tires for a sportier feel. Regularly check the tire pressure to maintain around 2.3 bar, and replace the tires promptly when the tread wear becomes excessive. I once encountered uneven wear on the front tires due to mismatched sizes, so now I strictly use original factory-spec tires to avoid issues.
