The Chery E3 comes with factory-fitted 185/60 R15 tires, which means a tread width of 185 mm, an aspect ratio of 60%, and a rim diameter of 15 inches. This tire size provides a comfortable ride in the city, with minimal bumpiness over speed bumps, and sufficient grip for highway driving. I remember my E3 originally came with Giti tires, which lasted over 30,000 kilometers before needing replacement. Later, I switched to Dunlop tires of the same size and noticed a significant reduction in noise. The sidewall of the tire also shows the parameter 86H, where 86 is the load index, indicating a maximum load capacity of 530 kg, and H represents a maximum speed of 210 km/h—don’t overlook this when replacing tires. The manual recommends keeping the tire pressure between 2.3-2.5 bar and checking it monthly.

I've been driving the E3 for five years, and the original tires were 185/60 R15. One winter after heavy snow, I noticed the tread was nearly worn out, so I promptly replaced them with a set of Michelin tires in the same size. The mechanic said this size is the most suitable for the 15-inch rims on this car, with just the right sidewall thickness, making them more durable against impacts compared to thinner tires. When changing tires, be careful not to damage the rim edges during installation, and always get a wheel balance after replacement. Last time I skipped it, and the steering wheel started shaking at speeds over 80 km/h. This size of tire costs around 300 RMB each online, and about 50 RMB more at physical stores, but installation is included. It's recommended to use new tires on the front wheels and older ones on the rear for more stable steering.

The tire size for the Chery E3 is 185/60 R15, which can be seen on the door frame nameplate. Never skimp on cost by changing the tire size—I've seen people switch to 195, resulting in heavier steering and rubbing against the wheel arches. The series of numbers on the tire sidewall, such as '3718', indicates the production date: the last two digits '18' stand for 2018, and '37' means the 37th week. Tires must be replaced when the tread depth is below 1.6 mm. Insert a one-yuan coin into the tread—if the top of the national emblem is visible, it's time to change. Rotate your tires every 8,000 km, crossing front to rear to extend their lifespan.
