The first number 235 represents the tire width of 235MM, 50 indicates the tire's aspect ratio is 50%, meaning the section height is 50% of the width, the letter R stands for radial tire, and 16 represents the rim diameter of 16 inches. The BYD Song Plus DM-i has a fuel consumption of 6.9L per 100 kilometers. In addition to the model, the tire also marks the following common data: Tire cord material: Represented by Chinese Pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire.

My BYD Song PLUS DMi came with 215/55 R18 tires when I bought it, which provide a comfortable ride and good fuel efficiency. Remember that 215 refers to the tire width in millimeters, 55 is the aspect ratio, and R18 indicates 18-inch rims. It's stable for daily city commuting, and the replacement cost is reasonable. The 4S store recommends Michelin or Giti as the most suitable original tires for this model. Before changing tires, it's best to check the tire pressure and wear to avoid affecting handling and prevent accidents on long trips. BYD vehicles often follow this pattern—higher trim models might use larger 235/50 R19 tires, so it's advisable to confirm the tire specifications before delivery to avoid being misled. Over time, you can also compare how different tire brands affect fuel consumption and noise levels.
