What is the tire model of BYD Yuan?
2 Answers
The original tire configuration model of BYD Yuan is 205/60R16. The first number 205 indicates that the tire width is 205MM, 60 means the aspect ratio of the tire section is 60%, that is, the section height is 60% of the width, the letter R stands for radial tire, and 16 represents the rim diameter is 16 inches. The fuel consumption of BYD Yuan is 5.9L 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. Speed rating: indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of tires from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Commonly used speed ratings are: 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.
As a mechanic who has spent most of my life working in auto shops, I've seen many BYD Yuan models, like the Yuan Pro, which usually comes with factory-fitted 215/55 R17 tires. This means a width of 215 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 55, and a 17-inch wheel size. This size is quite suitable, balancing handling and comfort, avoiding excessive bumpiness and providing better stability during turns. Owners should regularly check tire pressure and wear, such as measuring tire pressure monthly to maintain it around 2.4 bar, which can extend tire life and reduce fuel consumption. If the tires are severely worn or aged, replace them promptly with the same factory model—never randomly change sizes to avoid affecting braking safety. I've seen many accidents caused by tire issues, where owners neglected maintenance, posing significant risks on highways. I recommend checking tire condition during authorized service visits.
