If you want to replace the tire 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 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 turn instead of the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose, repeat this step for all lug nuts, completely remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully align the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, tighten the nuts by hand until all nuts are hidden, at this point the tire replacement is complete.

The tire model for the Changan Yuexiang typically comes with a standard configuration of 185/65 R15, which applies to most model years from 2015 to 2020. I've driven this car, and it feels quite stable in city driving, mainly due to its smaller size contributing to lower fuel consumption. Remember to check the sticker on your car's door frame or the manual for confirmation—don't just rely on others' opinions, as higher trim models might have variations. When selecting new tires, brands like Chaoyang offer good value for money, priced around three to four hundred yuan per tire with strong durability. Regular maintenance should include checking tire pressure and wear; otherwise, driving at high speeds may lead to skidding and affect annual inspections. Tires are critical components in contact with the road—safety comes first, so don’t underestimate the importance of matching the correct model. After fitting the right size, overall handling becomes smoother.
