2 Answers
Chevrolet Cruze tire models include 205/65R15 and 205/60R16. The following is the relevant introduction: Specific information: 205/65R15 means the tire width is 205MM, the aspect ratio of the tire section is 65%, that is, the section height is 65% of the width, and the rim diameter is 15 inches. 205/60R16 means the tire width is 205MM, the aspect ratio of the tire section is 60%, that is, the section height is 60% of the width, and the rim diameter is 16 inches. Tire features: Chevrolet Cruze tires are specially designed for sedan road conditions, achieving safety, toughness, and fuel-saving functions, while also providing comfort and quietness. The high-elastic tread rubber enhances mechanical grip, effectively shortening the braking distance, and the skeleton uses high-strength cords to enhance tire strength.
I've been driving a Cruze for five years, and there are significant differences between the model years. For example, the base models from 2009-2014 came with 205/60 R16 tires, while the higher trims used 215/50 R17. After the mid-cycle update in 2015, the size changed to 225/50 R17. Interestingly, the newer models have moved away from larger wheels, with 215/55 R16 being more common now. If you're considering modifications, pay attention to the wheel's J value. For instance, the factory 16-inch 6.5J wheels paired with 205-width tires provide good stability. The tire model is marked in small letters on the sidewall, so just look carefully. When replacing tires, it's advisable to stick with the original size to avoid rubbing the wheel arches, especially in rainy conditions when traction is poor.
