What is the tire model of Geely Emgrand GS?

[Addyson]

Geely Emgrand GS tire model is 205/60r16. Tires are one of the important components of a car, directly in contact with the road surface, mitigating the impact during driving, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving the car's traction, braking, and passability, and bearing the weight of the car. The length, width, and height of the Geely Emgrand GS are: 4440mm, 1833mm, 1573mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm and a body weight of 1365kg. The front suspension of the Geely Emgrand GS is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4t turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 141ps, a maximum power of 104kw, a maximum torque of 235nm, and is matched with a 6-speed manual transmission.

Honestly, the tire model of the Emgrand GS depends on which specific version you have. My own car is the 2018 GS Sport edition, which came with Goodyear EfficientGrip tires in size 225/45 R18 from the factory. They offer good grip but are slightly noisy. However, if you have the earlier 1.3T version, I remember it came with Giti tires in size 205/60 R16. The most accurate method is to look at the sidewall of your own tires, where you'll find a combination of numbers and letters like '215/50 R17 91V'. The number before the slash indicates the tire width, the number after is the aspect ratio, 'R' stands for radial tire, and the following number is the wheel diameter. When replacing tires, just follow this set of numbers and letters to get the right ones.

I've researched this issue, and the tire differences across various year models of the Emgrand GS are quite significant. When helping a friend inspect a car, I noticed the 2017 1.8L automatic version uses 205/50 R17 tires, while the version with the sports package upgrades to 18-inch wheels with 225-width tires. The tire brands also vary by batch, with some equipped with GitiComfort 228 and others with Linglong CrossWind. I recommend checking the vehicle manual or the label on the driver's side B-pillar, which clearly indicates the original specifications. By the way, replacing tires with non-original sizes may affect the annual inspection.

With a decade of experience in auto repair, I've changed dozens of Geely Emgrand GS tires. There are typically three specifications: older models mostly use 205/60 R16 (thicker sidewalls for comfort), newer models favor 215/55 R17 (balanced handling), and the high-performance sport version uses 225/45 R18 (stylish thin tires but prone to bulging). The wheel bolt pattern is 5×114.3—when selecting tires, ensure the load index is no lower than 91V. A little-known fact: the factory-recommended tire pressure label is inside the fuel cap; inflating to 2.3bar best protects the tires.

Last week, I just changed the tires for my GS and discovered an important detail: when selecting tire models, you not only need to consider the size but also the speed rating. For example, an 18-inch tire is typically labeled as 225/45 R18 95W, where the 'W' indicates a maximum speed of 270 km/h (even though our car can't reach that). Changes in tire width can affect fuel consumption; after switching to 215/50 R17, my fuel consumption dropped by 0.3 liters per 100 kilometers. For winter, it's recommended to use snow tires, which have a snowflake and mountain symbol on the model. Remember, the tire production date is hidden in an oval frame, such as '3523', which means the 35th week of 2023.

As a three-time Geely Emgrand GS owner, sharing a practical tip: Enter your license plate number directly in the car maintenance app on your phone, and it will automatically display the compatible tire models. Last month when changing tires, I noticed the rear tires on the sport version wore out faster than the front ones. The technician said it's due to the torsion beam suspension characteristics. Reminder to everyone: avoid mixing tires with different tread patterns, as they can easily skid in rainy conditions. I'm currently using Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 (225/45 R18), which shortens wet braking distance by over 2 meters compared to the factory tires. It's more expensive but safer.
