The tire model of Mazda 3 is 195/65R15. The first number 195 represents the tire width of 195MM, 65 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 65%, meaning the section height is 65% of the width. The letter R stands for radial tire, and 15 represents the rim diameter of 15 inches. The maximum speed of Mazda 3 is 187km/h, with a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 12 seconds. In addition to the model, tires are also marked with 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.

I've been driving a Mazda 3 for several years now. For common models like the 2020 version, the tire sizes are typically 205/55R16 or 215/45R18, depending on the trim level. My base model uses 205/55R16 Michelin tires, which have lasted 50,000 kilometers without needing replacement—they're very durable. When choosing tires, don't randomly switch sizes because mismatched dimensions can worsen handling, even affect braking distance, especially in rain or snow where slipping becomes more likely. Remember to check the sidewall label on your tires or the owner's manual, which specifies the original size. If replacing tires, I recommend sticking to the factory specifications—avoid cheaper aftermarket options that can cause issues. Also, regularly check tire pressure and tread wear; maintaining good condition saves fuel and ensures safety. Additionally, consider switching to winter tires in cold months—just make sure the size is appropriate and not drastically different.
