2 Answers
The tire model of the 2017 Dongfeng Fengguang 580 is 225/60R17. The first number 225 represents the tire width of 225MM, 60 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 60%, meaning the section height is 60% of the width, and 17 stands for the rim diameter of 17 inches. The middle letters or symbols have special meanings: "X" denotes high-pressure tires; "R" and "Z" represent radial tires; "-" indicates low-pressure tires. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 7.6L. In addition to the model, the tire also carries 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 tires. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Commonly used speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h.
I drove a 2017 Fengguang 580, which originally came with Hankook Dynapro HP2 tires in size 215/60 R17. This specification means a tread width of 215 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 60%, and a wheel diameter of 17 inches. They performed well, but after five years and 60,000 kilometers, the wear became noticeable. I replaced them with Michelin Primacy tires of the same size, which significantly improved grip. When changing tires, it's crucial to choose the correct size, as a mismatch can cause steering wheel vibration and affect fuel consumption. It's advisable to check the tire pressure monthly, maintaining around 2.4 bar when cold for peace of mind and safety. Tire aging is a primary concern, especially in rainy southern regions—pay attention to tread depth; if it's less than 1.6 millimeters, don't push your luck.
