3 Answers
BYD Han is equipped with Continental's MC6 sport tires with the specification of 245/45R19, focusing on grip and handling. BYD Han is a B-segment car with body dimensions of 4980/1910/1495mm and a wheelbase of 2920mm. BYD Han was launched on July 12, 2020, with a total of 4 models. It is equipped with a new lithium iron phosphate blade battery. It uses a 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel and a 15.6-inch rotatable central control LCD screen. It provides a total of 6 USB ports (4 in the front row and 2 in the rear row). It supports the mobile phone NFC car key function, which allows unlocking by simply bringing the phone close without the need to power on or connect to the internet. BYD Han has two models: hybrid and electric. The biggest difference between the two models lies in the powertrain system. The electric model is entirely driven by an electric motor, while the hybrid model has both a fuel engine and an electric motor. The electric motor of the electric model has a power output of 163kw and 363kw, with peak torque of 330Nm and 680Nm, matched with a single-speed transmission. The hybrid model is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with the electric motor delivering a maximum power of 180kw and 330Nm.
The tire model for the BYD Han depends on the specific variant, as different configurations come with varying tire sizes. For example, the flagship version typically uses 245/45 R19 tires. Here, 245 refers to the tire width of 245 millimeters, 45 is the aspect ratio indicating that the sidewall height is 45% of the width, and R19 means a 19-inch wheel diameter. I've driven the Han for over two years and recently replaced the tires. This model offers stable handling, strong grip, and no slipping in rainy conditions. The entry-level version might use 235/50 R18 tires, with a higher aspect ratio for more comfort, but different models affect the driving feel. I recommend checking the vehicle's nameplate or the tire sidewall to confirm the size before replacement to avoid mismatched tires, which can increase fuel consumption and damage the car. For maintenance, keep the tire pressure at the standard value and consider brands like Michelin or Continental for durability and safety.
The BYD Han tire models vary by trim. The high-performance version comes standard with 245/45 R19 tires, while the base model typically uses 235/50 R18. The R19 in the size indicates 19-inch wheel diameter, which provides good handling at high speeds. As someone who frequently changes tires, I've seen owners using incorrect sizes leading to alignment issues or excessive noise, compromising ride stability. Remember to check tread depth during every maintenance - replace them promptly if worn too thin to avoid skidding risks. Also, tire sizes must match wheel specifications; avoid arbitrarily upgrading to larger rims during modifications as it significantly increases fuel consumption. We recommend sticking to OEM sizes for better cost-performance. Brands like Michelin or Bridgestone offer durable options.
