2 Answers
The Cerato uses two sizes of tires, one is 205/50r16 and the other is 195/60r15. The Cerato is a compact car under Kia, which is equipped with two engines, one is a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine. The 1.6L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 112 horsepower and a maximum torque of 145 Nm. The maximum power speed of this engine is 6000 rpm, and the maximum torque speed is 4500 rpm. It is matched with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4AT transmission. The 1.8L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 128 horsepower and a maximum torque of 161 Nm. The maximum power speed of this engine is 6000 rpm, and the maximum torque speed is 4500 rpm. It is matched with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4AT transmission.
I've been driving my Cerato for over four years now. The original tire size is 195/65 R15 - not particularly large but very practical. The fuel consumption is quite good for city driving, averaging around 7 liters per 100 km. When replacing the tires, I opted for Michelin, which offers better grip and no slipping on rainy days, making me feel more secure while driving. The 65% aspect ratio is well-designed, providing minimal vibration when going over speed bumps and maintaining good stability during long highway trips. The tire shop recommended checking the wear indicators every 20,000 km and replacing them promptly if worn out. The 195/65 R15 size is quite common and reasonably priced at around 400-500 RMB per tire. Remember to maintain tire pressure at 30 psi during summer - I learned this the hard way as improper pressure leads to faster wear and higher fuel consumption. Overall, this tire size matches the Cerato perfectly - don't randomly change the size to avoid potential issues.
