What is the tire model of the Great Wall Florid?
3 Answers
The tire model of the Great Wall Florid is 195/55R16. The first number 195 indicates the tire width is 195MM, 55 represents the aspect ratio of the tire section is 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width, the letter R stands for radial tire, and 16 denotes the rim diameter is 16 inches. The Great Wall Florid has a maximum speed of 162km/h and a fuel consumption of 6.5L per 100km. In addition to the model, the tire also displays 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. 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; Rim specification: Shows the rim specification compatible with the tire for practical use, such as "Standard rim 5.00F".
My Great Wall Voleex C30 is the 1.6L top trim, which came with factory-fitted 185/60 R15 tires, while my friend's 1.3L version uses 165/70 R14 tires. After driving for over six years, I've changed tires three times and learned that selecting tires requires special attention to wheel size compatibility. Last time when changing tires, the mechanic reminded me that 185 refers to the tread width in millimeters, 60 is the aspect ratio representing the sidewall height being 60% of the tread width, R indicates radial construction, and 15 means it fits 15-inch wheels. Never casually modify the size - I once tried installing 195-width tires and they rubbed against the wheel arches during turns. It's recommended to regularly check tread depth; factory tires should be replaced after 5-6 years as their wet traction noticeably decreases.
The Brilliance models have different tire configurations depending on the trim. The 1.6L version uses 185/60 R15 tires, while the 1.3L and 1.5L versions mostly come with 165/70 R14. In these codes, the first three digits represent the tread width in millimeters, the two-digit number is the aspect ratio, the letter R stands for radial construction, and the final number indicates the wheel diameter in inches. It's best to maintain the original specifications when replacing tires. I've encountered customers who upgraded to larger wheels themselves, resulting in speedometer errors exceeding 5 km/h. The tire sidewall also shows the load index and speed rating - the Brilliance's 91V specification is sufficient. For maintenance reminder, remember to rotate the tires every 20,000 kilometers to extend their service life.
