What is the tire model of the Huansu S3?
3 Answers
The tire model of the Huansu S3 is 205/65R16. The first number 205 represents the tire width of 205MM, 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 16 denotes the rim diameter of 16 inches. The Huansu S3 has a maximum speed of 160km/h and a fuel consumption of 7L per 100 kilometers. In addition to the model, the tire also displays the following common data: Tire cord material: Represented by Chinese Pinyin, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, and ZG for steel radial cord. 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. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: Shows the rim size compatible with the tire for practical use, such as 'Standard Rim 5.00F'.
As a long-time owner of the Huansu S3, I've been driving this car for over four years, and it originally came with 205/65 R15 tires. I remember when I bought the car, the tire sidewall clearly displayed the 205/65 R15 specification markings. However, I heard that the later facelifted models switched to 16-inch wheels with 205/60 R16 tires. You can't just change tire sizes casually when replacing them—last time I tried to save money by getting the wrong size, and it noticeably made the steering heavier and increased fuel consumption. Actually, those numbers and letters on the tire sidewall have specific meanings. For example, '95H' represents the load index and speed rating, and for this car model, the H rating is more than sufficient. Now, at around 30,000 kilometers, I rotate the front and rear tires to ensure even tread wear, which extends their lifespan.
I've researched the tire configuration of the Huansu S3. The standard version uses 205/65 R15 tires, while the high-end version comes with 205/60 R16. When choosing tires, the 205mm width strikes a good balance between handling and fuel consumption. The 65 aspect ratio provides much more comfort than low-profile tires when driving on rough rural roads. Recently, I helped a friend replace his tires with domestic brand tires of the same size and found that those with a Treadwear index of 380 on the sidewall were significantly more wear-resistant than the original 280-rated ones. When changing tires, always check the DOT marking for the production date - once I discovered stock tires that were over three years old. I make it a habit to check tread depth monthly using a coin - when the coin's portrait neck disappears into the main tread groove, it's time to replace the tires.
