The new Santana has two tire models, which are 175/70R14 and 185/60R15. Tire specifications are usually represented by a set of numbers, with the first number indicating the tire section width and the latter indicating the rim diameter in inches. The length, width, and height of the new Santana are 4475 millimeters, 1706 millimeters, and 1469 millimeters respectively, with a wheelbase of 2603 millimeters. The new Santana is a compact sedan, and the entire lineup uses a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine with the code name EA211DLF. This engine has a maximum power of 82 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 145 Newton-meters.
I just upgraded to the new Santana, which typically comes with original tires in the size 195/65 R15, featuring a 195mm width, 65 aspect ratio, and 15-inch rim diameter. For daily driving, this size is well-suited for family cars, balancing comfort and handling. If road conditions are poor or slippery, maintaining this size helps improve grip and braking response. I often recommend that car owners check the label on the door frame or the owner's manual to confirm the exact size, as there might be slight variations depending on the configuration or year. Choosing the wrong size may increase fuel consumption or cause suspension issues, so it's important to match the tire size. When replacing, opt for radial tires, which are durable, quiet, and can extend the tire's lifespan.
