The first number 235 represents the tire width of 235MM, 45 indicates that the aspect ratio of the tire section is 45%, meaning the section height is 45% of the width. The letter R stands for radial tire, and 18 denotes the rim diameter of 18 inches. The Skoda Superb 1.4t has a top speed of 210km/h, accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 8.7 seconds, and has a fuel consumption of 5.9L per 100km.

I just bought a Skoda Superb 1.4T with tire size 225/45 R18, which means 225mm width, 45% aspect ratio, R for radial, and 18-inch rims. The salesperson said this size is quite common and suitable for both city and highway driving. I always check the tire pressure before driving, keeping it around 230-250 kPa, as too high or too low can accelerate wear. Last time on a long trip, I noticed increased tire noise and promptly replaced them with Michelin tires, known for durability and quietness. The numbers and letters on the tire sidewall are easy to find—just look at the side. It clearly states the model. I recommend regular checks for wear and pressure. For snow or rain, use specialized tires for safety. A set of tires costs about 800-1200 yuan; don’t skimp on quality.
