What is the tire model of the Tank 300?
2 Answers
The Tank 300 comes with two tire configurations: 265/65R17 and 265/60R18. The first number, 265, indicates the tire width is 265mm. The 65 represents the aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 65% of the width. The letter R stands for radial construction, and 17 denotes the rim diameter in inches. The Tank 300 accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 9.5 seconds and has a fuel consumption of 9.7L per 100 km. Besides the model number, tires also display the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated 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 a tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160 km/h; H: 210 km/h; V: 240 km/h; W: 270 km/h; Y: 300 km/h. Rim specification: Shows the compatible rim size, e.g., standard rim 5.00F.
The standard tire model for my Tank 300 is usually 265/65 R17, with an optional 265/60 R18. After driving for almost a year, I find the 265/65 R17 tires incredibly comfortable for city use, with minimal road noise and noticeable cushioning on uneven roads. The salesperson explained at purchase that this size balances economy and handling: the 265mm width provides stable grip, the 65 aspect ratio ensures sufficient sidewall height, and the R17 wheel size is just right. For frequent mountain or off-road driving, these tires are fully capable, with practical anti-slip design. I also tried the 265/60 R18 version, which offers more agile highway steering but comes at a higher price and increased maintenance costs, making the factory-fitted tires more cost-effective. I regularly check tire pressure and wear to avoid underinflation and rapid wear, which could compromise safety. During car washes, I clean out debris from the tread grooves to extend tire life. Overall, the standard tires are a perfect match for SUVs—reliable, durable, and hassle-free for stress-free driving.
