The Wuling Zhiguang has two tire size models: 165/70R13 and 155R13LT. The first number 165 indicates the tire width is 165MM, 70 represents the aspect ratio of the tire section is 70%, meaning the section height is 70% of the width. The letter R stands for radial tire, and 13 indicates the rim diameter is 13 inches. The Wuling Zhiguang has a top speed of 100km/h and a fuel consumption of 6.3L 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 specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of tires 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: Indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire for practical use, such as "Standard rim 5.00F".
As a veteran driver with ten years of experience behind the wheel of a Wuling Zhiguang, I know that this model comes standard with 165/70 R13 tires, which are the most common type. When I first bought the car, I noticed how well-suited it was for cargo transport—the tire size was just right, offering both cost-efficiency and durability. But don’t think this is set in stone; if you frequently drive on mountain roads or carry heavy loads, upgrading to 175/70 R13 can significantly improve stability—I’ve tried it, and the difference is noticeable. By the way, when choosing tires, don’t just focus on the numbers—pay attention to the brand and quality too. Regularly checking tire pressure and wear is crucial, as neglecting this can easily lead to blowouts and accidents. My advice? Listen to your mechanic’s recommendations—sticking to the factory settings is the most hassle-free option, and avoid modifications unless absolutely necessary.
