The tire size for the Golf 7 model is 205/55R16, with the same size for both front and rear tires. However, the 2019 280TSI manual RLine model (National VI) has slightly larger tires, with both front and rear tires being 225/45R17. This size is exclusive to the top-tier model, making the wheel arches fuller and more aesthetically pleasing. The top-tier Golf 7 1.4T flagship model is equipped with a high-power version of the engine, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, approaching the power level of the EA888 series 1.8T engine. The transmission system is paired with a 5-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been driving a Golf 7 for five or six years now. The tire size is usually 195/65 R15, which represents a width of 195 millimeters and an aspect ratio of 65, with a 15-inch rim. This may vary depending on the year and configuration, for example, GTI or higher trim models may use 205/55 R16. Choosing the right size is crucial—too wide and it might rub against the wheel arch, affecting fuel consumption and handling. When changing tires, remember to check the label on the door frame or the owner's manual to confirm the factory specifications, and don't casually upgrade or downgrade. For daily driving, it's also important to maintain the recommended tire pressure, around 2.3 bar, to extend tire life and improve cornering stability. The Golf 7 offers a wide range of tire options, with brands like Michelin or Bridgestone being great choices, but matching the correct size is the top priority.

When repairing cars, we often deal with tire issues on the Golf 7. The standard sizes are mostly 195/65 R15 or 205/55 R16, depending on the model version. The composition of the size is simple: 195 is the section width in millimeters, 65 represents the aspect ratio, R stands for radial construction, and 15 or 16 is the wheel diameter in inches. Incorrect sizing may cause ABS or electronic stability system errors, posing significant safety risks. It is recommended to use a tire pressure gauge during each maintenance check to avoid uneven wear or air leakage. The original tire label for the Golf 7 is located on the driver's door pillar, making it easy to identify. When selecting new tires, don't skimp on small costs—only the correct size can ensure braking distance and noise control. Regular wheel alignment can also prevent uneven wear.

The Golf 7 drives quite smoothly, with tire sizes typically being 195/65 R15, or some models come with 16-inch 205/55 R16. Those numbers indicate the width and aspect ratio; it's best to match the original factory specifications when choosing tires to avoid discomfort from bumps or increased fuel consumption. Checking the label is simple: the specifications are written on the small plate on the door frame. When driving, don't let the tire pressure get too low—stick to the standard value, and check more often before hitting the highway. Aging tires are prone to blowouts, so replacing them every three to four years is the way to go.

What is the function of the braking ABS system?

The functions of the braking ABS system are: 1. Automatically controlling and adjusting the wheels; 2. Preventing the vehicle from experiencing braking deviation, spinning, or fishtailing during emergency braking, which could result in loss of directional control. The working principle of the braking ABS system is: 1. Determining the wheel lock-up state based on the speed signals from the wheel speed sensors; 2. Closing the input solenoid valve on the wheel that begins to lock up to maintain the braking force; 3. Opening the output solenoid valve when the wheel is locked up for an extended period, causing the braking pressure on the wheel to rapidly decrease through the pipeline connected to the brake fluid reservoir, preventing the braking force from completely locking up the wheel.

Can a car be equipped with a roof rack?

Roof racks can be installed, but it depends on the situation. In my opinion, installing a roof rack can be divided into two scenarios. One is when the vehicle comes with a roof rack from the factory, and additional racks are installed as needed later. The other is when the vehicle does not come with a roof rack from the factory, and it needs to be installed afterward. According to the "Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Regulations" (GA801-2019): Installing a roof rack without changing the vehicle's length, width, or main body structure and ensuring safety does not require registration or modification of the vehicle license. Additionally, the installed rack must not affect the vehicle's length and width, and the height of the rack must not exceed 300mm. Article 54 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states that the load carried by a motor vehicle must not exceed the approved load capacity specified on the vehicle license, and the length and width of the load must not exceed the dimensions of the vehicle body. The following regulations must also be observed: Passenger vehicles are not allowed to carry cargo except for the external roof rack and built-in luggage compartment. When carrying cargo on the roof rack of a passenger vehicle, the height from the roof must not exceed 0.5 meters, and the height from the ground must not exceed 4 meters.
