What is the tire size of the Arrizo GX?
3 Answers
The tire model of the Arrizo GX is 205/55R16. The first number 205 indicates the tire width is 205MM, 55 represents the aspect ratio of the tire section is 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width, and 16 denotes the rim diameter is 16 inches. The letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. The Arrizo GX tires are equipped with the Maxxis brand, and the spare tire is a non-full-size one. If you want to replace the tire yourself, you can follow these steps: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the frame of the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack touches the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, the jack should be positioned under the vehicle, check and ensure the jack is at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hubcap, loosen the nuts counterclockwise, do not fully loosen the nuts, just enough to eliminate resistance, when loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures that the nuts turn instead of the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose, repeat this step for all lug nuts, completely remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully align the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, hand-tighten the nuts until all nuts are concealed, at this point the tire replacement is completed. In addition to the model, the tire also has the following common data marked: Tire cord material: Indicated 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 the tire from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common 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.
I've just researched the tire size of the Arrizo GX. The standard model comes with 205/55 R16 tires. In these numbers, 205 refers to the tire width in millimeters, 55 indicates the aspect ratio (the tire height is 55% of the width), and R16 represents a 16-inch rim diameter. This size is designed for balanced performance, providing comfortable and fuel-efficient urban driving while maintaining stability at high speeds. I recall the recommended tire pressure is between 2.3 to 2.5 bar - too low pressure accelerates wear, while too high reduces cushioning comfort. During routine maintenance, check the tread depth; replace tires when it's below 1.6mm. The factory usually equips Linglong or Giti tires, but you can upgrade to Michelin for better grip. Never modify the tire size arbitrarily as it may affect ABS and safety systems, potentially causing accidents. Developing a habit of checking tire pressure and inspecting sidewall cracks every three months can significantly extend tire lifespan.
I've been using the Arrizo GX for almost two years now, with standard 205/55 R16 tires. The ride feels smooth with minimal bumps on city roads and low tire noise. After getting a nail puncture repaired recently, the mechanic emphasized that when replacing tires, I must strictly match the original size to avoid interfering with the odometer and handling. I replaced a set with Hankook tires of the same specifications, which were slightly more expensive than the original but more durable. Maintenance records show checking wear every 20,000 kilometers, with front tires possibly wearing out faster. I recommend that beginners driving this car pay attention to tire pressure, as it can fluctuate easily during hot summers. Also, regularly check the tread depth—don’t wait until it’s bald to notice. A cost-saving tip is to buy a pressure gauge and check it yourself—safe and reliable.
