What is the tire size of the Bora car?
2 Answers
Bora cars are equipped with 15, 16, and 17-inch tires depending on the model. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working together with the car suspension to mitigate the impact experienced during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving, as well as maintaining excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface. They also improve the car's traction, braking, and off-road capability. Taking the 2021 Bora as an example, its body dimensions are 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm, a minimum ground clearance of 126mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. This model is powered by a 1.2T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 85.2kW and a maximum torque of 200Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
As a long-time owner of a Volkswagen Bora, I think tire size is quite important. The VW Bora typically uses 15-inch or 16-inch tires, depending on the model year and configuration. For example, my 2018 Bora Classic Edition came with 195/65 R15 tires, meaning the rim diameter is 15 inches. Tire size affects handling, fuel consumption, and safety—never randomly change the size when replacing tires, as it can accelerate wear and damage the stability system. New cars have the original specifications listed on the door frame label, while older models require checking the manual or VIN code. Also, remember to check tire pressure regularly—higher pressure in summer saves fuel but don’t exceed limits, while slightly lower pressure in winter improves safety. During maintenance, ask the mechanic to check tire balance and wear to extend their lifespan. If buying a used Bora, be cautious if the tire sizes don’t match—it might indicate accident-related replacements.
