What is the tire size of the Changan CS85?
2 Answers
The tire size of the Changan CS85 is 225/55R19 and 225/60R18. Tires are one of the essential components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface. Together with the car's suspension, they help cushion the impacts encountered during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance. They also ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road, enhancing the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities. The Changan CS85 is a model launched by Changan Passenger Vehicle. In terms of exterior design, this car features Changan's butterfly-wing family front grille design, with the front air intake grille incorporating more complex design elements. It is paired with sharp headlights on both sides, giving it a very stylish appearance. Additionally, the slightly shovel-shaped front bumper design at the lower part of the front adds a sporty feel.
I've been driving the Changan CS85 for a while now, and the standard tire size is 225/55 R19. The 225 indicates a tire width of 225 millimeters, the 55 is the aspect ratio meaning the height is 55% of the width, and the 19 refers to the 19-inch wheel diameter. The size is well chosen—the SUV drives steadily with good grip when cornering, reducing the risk of skidding. I usually check the tire pressure regularly, keeping it between 2.2-2.5 bar. If the pressure is too high, fuel consumption increases; if it's too low, tire wear accelerates. During maintenance, I always have the technician inspect the tire wear. Uneven wear may indicate suspension issues. Tires typically last 50,000-60,000 kilometers, and it's best to stick to the original specifications when replacing them. Avoid arbitrarily switching to larger sizes, as this can affect handling and increase fuel consumption. For winter, I recommend using snow tires of the same size—safety comes first.
