What is the tire size of the classic Sylphy?
2 Answers
The tire size of the classic Sylphy is 185/65R15. Tires are round, elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery for rolling contact with the ground. They are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing, traction, and cushioning performance. The classic Sylphy is a compact car with dimensions of 4631mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1503mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 122PS, a maximum torque of 155Nm, and a maximum power of 90kW.
I've been driving the classic Sylphy for over two years now. The original tire size is 195/60R16, which is quite common. It feels sufficient for city driving, offering quiet comfort and good fuel efficiency. I've changed the tires once, and the mechanic explained that despite the seemingly complex numbers, 195 represents the tire width in millimeters, 60 indicates the aspect ratio, and the 16-inch rim size is suitable for most road conditions. It's recommended to check for wear every 50,000 kilometers. If the tread is too worn, it's time for new tires, otherwise braking in rainy conditions can be dangerously ineffective. For daily maintenance, pay attention to tire pressure—too low or too high can affect driving. I find it convenient to check tire pressure using a mobile app.
