1 Answers
The Fit has two tire sizes: 185/55R16 and 185/60R15. In 185/55R16, the first number 185 represents the tire width of 185MM, 55 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire cross-section is 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width, and 16 represents the rim diameter of 16 inches. The middle letter "R" stands for radial tire. In 185/60R15, the first number 185 represents the tire width of 185MM, 60 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire cross-section is 60%, meaning the section height is 60% of the width, and 15 represents the rim diameter of 15 inches. The middle letter "R" stands for radial tire. The Fit is equipped with Dunlop's ENASAVE fuel-saving and eco-friendly series tires, which combine fuel efficiency, environmental friendliness, and wet braking performance, enhancing driving comfort and stability. If you want to replace the tires yourself, follow these steps: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the vehicle frame near the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack contacts the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, making sure the jack is positioned under the vehicle and at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hubcap, loosen the nuts counterclockwise, but do not fully remove them—just enough to eliminate resistance. Keeping the tire on the ground when first loosening the nuts ensures the nuts turn, not the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they come off, repeat this step for all lug nuts, and remove all nuts completely; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, and hand-tighten them until all nuts are snug. The tire replacement is now complete. Besides the model, tires also display the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, and ZG for steel radial cord tires. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings 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 size compatible with the tire for practical use, such as "Standard Rim 5.00F".
