What is the tire size of the Jade?
2 Answers
The Jade has two tire size models: 215/50R17 and 225/45R18. The numbers 225 and 215 represent the tire's section width in millimeters (225mm and 215mm, respectively); 50 and 45 represent the tire's aspect ratio; and 17 and 18 represent the rim diameter in inches (17-inch and 18-inch, respectively). The Honda Jade is equipped with Bridgestone Potenza tires. If you want to replace the tires yourself, you can follow these steps: Retrieve 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 and loosen the nuts counterclockwise, but do not fully remove them—just enough to eliminate resistance. Keeping the tire on the ground when loosening the nuts ensures that the nuts turn rather than the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose, repeating this step for all lug nuts, then fully remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the wheel hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts, then install the lug nuts and hand-tighten them until all nuts are snug. At this point, the tire replacement is complete. In addition to 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 a tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings ranging from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160 km/h; H: 210 km/h; V: 240 km/h; W: 270 km/h; Y: 300 km/h. Rim specification: Indicates the rim size compatible with the tire, such as "Standard Rim 5.00F."
I've been driving my Jade for over three years, and the original tires are sized at 205/55 R16, which provide a smooth driving experience. This size ensures both good handling and fuel efficiency. I recommend car owners to regularly check the tire pressure, keeping it around 2.3 bar to extend tire life. If you encounter bumpy roads, remember to inspect tire wear to avoid skidding and ensure safety. When replacing tires, I suggest brands like Michelin or Bridgestone, with a budget of about 700 yuan per tire. Choosing the right size can prevent increased fuel consumption. Overall, timely maintenance makes the car more durable.
