What is the tire size of the Lamando?
2 Answers
The tire size of the Lamando is 225/45R18. The first number, 225, represents the tire width of 225MM. The 45 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 45%, meaning the section height is 45% of the width. The 18 represents the rim diameter of 18 inches, and the letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. The Lamando is equipped with a set of 18-inch Phantom Blade alloy wheels in a black and silver color scheme. The tires used are Dunlop SP-SPORT-MAXX-050, and the spare tire is a non-full-size specification. 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 where the tire needs to be replaced, ensuring the jack contacts the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car. The jack should be positioned under the vehicle, and check to ensure it is at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hubcap and loosen the nuts counterclockwise. Do not completely unscrew the nuts—just enough to eliminate resistance. Keeping the tire on the ground when loosening the nuts for the first time ensures that the nuts turn, not the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose. Repeat this step for all lug nuts and then remove them completely; Place the new tire on the wheel hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts. 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, the following common data is also marked on the tire: 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 from A to Z represent certified speed ratings ranging 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."
When I drove the Lamando before, it was a 2019 automatic transmission model, and the most common tire size was 205/55 R16. This size is quite standard among joint-venture cars and provides a comfortable ride. I remember thinking the tire size was just right when I first bought it—perfect for commuting to work with no issues, and fuel consumption wasn’t high, averaging around 8 liters per 100 km in the city. If the tread were wider, like upgrading to 17-inch rims, the visual appeal would be cooler, but the road bumps would feel more noticeable. A friend of mine made the switch and said long drives made his back ache more. Tire size directly affects braking performance and wet-road grip. I always check the tire pressure during maintenance, keeping it at the factory parameters to avoid modification risks. In the used car market now, replacing this size is cheap—around 400-500 RMB per tire for a regular brand, which is quite economical. I’d advise owners to pay attention to tire wear and not sacrifice safety for style.
