What is the tire size of the Mitsubishi ASX?
2 Answers
The Mitsubishi ASX uses two sizes of tires, one is 215/70R16, and the other is 225/55R18. The ASX is a compact SUV under Mitsubishi, with a wheelbase of 2670 mm, and its length, width, and height are 4366 mm, 1780 mm, and 1640 mm respectively. The Mitsubishi ASX is equipped with two engines, one is a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The design of the Mitsubishi ASX follows the current family-style design language of Mitsubishi, featuring a shark-like front face that looks quite aggressive, and the metal chrome trim on the grille enhances this imposing appearance.
I previously helped a friend deal with tire issues on a Mitsubishi ASX. The tire size for this car depends on the specific year and configuration. The most common size is 16-inch with a specification of 215/70 R16, which is equipped on many base models. Higher trim levels often come with 18-inch 225/55 R18 tires, featuring larger wheels for a sportier look. If your car has original tires, you can confirm the size by checking the small text on the tire sidewall. The numbers starting with 215 or 225 indicate the tread width, 70 and 55 represent the aspect ratio percentage, and the number after R is the wheel size. When replacing tires, it's recommended to stick to the original size, as changing it arbitrarily may affect the speedometer's accuracy and cause the ABS system to misjudge. By the way, I've seen cases where people ignored the load index when replacing tires, leading to premature sidewall cracking.
