What is the tire size of the Refine S3?

[KendraFitz]

Refine S3 front and rear tire specifications are 205/55-R16. The following is a related introduction about tires: 1. Tires are one of the important components of a car, directly in contact with the road surface. Together with the car suspension, they mitigate the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness, as well as excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface. 2. Types of tires include: International standard tire codes, expressed in millimeters for section width and aspect ratio percentage. Followed by: tire type code, rim diameter (in inches), load index (permissible load mass code), permissible speed rating. R indicates that the tire is a radial tire; 16 refers to the rim diameter of 16 inches; 99 refers to the load index (i.e., load capacity of 775kg); H indicates the permissible speed rating (i.e., maximum speed of 210km/h).

As a long-time owner, my three-year-old JAC Refine S3 is equipped with 205/55 R16 tires, and the 16-inch wheels are quite common. Last time I changed tires, the mechanic said this size balances comfort and fuel efficiency, with recommended tire pressure maintained at 2.3 bar. It's advised to rotate the tires every 20,000 kilometers to prevent uneven wear. Actually, detailed parameters are engraved on the tire sidewall—it's best to take photos and keep the original factory data when replacing tires to avoid incorrect sizing by modification shops, which could affect fuel consumption. When driving in the rain, pay attention to the drainage performance of tires in this size, and consider replacing them early if wear exceeds half.

After more than ten years of car repair experience, I found that the base model Ruifeng S3 uses 195/65 R15 tires, while the high-end model uses 205/55 R16, with a 10mm difference in tire width. When replacing tires, it's essential to check the rim's J-value compatibility—15-inch rims cannot accommodate 16-inch tires. Some owners who upgrade to 215-width tires may experience heavier steering, whereas sticking to the factory specifications is the most hassle-free. The spare tire compartment only has enough space for a full-size tire, and repaired tires used as spares should have their pressure checked. Remember, a speedometer deviation exceeding 3 km/h between different tire specifications is unsafe.

After researching the tire size of the JAC Refine S3, the mainstream specification is 205/55 R16, with a section width of 205 mm and an aspect ratio of 55%. The advantage of this size lies in its quick handling response and reduced body roll during cornering. Compared to other SUVs, it is narrower than the H6's 225 tires but wider than the CS35's 195 tires. When modifying, it's important to keep the tire diameter error within 3% to prevent ABS misjudgment. For winter tires, simply choose the same specification with a snowflake symbol.
