What is the tire size of the Refine S3?
2 Answers
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.
