What is the tire size of the Santana?
2 Answers
The Santana is equipped with different tires depending on the configuration. The new Santana 1.6L automatic luxury version uses Hankook OPTIMOK415 tires with a tire specification of 185/60R15, while the spare tire is a non-full-size tire with a specification of 175/70R14. Below is a detailed introduction to car tires: 1. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. They are usually installed on metal rims, supporting the vehicle body, cushioning external impacts, ensuring contact with the road surface, and maintaining the vehicle's driving performance. 2. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing, traction, and cushioning performance. 3. They are required to have high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation. Half of the world's rubber consumption is used for tire production, highlighting the significant demand for rubber in tires. 4. When purchasing new tires, ensure that the size, load range, speed rating, and construction type match those of the original tires.
The tire size for the Santana is typically 195/65 R15, which is the standard specification for the new Volkswagen Santana, like my car. I've been driving it for almost a year now, and it feels very stable during daily city commutes. In the size, 195 represents the tire width, 65 is the aspect ratio, and R15 is the rim diameter. After switching to these standard tires, the fuel consumption isn't high, averaging around 7 liters per 100 km. If you notice unstable tire pressure or rapid wear, it might be necessary to check the suspension system or alignment angles. Regular maintenance helps prevent skidding. When replacing tires, just choose the original factory specifications—they cost around 400-600 RMB per tire. Avoid buying cheap counterfeit products. Premium brands like Michelin or Continental are more durable and can last up to 50,000 km without issues. Maintaining proper tire pressure ensures a more worry-free driving experience.
