What is the tire size of the Tiida?
2 Answers
The tire sizes of the Tiida are 16 inches and 17 inches, with specifications of 205/50R17 and 195/60R16. The tire specifications and sizes are indicated on the sidewall of the tire. Different configurations of the same model may have varying tire specifications and sizes. Here are the functions of car tires: 1. Support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions. 2. Transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the car's power performance, braking performance, and passability; work together with the car's suspension to mitigate impacts during driving and dampen resulting vibrations. 3. Protect car components from severe vibrations and premature damage, adapt to the vehicle's high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency.
I've been driving my Tiida for three years. My car is the 2019 Zhixing edition, with tire size 195/60 R15, meaning 15-inch wheels. That time out of curiosity before changing tires, I carefully checked the label and clearly saw the numbers written there. Driving with 15-inch wheels feels just right – not much tire noise in the city, fuel-efficient and comfortable. Some higher-end models like the Zunxiang edition might upgrade to 16-inch wheels; larger rims offer better handling but slightly higher fuel consumption. If you're buying a used car or a new model, it's best to check the manual or use your phone to photograph the tire sidewall for confirmation—don't trust online guesses. I once missed reminding a friend to check size compatibility, which caused issues during tire replacement and nearly affected braking. Now I've developed the habit of measuring wear during annual maintenance to ensure safe driving.
