Zotye T300 uses two sizes of tires, one is 215/55R17, and the other is 205/65R16. The tire size specifications are marked on the side of the tire. It is very common for different configurations of the same model to use different sizes of tires. The body dimensions of the Zotye T300 are 4405mm in length, 1830mm in width, and 1665mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. The trunk space with the rear seats folded down reaches 823L. The Zotye T300 offers two power options: 1.5L and 1.5T. The 1.5L engine is paired with a 5MT transmission, while the 1.5T engine is matched with a CVT transmission. The maximum power of the 1.5L engine is 82kW, with a peak torque of 143Nm; the 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 106kW and a peak torque of 215Nm.
As a frequent driver of the Zotye T300, I've actually paid attention to the tire size issue. The standard configuration is usually 215/65 R16, which perfectly matches the vehicle's design—215mm in width, 65 aspect ratio, and 16-inch rims. It provides a stable ride with minimal bumpiness. I remember a friend who upgraded his tires with a random size and ended up with increased fuel consumption. So, it's best to stick to the original size and regularly check tire pressure, typically around 2.3 to 2.5 kg, to ensure safe braking in wet conditions. If you're unsure about your car's specs, check around page 50 of the user manual for detailed specifications. When replacing tires, always opt for genuine products—don’t cheap out on knockoffs.
I'm the kind of driver who checks my tires every six months, and the Zotye T300 is very convenient to use, with standard tire size being 215/65 R16. This parameter isn't hard for beginners to understand: 215 indicates the tread width of the tire, 65 is the aspect ratio (height as a percentage of width), and 16 is the wheel diameter in inches—a pretty reasonable balance between grip and comfort overall. I recommend measuring the wear on your old tires before replacing them; if the tread depth is below 1.6mm, it's time for a change. Also, take a good look at the sidewalls for cracks during regular car washes to extend tire life. Safety first, right? This size is quiet enough for city driving, but if you frequently drive on mountain roads, opting for a model with better water drainage will provide more stability.
