What is the tire specification for the Corolla?
2 Answers
The tire specification for the Corolla is 195/60R15. Tires are circular elastic rubber products installed on various vehicles or machinery, rolling on the ground. They are mounted on metal rims to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, ensure contact with the road surface, and guarantee the vehicle's driving performance. Taking the 2013 Corolla as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4555mm, width 1705mm, height 1490mm, with a wheelbase of 2600mm. The 2013 Corolla is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 88kW and a maximum torque of 152Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I often interact with many Corolla owners and notice common tire specifications like 195/65R15, which means the tire width is 195 millimeters, the aspect ratio is 65% (i.e., the tire height is 65% of the width), 'R' stands for radial construction, and the wheel size is 15 inches. This design is optimized for the Corolla's weight and power to ensure comfort and fuel efficiency. Choosing the wrong specification can affect handling and even increase braking distance, especially in rainy conditions, making it more dangerous. Corolla models may vary; for example, the older 2005 model might use 185/70R14, while the newer 2020 model upgrades to 205/55R16. Therefore, the most reliable way is to check the label on your car's door frame or the owner's manual. Regularly inspect tire wear during maintenance to avoid overuse.
