The tire specification model of the Roewe 550 is 215/55R16. The first number 215 represents the tire width of 215MM, 55 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width, and 16 represents the rim diameter of 16 inches. The letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. The brand of the Roewe 550 tires is Maxxis MA-651, featuring a five-spoke aluminum alloy wheel, with a full-size spare tire. If you want to replace the tires yourself, you can follow the steps below: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the frame of the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack contacts the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, the jack should be positioned under the vehicle, check and ensure the jack is perpendicular to the ground; Remove the hub cap, loosen the nuts counterclockwise, do not completely loosen them, just enough to eliminate resistance. When loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures the nuts turn instead of the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose, repeat this step for all lug nuts, then completely remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the wheel hub, carefully align the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, hand-tighten the nuts until all are concealed, at this point the tire replacement is complete. In addition to the model, the tire also has the following common data marked: Tire cord material: represented by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry the specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire, for practical use, such as "Standard rim 5.00F".
I just got a Roewe 550, and the tire specification is usually 205/55 R16. This is a standard size, indicating a tire width of 205 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 55%, and a rim diameter of 16 inches. This specification provides a smooth ride, making daily commutes fuel-efficient and comfortable. If the tread wears down, make sure to inspect and replace the tires promptly. Last time, I replaced them with the same model of Michelin tires, and the comfort level improved immediately. Remember to check the tire pressure monthly and keep it around the recommended value, as failing to do so can be dangerous, especially at high speeds, leading to blowouts. When parking, avoid sharp objects to extend the tire life by two to three years. Regular wheel balancing is also important to prevent uneven wear and vibration issues.
After repairing cars for so many years, the most common tire size I've encountered on the Roewe 550 is 205/55 R16. Car owners should check the sidewall markings themselves, not just the brand, as wrong models can't be installed. It's recommended to choose the original factory specifications when replacing tires, or compatible sizes like 215/50 R16, but the speedometer needs adjustment to avoid affecting the speed sensor. Check the tire tread depth; if it's below 1.6mm, it's time to replace them. I've seen severe wear leading to side-slip accidents in the rain. Don't skimp on new tires; better brands like Goodyear or Bridgestone offer durability and noise reduction. Wheel balancing is essential for smoother driving.
