What is the tire specification of the Dongfeng Nissan Tiida?
3 Answers
Dongfeng Nissan Tiida has two tire specifications: one is 205/50R17, and the other is 195/60R16. The tire specifications are marked on the side of the tire, and different configurations of the same model may have different tire specifications. The tire specification 205/50R17 indicates that the tire width is 205 millimeters, the aspect ratio is 50, 'R' stands for radial tire, and 17 means it can be mounted on a 17-inch rim. The Dongfeng Nissan Tiida is a car produced by Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company. Although it is 190 millimeters shorter than the Nissan Latio, this seems to add more agility to the car. Additionally, the engine features technologies such as variable valve timing and double overhead camshafts, with an all-aluminum inline four-cylinder layout, all of which give this car an extraordinary power performance.
I commuted with a Tiida for three years, and the most common tire specification for this car is 195/60 R16. The 195 refers to the tire width in millimeters, 60 represents the aspect ratio (sidewall height), and R16 indicates 16-inch radial tires. Higher trim models use wider 205/50 R17 tires, while base models come with smaller 185/65 R15 wheels. When replacing tires, I noticed the manufacturer recommends a tire pressure of 2.3 bar, which should be slightly increased in winter. If road noise suddenly increases, it might indicate uneven wear, so I suggest getting a wheel alignment every 20,000 km. For routine maintenance, ensure the tread depth doesn't fall below 1.6 mm, especially before the rainy season, as wet-surface braking distance is directly linked to safety.
I've been driving my Tiida to take the kids to school for five years, and mine has 16-inch 195 tires. Don't think choosing tires is just about size—there's a lot to consider: a higher aspect ratio like 60 gives a more comfortable ride but weaker cornering support. Last time I changed tires, the mechanic said 205-width 17-inch wheels offer better grip but increase fuel consumption by about half a liter. If you often drive on highways, it's advisable to use tires with rim protectors to avoid damaging the wheels when scraping against curbs. Also, tires may vary between different batches of the same vehicle model, so checking the label on the driver's side door frame is the most accurate. Remember to measure tire pressure when the tires are cold—thermal expansion and contraction can cause significant errors.
