What is the tire specification of the Geely Boyue?
2 Answers
Geely Boyue offers two tire specifications: 225/60R18 and 225/55R19. For 225/60R18, the first number 225 indicates the tire width is 225MM, 60 represents the aspect ratio of the tire section is 60%, meaning the section height is 60% of the width, and 18 denotes the rim diameter is 18 inches. The letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. For 225/55R19, the first number 225 indicates the tire width is 225MM, 55 represents the aspect ratio of the tire section is 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width, and 19 denotes the rim diameter is 19 inches. The letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. Geely Boyue provides two styles of wheel rims, both featuring a black paint design. The Zhilian and Zhihui models adopt multi-spoke wheel rims paired with Giti series tires, while the Zhizun and Zhiling models feature a dual five-spoke wheel rim with slimmer spokes, better exposing the internal brake discs and red calipers, and are paired with Continental series tires. The spare tire is non-full size. If you want to change the tire yourself, you can follow these steps: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the frame of the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack touches 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 at a right angle to the ground. Remove the hub cover, 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 that the nuts turn rather than the tire. Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose, repeat this step for all lug nuts, and 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, and tighten them by hand until all nuts are concealed. At this point, the tire replacement is complete. In addition to the model, the tire also marks the following common data: Tire cord material: indicated 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 the 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 5.02F".
I've been driving the Geely Boyue for quite some time, and its tire specifications are typically 225/60 R18, which means a width of 225 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 60%, 18-inch rims, and the 'R' stands for radial tires. This setup ensures a high level of comfort for daily driving, effectively filtering out road bumps, especially when traveling with family for a smooth ride. I've also noticed that the tire width provides good grip, with quick braking response, though the rolling resistance is slightly higher, resulting in a combined fuel consumption of around 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers. When replacing tires, it's recommended to stick with the original factory specifications, as using other sizes can affect odometer accuracy and insurance benefits. For maintenance, I check the tire pressure monthly, keeping it around 2.3 bar—too high and it's prone to slipping, too low and it can damage the suspension. Tire lifespan is generally 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers; replace them when worn down to the wear indicators. Northern drivers in winter can opt for snow tires to enhance safety. In the long run, the specifications are well-designed, requiring little frequent attention.
