The tire specification of the JAC Refine S3 is 205/55R16. Tires are one of the important components of a car, as they are in direct contact with the road surface and work together with the car's suspension to mitigate the shocks encountered during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance. They also ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface. The JAC Refine S3 is a compact SUV equipped with a 1.5L L4 engine, naturally aspirated, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116ps and a maximum torque of 150nm. The dimensions of this car are 4345mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1640mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2560mm. It is a 5-door, 5-seater SUV with a 6-speed manual transmission.
When I first drove the JAC Refine S3, the tire size was 205/55 R16, which felt quite suitable. It was stable on the highway and had low noise. However, after running 30,000 kilometers, the tread wore out, and I had to replace the tires. I chose the same original factory size to ensure compatibility and fuel efficiency. By the way, tire pressure is crucial—I maintain it at around 230 kPa when cold, as too high or too low affects handling and safety. Every six months, I personally check the wear using a coin to see if the depth exceeds the 1.6 mm critical line. I didn’t switch to winter tires, but I’d remind you that slowing down on slippery roads is more practical than changing tires. With proper maintenance, tires can last 4-5 years without issues. Recently, I heard the new S3 might have slightly adjusted tire sizes—checking the manual is more reliable.
