The tire size model of Langdong is 205/55R16. In 205/55R16, the first number 205 represents the tire width of 205MM, 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 Langdong uses Nexen tires, and the spare tire is non-full size.

If you want to replace the tire by 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 touches the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, the jack should be under the vehicle, check and ensure the jack is at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hubcap, loosen the nuts counterclockwise, do not completely loosen the nuts, just enough to eliminate resistance. When loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures that the nuts turn instead of 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 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 completed. 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 the certified speed ratings of the tire 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".

When I first got my Elantra, I was particularly concerned about its tire size because I love that stable driving feel. The standard tire specification is usually 205/55 R16, where 205 represents the width, 55 is the aspect ratio, and R16 refers to the wheel diameter. This combination balances handling and smoothness, making city driving very stable. After switching to the same size, I noticed significant fuel savings and reduced bump noise. If you frequently drive on highways, I recommend regularly checking the tire pressure and maintaining it around 2.5 bar to extend tire life. I've tried different brands, and the original Hankook tires are quite durable and reasonably priced. In short, always check the vehicle manual first to confirm details, as some versions may have differences that affect safety—after all, tires are crucial for braking distance and stability. During regular maintenance, remember to ask the technician to check the wear level to prevent small issues from becoming big ones.
