What is the tire specification of the Santana?
2 Answers
The tire specification of the Santana is 185/60R15. The Santana is a 4-door, 5-seater compact car under SAIC Volkswagen. Taking the 2021 Santana as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4475mm, width 1706mm, height 1469mm, wheelbase 2603mm, trunk capacity 466L, and curb weight 1120kg. The 2021 Santana is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 112PS and a maximum power of 82kW. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a compound torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
I've been driving a Santana for several years, and the tire size is usually 195/65 R15. This size provides good stability, a smooth ride, and decent grip when cornering. I remember the technician reminded me during the last tire change to match the original factory specifications, otherwise it could affect fuel efficiency and safety. Choosing tires also depends on tread patterns and brands. If the tire pressure is insufficient or the tread is severely worn, it should be addressed promptly. Before every long trip, I check the tire pressure to ensure it's within the proper range—small details like this help the car run longer. A friend of mine once switched to a different tire size, and his fuel consumption increased, which wasn't worth it. In short, with the right tires for the Santana, daily driving becomes much more worry-free.
