What is the wheel size of the Happy Prince?
2 Answers
The wheel size of the Happy Prince is 145/70-R12: the tire width is 145cm, 70 represents that the tire thickness accounts for 70% of the tire width, and R12 indicates a wheel diameter of 12 inches. Functions of tires: Mainly include dry road grip, hydroplaning resistance, providing comfort, reducing driving noise, impact resistance, wet road grip, load capacity, handling performance, average wear, and mileage. Cross-sectional structure of tires: Generally can be divided into 4 parts: tread, shoulder, sidewall, and bead. Each part has its own function. The tread mainly contacts the ground, the shoulder and sidewall provide support, and the bead contacts the wheel rim to provide sealing. Internal composition of tires: The tire interior consists of multiple layers of different materials, including tread pattern, overlay, steel belt, stress absorption rubber strip, carcass ply layer, and inner liner.
Remember that Happy Prince car? I've researched that the wheel size is generally around 14 inches, depending on the year and model. For example, most models after 2005 came with 14-inch wheels, while some earlier ones used 13-inch. The wheel size affects tire selection—you need to match it with standard tires like 165/65 R14 for stability. Otherwise, you'll feel more bumps while driving, and it might even increase braking distance. I've checked many owner reports, and significant size discrepancies can accelerate suspension wear. That's why I always recommend checking wheel size accuracy during every maintenance—don't overlook this small detail to save trouble. The wheel bolt pattern is roughly 100mm × 4, so keep this in mind when changing wheels.
