What kind of tires does the Buick Excelle use?
2 Answers
The original tires for the Buick Excelle are Goodyear tires, with the model number 205/60R16. Tires are one of the most important components of a car, and their main functions include: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle, bearing the car's load, and transmitting forces and moments in other directions; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, thereby improving the car's power, braking, and passability; working together with the car's suspension to cushion the impact during driving and dampen the resulting vibrations; 3. Preventing severe vibrations and early damage to car components, adapting to the vehicle's high-speed performance and reducing driving noise, ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency.
I previously owned a Buick Excelle for over three years. The original tires were mostly Goodyear, and I remember the size was 205/55R16, though it depends on the model year and trim level—some top trims might use Michelin or Bridgestone. Tire selection affects overall vehicle performance, and Buick balances cost and durability with these brands. Goodyear tires are more wear-resistant, making them worry-free for city driving, while Michelin offers higher comfort but shorter lifespan. I always paid special attention to tire pressure, keeping it around 2.4 bar to avoid rapid wear. When replacing tires, don’t cut corners—visit a reputable shop to check the rims; it usually costs around 800–1,000 RMB. If you frequently drive long distances, opt for tires with good water drainage for safer rainy-day driving.
