2 Answers
Buick Excelle is equipped with 15-inch wheels across the entire lineup, with only the top trim offering alloy wheels, fitted with Maxxis MECOTRA3 tires in the 185/65R15 specification. Here is more information about the Buick Excelle: 1. Configuration: The Excelle places great emphasis on safety features, with standard equipment including 6 airbags, a power sunroof, rear parking sensors, OnStar all-time online assistant, and in-car 4G LTE Wi-Fi. 2. Powertrain: The Excelle is powered by a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine, paired with either a manual or CVT transmission, delivering a peak torque of 133N·m at 4000rpm and a maximum power of 79kW at 6000rpm.
I've been driving my Buick Excelle for almost ten years, and the original tires are usually 195/55 R15, a pretty common size. I remember trying other sizes when I first changed tires, but it resulted in higher fuel consumption and unstable handling, so I switched back to the original size. The 195 represents a tread width of 195 millimeters, 55 is the aspect ratio, and R15 means 15-inch rims, designed to balance comfort and grip. It's fuel-efficient and quiet for daily driving, especially over speed bumps with less bumpiness. The tire lifespan is around 50,000 kilometers, and I check the tire pressure every few months, keeping it between 2.4 and 2.6 bar to extend its life. If uneven wear or sidewall bulges are noticed, replace the tires immediately—safety first. I recommend going to a 4S shop or a reliable repair shop to avoid cheap tires that might cause skidding in rainy conditions and lead to accidents.
