What size tires does the Wuling Hongguang S use?
2 Answers
The Wuling Hongguang S uses 14-inch tires with a specification of 170/70R14. The tire size specifications are marked on the sidewall of the tire, where 170 represents a tire width of 170 millimeters, 70 indicates an aspect ratio of 70, R stands for radial tire, and 14 means it can be mounted on 14-inch rims. The Wuling Hongguang S is a crossover product independently developed by SAIC-GM-Wuling based on the Wuling Hongguang model, positioned between commercial vehicles and passenger cars. It is equipped with a variety of safety features, including dual airbags, force-limiting seat belts, rear parking sensors, rear window defrosting, child locks on the middle doors, automatic locking, remote key with electronic anti-theft system, and automatic car-finding function.
I've been driving a Wuling Hongguang S for three years, and its standard tire size is 185/65 R14, which means 185mm width, 65% aspect ratio, and 14-inch rims. This size is well-suited for light vehicles like the Hongguang, providing stability on rural roads and in the city, even with some cargo. However, remember to check the tire pressure when the car is new—usually keep it between 2.2-2.4 Bar. Don't overinflate or underinflate, as it can accelerate wear and increase fuel consumption on long trips. For long-distance driving, I make it a habit to check the tread depth monthly and replace the tires if it's less than 3mm. In winter, using more durable tires is safer. Some people consider upgrading to larger sizes like 195, which may look better but will increase fuel consumption—I recommend sticking with the original size. Brands like Chaoyang or Double Star offer good value for money, with a lifespan of around 50,000 kilometers.
