What tire model does the Baojun 730 use?
3 Answers
The Baojun 730 uses two types of tire models: 205/55-R16 and 195/55-R16. One of the original tires is a Giti tire, and the other is a Continental tire. Different types of vehicles use different tire models, and the reason for different tire models is that they serve different purposes. Below is the explanation of the 205/55-R16 tire model: 1. 205 represents the tire width, which refers to the part of the tire that comes into contact with the ground. The wider the tire width, the better the stability of the vehicle during driving. 2. 55 represents the aspect ratio, which is the ratio of the height from the rim to the tread to the maximum width of the tire section. The aspect ratio is usually expressed as a percentage. 3. R refers to radial tires, which are the most widely used type of tires for family cars. Radial tires have many advantages, including good wear resistance, long service life, and high-temperature resistance. 4. 16 represents the tire size. The larger the vehicle size, the larger the tire size used. The tire model used must match the vehicle's positioning.
I remember driving my 730 for over three years now, and the original tire size is 195/65 R15. It provides a smooth ride, and the grip of these tires is reliable for a family MPV. I check the tire pressure monthly, keeping it between 2.3-2.5 bar. Too high pressure can cause excessive wear, while too low affects fuel efficiency and safety. Once, when the tire pressure was too low, the wheels squeaked, and fuel consumption increased. When replacing tires, just stick to the original size. Don’t skimp on quality brands—Continental or Linglong are good choices. Save money, but not at the expense of safety. Tire lifespan is typically around five years, depending on mileage and road conditions. If there are cracks on the sidewalls, address them immediately—don’t delay.
I've been into cars for ten years. The common tire size for the 730 is 195/65 R15, and the 15-inch wheels are quite balanced—not flashy but durable. When replacing tires, I recommend choosing low rolling resistance models to save on fuel and be more eco-friendly. My personal tests showed a 5% reduction in fuel consumption. Don't forget to rotate the tires regularly; swap the front and rear every 10,000 km to extend their lifespan and prevent uneven wear. In winter, tire pressure tends to drop when the car is cold, and it rises a bit in summer heat, so adjust it in advance. If you notice the tread is worn smooth on the road, replace them—don't wait until they're bald and cause an accident.
