What tire model is used for the Toyota Vios?
2 Answers
Toyota Vios tire specifications are divided into the low-end 175/65R14 and the mid-to-high-end 180/60R15. These specifications are relatively common in the same class but do not offer much competitive advantage. Prices vary depending on the specifications. Relevant information about tires is as follows: When purchasing tires, always check the production date: if the production date is too old, do not buy them. Tires are rubber products and will age even if unused. During regular use, frequently check tire pressure and the surface for any damage: the tire sidewalls are relatively fragile, and if they are scratched or punctured, they cannot be repaired. It is recommended that owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage driven within those four years is minimal.
I've been driving a Toyota Vios for several years, and I remember the original tires were size 185/60 R15. This size is quite suitable for city commuting, providing a smooth and quiet ride. When choosing tires, you should consider the year and model of your car. My 2018 Vios uses this size, so if you have a new car, check the label on the door frame to confirm the exact specifications. For tire replacements, I recommend Bridgestone or Michelin, with mid-range prices between 300 to 500 yuan per tire—they offer good durability and are economical. Remember to regularly check tire pressure and wear, such as measuring tread depth every six months. If it's below 1.6 mm, it's time to replace them. Safety first—don’t skimp by choosing small brands, as they can increase braking distance in the rain. Personally, I make it a habit to get a wheel alignment every two years, which significantly extends tire life and reduces uneven wear.
