What tires are equipped on the Changan CS35?

[MacDamian]

The Changan CS35 comes with Chaoyang tires as original equipment, with the model number 215/50R17. Its greatest advantage lies not in wear resistance, but in the balanced performance of quietness, grip, and fuel efficiency, offering very high cost-effectiveness. Under normal usage conditions, the Changan CS35 tires should be replaced every 3-5 years or after 60,000-100,000 kilometers. Tires are a crucial component of a vehicle, directly affecting driving stability and safety, as they are the only part of the car that makes contact with the road. Being made of rubber, tires are subject to aging and wear over time, necessitating regular replacement. Failure to replace tires in a timely manner can compromise driving stability and safety. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8 bar is considered too high, while a pressure below 2.0 bar is too low. Risks of overinflated tires: Reduced friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; increased steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerated wear on the central tread, shortening tire lifespan; increased vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; excessive stretching of tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during operation. Risks of underinflated tires: Increased friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; heavier steering and increased tendency to deviate, compromising driving safety; excessive movement of tire parts causing abnormal heat generation; degradation of cord and rubber functionality, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; multiplied friction with the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and a drastic reduction in strength, which can lead to blowouts during high-speed driving.

The Changan CS35 I drive comes with factory-standard 195/65 R15 tires, usually from the Giti brand. I find this size quite suitable for daily commuting, with decent grip at medium speeds, but the noise becomes noticeable at high speeds, making long-distance drives a bit uncomfortable for the ears. From my observation, these tires are economical and durable, with an average lifespan of around 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers. During maintenance, I always remind myself to check the tire pressure regularly, at least once a month, to avoid uneven wear and premature replacement. When replacing tires, options like Michelin or Pirelli, though more expensive, offer much better noise control and performance on wet surfaces, enhancing driving comfort. Overall, the factory configuration isn’t high-end but is sufficient for the average car owner—just avoid cheap modifications that alter the tire size.

As an automotive enthusiast, I've studied the original tire configuration of the Changan CS35. It typically comes with 205/60 R16 specifications, often using Wanli or Giti brands. The size complements the SUV chassis design, enhancing handling agility. The speed rating H indicates a maximum speed of 190 km/h, while the load index 91 means each tire can bear up to 615 kg. This selection balances economy and practicality. During track testing, I noticed these tires have average acceleration response but maintain decent wet grip. If performance isn't a priority, upgrading to Continental or Yokohama brands with deeper tread patterns and better wear resistance is an option. When modifying, ensure the tire size matches the rim dimensions to avoid affecting suspension and steering accuracy. For long-term use, I recommend rotating the tires every six months to extend their lifespan.

The 195/65 R15 tires commonly used on the several Changan CS35 models I've serviced are quite prevalent, with brands like Giti being the main choice. Tire pressure checks are crucial, otherwise, sidewall wear can accelerate rapidly. For replacements, I recommend domestic brands like Double Coin or Warrior, priced around 300 yuan per tire—avoid retreaded products. I've also encountered significant tire noise issues, primarily due to simplistic tread patterns. Regularly cleaning debris from the tire surface can help somewhat. When the tires reach a lifespan of 50,000 kilometers, it's time to consider replacement. If the wear indicator groove depth is below 1.6mm, replace them immediately—don't risk a blowout by pushing their limits.
