The Fengon ix5 is equipped with 245/45R19 specification tires. Automotive tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working together with the vehicle suspension to mitigate impacts during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance. They also ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface. The Fengon ix5 is a vehicle under the Dongfeng Fengon brand, featuring an interior design with a combination of three screens. The vehicle dimensions are 4685mm in length, 1865mm in width, and 1645mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2790mm. The Fengon ix5's center console adopts a dual touchscreen display design, and the area around the electronic gear shift is finished with black piano lacquer panels, giving it a highly premium appearance.

I've been driving the Fengguang ix5 for several years and always found the factory-fitted 215/60 R17 tires quite reliable. After all, it's an SUV, so it needs to balance comfort and safety. When I change tires myself, I opt for all-season tires like Michelin Primacy or Goodyear Assurance, which offer good wet traction and are less prone to slipping. If you frequently drive long distances and your tires wear out quickly, make sure to check the tire pressure and tread depth every six months. Otherwise, it could be a big trouble if something happens on the highway. Don’t forget to maintain the spare tire either—the original compact spare is only for emergencies and shouldn’t be used long-term. When replacing tires, go to a professional shop and ensure the size is correct, as the wrong size can affect fuel efficiency and braking performance. Safety always comes first.

I usually commute to work in my Fengguang ix5. Being young, I care more about performance and appearance. The original tires are 215/60 R17, which are quite fuel-efficient, but I think adding some budget to switch to low rolling resistance tires like Bridgestone Ecopia can save some fuel costs and respond faster. In terms of handling, the aspect ratio shouldn't be too thin; around 60 is sufficient for stable turns on city roads. From an economic perspective, buying domestic brands like Chaoyang or Linglong is also fine—they're affordable and durable, lasting two to three years without issues. Regular wheel balancing can extend tire life. Don't wait until they're completely worn out to replace them, as that can damage the suspension system and increase maintenance costs—penny-wise and pound-foolish. When the weather changes significantly, switching to all-season tires can avoid the hassle of seasonal replacements.

As the family driver who shuttles kids to school daily, the safety of Fengon ix5 cannot be taken lightly. The 215/60 R17 factory-fitted tires are sufficient – prioritize comfort and quietness to prevent kids from getting noisy in the backseat. Opt for low-noise tires like Continental or Hankook for reduced road noise and better driving experience. Safety-wise, all-season tires are essential for reliable grip in rain/snow, and maintain tire pressure above 30 PSI (I check weekly with a gauge to prevent blowouts). With kids onboard, choose tires with durable sidewalls to handle rough roads effortlessly. Keep maintenance simple – stick to OEM designs rather than modifications for maximum reliability.
