What tires are used for the Volkswagen Santana?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Santana uses tires with the specification 185/60r15. The functions of the tires are: 1. Transmitting driving force, braking force, and steering force through the tires to achieve vehicle operation; 2. Supporting vehicle load; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impact forces during driving to avoid severe vibrations damaging vehicle components. Taking the 2010 Volkswagen Santana as an example, it is a mid-size car with body dimensions of length 4687mm, width 1700mm, height 1450mm, a wheelbase of 2656mm, a minimum ground clearance of 115mm, and a body weight of 1210kg.
I've been driving my old Santana for Didi for three years and have replaced four or five sets of tires. The original Hankook Kinergy EX tires were quite durable, lasting 60,000 kilometers before replacement. If you frequently drive on highways, I recommend upgrading to Michelin Energy XM2, which has significantly less tire noise. When choosing tires, don't just look at the brand; remember to check the numbers on the tire sidewall, such as 185/60R15. The letter 'H' indicates a maximum speed of 210 km/h, which is sufficient. In cities with heavy rainfall, be sure to choose tires with good wet grip. The Chaoyang SU318 I last replaced offered good value for money, with better wet braking performance than Hankook.
