What tires are used on the BAIC Huansu S3?

[StRonan]

The BAIC Huansu S3 uses Chaoyang tires. Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery for ground rolling, usually mounted on metal rims. They feature high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, cushioning performance, high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation. Taking the 2018 BAIC Huansu S3 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4380mm, width 1730mm, height 1760mm. The 2018 BAIC Huansu S3 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 83kW and a maximum torque of 150Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

I've been driving this car for over three years. The original tire specification for the BAIC Huansu S3 was 205/65 R16. When I first picked up the car, I specifically checked and saw it was equipped with Linglong CrossWind HP010, a domestic brand known for being economical and practical. These tires focus on wear resistance and handle rural dirt roads quite well, though they can be a bit noisy on highways. Later, when I replaced the tires, I also tried Sailun SU58, which offered better grip than the original ones. A reminder to everyone: when changing tires, always pay close attention to the size parameters. Make sure the load index is not lower than 98, and keep the tire pressure between 2.3-2.5 for optimal performance. Tires are like shoes—if the size isn't right, the whole car feels off. I've seen people try to save money by using the wrong specifications, only to end up with higher fuel consumption and uneven tire wear.

Over a decade of repairing cars, I've seen hundreds of Huansu S3 models, mostly equipped with factory-standard 205/65 R16 tires. The Linglong brand is the most common, especially the GREEN-Max HP series. This specification emphasizes durability and off-road capability, with thick enough sidewalls to handle rough construction site roads. But pay attention to checking the tread wear indicators - many owners don't notice until the tires are completely bald. When replacing tires, don't just look at the price; the load index should be at least 98 to support this vehicle's weight. Two months ago, an owner opted for cheaper low-load tires and ended up with bulging rear tires after a long trip. It's recommended to check tire pressure quarterly, and don't forget to inspect the spare tire either.

After studying the configuration sheet of the Huansu S3, it comes standard with 205/65 R16 tires paired with 16-inch steel wheels. The factory often equips them with economical tires like Linglong CrossWind or HP010, priced around 300 yuan each. This size is a versatile choice, balancing comfort and light off-road capability. The downside is average water drainage in rainy conditions, so users in northern regions are advised to switch to winter tires during the colder months. I've noticed many used cars still running on tires over five years old, even though the rubber has long since degraded. It's recommended to check for cracks before each summer and replace immediately if sidewall bulges are found. The tire production date is indicated by the last four digits of the DOT number on the tire sidewall—avoid purchasing new tires that have been in stock for over two years.

My Huansu S3 has been used for four years, and the original Linglong tires ran for 50,000 kilometers before replacement. The specification 205/65 R16 is key—the mechanic said this size balances fuel consumption and grip. Now, switching to the Warrior WA09 feels softer, making speed bumps less jarring. Don’t underestimate tires; they directly affect braking distance. Recently, I almost rear-ended someone in the rain and realized the tread was worn. It’s recommended to visually check tire wear monthly—if inserting a coin into the tread exposes the national emblem, it’s time to replace them. Also, regularly check the spare tire’s pressure; once, when I had a flat and took out the spare, I found it had long been deflated.

Having modified the tires on three Huansu S3s, I can say the original 205/65 R16 Linglong tires are indeed fuel-efficient but offer mediocre handling. I tried wider 215/60 R16 tires which improved cornering stability at the cost of a 0.8L/100km fuel consumption increase. Later I found the most practical solution is sticking to original size but upgrading to silent tires like Michelin Primacy series. When changing tires, pay attention to speed ratings - H rating is adequate but V rating offers better safety. Special reminder for modders: If you upgrade to larger rims with low-profile tires, slow down for potholes - I've cracked two tires this way. Remember tires actually have a 5-year lifespan, so don't trust those discounted old-stock tires.
