What tires does the Baojun 510 use?

[StephenFitz]

Baojun 510 is equipped with 205/60r16 tires. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery for rolling contact with the ground, typically installed on metal rims. The Baojun 510 is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4220mm in length, 1740mm in width, and 1615mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2550mm. It is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 73 kW and a maximum torque of 135 Nm. The drive system is front-wheel drive, with MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear.

My Baojun 510 originally came with 215/60 R17 tires, which the mechanic specifically pointed out to me during the last maintenance. The tire brands vary depending on the model year and trim level. For example, my car uses GitiComfort series by Giti, while some owners mentioned that lower trims may come with Linglong CrossWind or Kumho Solus. Tires for this type of urban SUV are quite particular—the 60 aspect ratio on the sidewall helps absorb bumps while reducing the risk of bulging. If you frequently drive on rough roads, it’s advisable to switch to all-terrain (AT) tires for better durability, though fuel consumption may increase by around 0.5 liters. Don’t forget to get a wheel balance when changing tires—last time I skipped it, and the steering wheel shook badly at high speeds.

My friend just bought a used Baojun 510 and asked me to check the tires. I found they are Linglong L788 tread pattern, size 215/60R17. The repair shop owner said this size is quite common, and the original factory might use Giti/Kumho/Linglong depending on the batch, with prices around 300-400 RMB per tire. The 60 aspect ratio is quite suitable for driving on bumpy roads in urban-rural fringe areas, and the noise control is decent. If driving on snow in winter, it's recommended to switch to winter tires as the original tread pattern doesn't provide enough grip on ice and snow. Remember to maintain tire pressure at 2.3-2.5, as insufficient pressure significantly increases the risk of blowouts.

Last time when helping my cousin change the tires on his Baojun 510, I noticed the sidewall was marked with 215/60 R17 96H specifications. The factory usually uses Giti 228V1 or Kumho HS61, with a single tire costing around 350 yuan. These 60 aspect ratio tires are particularly suitable for driving on national highways, as they are less prone to bulging when running over gravel. The tire lifespan is about 60,000 kilometers before replacement is needed. The right front tire of my cousin's car showed severe uneven wear, indicating poor wheel alignment. When changing tires, it's best to replace all four together. If only replacing two, it's safer to put the new tires on the rear wheels.

Last month, I just fitted a new set of tires for my Baojun 510. The factory-equipped 215/60R17 size is quite practical, with this aspect ratio balancing comfort and support. Different trim levels come with varying tire brands from the factory—for example, the Elite trim often gets Giti tires, while the Comfort trim may come with Linglong CrossWind. Real-world testing shows decent noise control, and wet weather drainage outperforms some aftermarket tires priced around 300 yuan. Recommended cold tire pressure is 2.4 bar, with wear limit indicators marked by triangular arrows on the sidewall. In regions with sub-zero winters, switching to snow tires is advised as the factory all-season tires lack sufficient grip on ice.

The factory-equipped 215/60R17 tires on the Baojun 510 are very practical, with common brands including Giti and Linglong. When replacing tires, I found that the wheel's J-value of 5.5 can accommodate widths from 205 to 225. I tried fitting 225 tires but they rubbed against the inner fender. The original tires have a treadwear rating around 380, making them suitable for city driving up to 60,000 km. The tire pressure monitoring system alerts when pressure drops below 2.0 bar - underinflated tires significantly increase fuel consumption. Front tires wear faster, so it's recommended to rotate them every 10,000 km. Rear tires experience lighter brake wear for more even tread wear. When changing tires, check the production date - the four-digit code on the sidewall (e.g., 2523) indicates the 25th week of 2023.
