What tires does the Geely New Emgrand use?
3 Answers
Geely New Emgrand uses tubeless tires, which are pneumatic tires without inner tubes, also known as low-pressure tires or pneumatic tires. Tubeless tires have high elasticity and wear resistance, as well as good adhesion and heat dissipation performance. The advantages of tubeless tires include: wear resistance, reduced weight, lower fuel consumption, slow air leakage, good heat dissipation, and long service life. The Geely New Emgrand adopts a family-style design and offers two displacement options (1.3T and 1.5L), including 12 configuration models (including the sedan version New Emgrand and the hatchback version RS). In terms of body size, the Geely New Emgrand has a length, width, and height of 4631mm, 1789mm, and 1470mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2650mm.
I helped a relative pick up a 2023 Geely Emgrand, which came with Linglong GREEN-Max HP series tires in size 205/50 R17. Many consider this brand an economical option, but they're quite durable in use, with road noise being within acceptable limits. If you notice a different tire brand when you first get the car, don't worry—different batches might come with Giti or Maxxis tires. Recently, some in car owner groups mentioned seeing Goodyear Assurance on higher trim levels. For this class of family sedans, tire selection prioritizes wear resistance and fuel efficiency, typically requiring no major concerns until around 40,000 kilometers.
Last week, I went to the 4S shop for maintenance of my Emgrand and specifically checked out the tires on the new cars in the display area. The mainstream configurations now mostly come with 205 tire width paired with 16 or 17-inch rims. The base models usually feature GitiComfort 228 series tires, focusing on quietness and fuel efficiency. The salesperson mentioned that higher trims upgrade to Maxxis MS360, which offers better wet grip. For regular city commuting, the factory tires are more than sufficient. However, if you frequently drive on highways, it's advisable to switch to brands like Goodyear after three or four years, as it can significantly reduce braking distance.
