What tires does the new Santana use?
2 Answers
The new Santana utilizes two types of tires: one is 185/60r15, and the other is 175/70r14. Tire specifications are commonly represented by a set of numbers, where the first number indicates the tire section width, and the latter denotes the rim diameter in inches. The Santana series is equipped with the all-new 1.5L EA211 engine, horizontal chrome grille, classic alloy wheels, and ESP dynamic electronic stability system. In terms of body dimensions, the new Santana measures 4475mm in length, 1706mm in width, and 1469mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2603mm, making it a 4-door, 5-seater sedan.
I just bought a new Santana, equipped with Hankook Optimo K415 tires, mostly in size 195/65 R15. They are economical, provide stable driving and good fuel efficiency, and are mainly wear-resistant, suitable for city driving for three to four years without issues. It's important to regularly check the tire pressure, keeping it between 2.3-2.5 bar, to avoid uneven wear. For long-distance driving or in rainy/snowy conditions, the grip is decent, but driving slower in the rain is safer. It's recommended to check the tire pressure every two months and choose original factory-matched tires when replacing them, as they are affordable and practical.
