What tires does the original Corolla come with?
2 Answers
The original Corolla comes with Dunlop and Michelin tires for high-end configurations, and Bridgestone for low-end configurations. The tire specifications include 195/65R15, 225/45R17, and 205/55R16. Among them, Bridgestone's Turanza tires focus on providing a comfortable driving experience, incorporating multiple Bridgestone leading technologies such as NanoPro-Tech tread compound, uniform shoulder design, and noise-reducing tread pattern design, offering excellent overall performance. The Corolla is equipped with a 1.8L inline-four engine (2ZR type) featuring dual VVTi technology, paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 100kw and a peak torque of 175Nm. In terms of body dimensions, the car measures 4630mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1480mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm.
I've been driving a Corolla for several years. The original tires are usually from Bridgestone or Yokohama, with specific models depending on the vehicle configuration. For example, higher trim levels might use 205/55R16 size, while base models may have 195/65R15. The tire brand isn't fixed—Toyota equips different tires based on production year and region, like energy-saving tires for ECO versions and quieter ones for comfort trims. After changing tires, I noticed the OEM ones have better balance, fuel efficiency, and anti-slip performance. But when worn, check tread depth or consider switching to brands like Michelin. Summer tires perform well in heat, but all-season ones are more practical. If you often drive on muddy roads, choose tires with stronger grip. When selecting new tires, remember to match the original size—don't arbitrarily go larger as it increases fuel consumption. Always prioritize safety and don't neglect maintenance.
