What type of tires does the Dongfeng Nissan Teana use?
3 Answers
Dongfeng Nissan Teana uses 205/65R16 radial tires. Tires are essential components of a vehicle, serving the following purposes: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing its load; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. Absorbing and mitigating vibrations and impacts during driving to ensure safe and stable operation. The Dongfeng Nissan Teana is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 115kW and a peak torque of 197Nm. It features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension with trapezoidal control arms.
I'm quite familiar with the OEM tire configuration of the Teana. Generally speaking, the standard version of the Dongfeng Nissan Teana comes equipped with Dunlop's energy-saving tires, commonly in the size 215/60 R16. Having driven for many years, I've noticed that common models from the 2018 version to the 2023 new Teana use this size. The tire brand may vary by year, for example, the 2020 Teana uses Dunlop SP Sport model tires, which offer good grip and effective noise control. The high-end version may upgrade to Michelin Primacy silent tires in size 225/55 R18 for enhanced comfort. If you feel your Teana is bumpy or noisy, I recommend checking the tire wear first; normal tire lifespan is around 50,000 kilometers, and regular maintenance can extend it. I've also noticed that owners in northeastern China switch to specialized snow tires in winter for better safety, but the OEM tires are sufficient for daily commuting. When replacing, choosing the OEM matching brand ensures more stability.
My car enthusiast friend told me that the Nissan Teana's factory tires are mainly Dunlop, size 215/60 R16, but there's quite some room for modification. I recommended upgrading to Michelin Pilot Sport series, keeping the original size, which reduces braking distance and provides better safety in rainy conditions. The factory tires are medium-performance, slightly slippery during high-speed cornering, but after modification, the grip improves significantly. Be careful not to arbitrarily widen the rims to avoid affecting suspension balance. The cost is about a thousand yuan per tire, but it's worth it in the long run. After modification, the overall driving feel of the Teana becomes more stable, especially with noticeable improvement in comfort during long-distance driving. My friend switched to Continental all-season tires, which are durable and fuel-efficient. Sharing experiences, we agree that tires are a cost-effective starting point for car modifications.
