Trumpchi GS7 uses 255/50R2 model tires. Tires are usually mounted on metal rims to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road surface, and ensure driving performance. Tires often operate under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and extreme temperature effects during driving, thus requiring high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning properties. The Trumpchi GS7 has dimensions of 4730mm in length, 1910mm in width, and 1770mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2720mm. The vehicle's engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 252Ps, maximum power of 185kW, and maximum torque of 390Nm.

I've studied the tire configurations of the Trumpchi GS7 and found the factory-fitted tires are quite well-considered. Among the common models: the 2021 2WD Luxury version comes with Dunlop GRANDTREK ST30 series, 235/65 R17; the high-end 4WD version directly upgrades to 18-inch rims paired with Maxxis BRAVO HP tires in 245/60 R18, featuring a wider tread for stronger grip. By the 2022 model year, GAC started using Michelin PRIMACY SUV Harmony series, a high-end quiet tire in 245/55 R19 specification, which significantly reduces road noise. These details are quite important, as tire prices can vary by 300-500 yuan for different sizes, so make sure not to buy the wrong specifications when replacing tires.

Attention to tire matching issues for friends driving the GAC Trumpchi GS7. Based on my actual tests, vehicles with 17-inch wheels paired with 235-width tires provide better cushioning on bumpy roads. Although the 19-inch wheel models look more stylish, the 55 aspect ratio low-profile tires require extra caution when crossing speed bumps. The factory has equipped the vehicle with Goodyear EfficientGrip SUV II tires (245/55 R19) and Maxxis HP series tires. The latter has a wear resistance index as high as 500, but the braking distance is slightly longer on rainy days. It is recommended to regularly check the tread depth. If it is below 3 millimeters, it's time to replace the tires, especially for owners who frequently drive on highways.

The tire options for the Trumpchi GS7 vary by engine displacement. The 2.0T model offers three wheel sizes: 17, 18, and 19 inches. The most economical choice is the common 235/65R17 size, costing around 600 yuan per tire. The higher-end 245/55R19 Michelin tires cost over 1,100 yuan. Southern owners are advised to choose tires with good drainage like the Double Star DH06, while northern owners should consider winter tires for snow and ice. A little-known fact: the factory tire pressure label is located on the driver's side door frame. When fully loaded, the front tires should be inflated to 2.4 bar and the rear tires to 2.6 bar.
