The 2019 Levin model uses three brands of tires: Dunlop, with specifications of 205/55R16; Bridgestone, with specifications of 225/45R17; and Yokohama, with specifications of 205/55R16. Additional information: 1. Levin tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery for ground rolling. They are typically mounted on metal rims, supporting the vehicle body, cushioning external impacts, ensuring contact with the road surface, and maintaining the vehicle's driving performance. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions. 2. While driving, tires endure various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing, traction, and cushioning performance. Additionally, they are required to have high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation. Half of the world's rubber consumption is used for tire production, highlighting the significant demand for rubber in tire manufacturing.

I've been driving my Levin for over a year now, and the original tires are Bridgestone Turanza models, which I find have excellent grip, especially providing stable performance on wet roads. As a driver who frequently takes long trips, I've noticed that tire selection is crucial. Toyota tends to favor Japanese brands due to their high reliability and durability. When changing tires, it's important to consider the season—for example, avoid excessively high tire pressure in summer to prevent blowouts. I also check the tire pressure monthly, keeping it around the recommended 2.3 bar, which helps extend tire life and save fuel. Noise control is also quite good. If the tires wear out quickly, remember to replace them promptly to prevent accidents—never skimp on safety for small savings, as tires are the first line of defense in driving.

As a Levin owner, I found the car came with Yokohama tires from the factory, which served me well for three years without major issues. When replacing tires myself, I tried Michelin - quieter but pricier. Choosing the right tires significantly impacts overall driving experience, like reducing bumps on long trips. From experience, I've learned to always check tire wear during maintenance. If the tread is shallow or there are cracks on the sidewalls, replace them promptly. Adjusting tire pressure is crucial during significant temperature changes - too low pressure increases fuel consumption. For city driving, cost-effective brands like Hankook can work too. The key is proper maintenance for both savings and safety.

When I first bought my Levin, I checked and found that the original tires mostly use Bridgestone or Yokohama brands, which are reliable in performance and not prone to slipping. As a budget-conscious driver, I realized that replacing tires doesn't necessarily require the same original brand; affordable alternatives like Dunlop can also work, but make sure to choose the correct size to avoid affecting handling. Maintaining proper tire pressure during daily driving can prevent blowouts and save fuel. If tires wear out too quickly, it might be a pressure issue, so it's best to check the balance every quarter. When selecting tires, durability is key, and it's quite reasonable for the Levin to use these Japanese tire brands.
