YU7 245mm Tire Strategy
Imagine that you are about to start a long-distance trip. The driving range and driving comfort of the car are undoubtedly your most concerned issues. When it comes to the choice of tire width, Xiaomi YU7 is like a meticulous travel planner, carefully planning the best solution for users.
When the tire size information of Xiaomi YU7 was announced, the Internet exploded instantly. Many "car lovers" frowned and pointed out the 245mm tire width, thinking that the size was not grand enough, and even suspected that it was a drag on safety and appearance. Faced with everyone's doubts, Xiaomi Auto's official Weibo and Lei Jun personally took action and transformed themselves into "popular science experts" in the middle of the night to reveal the mystery behind tire selection.
The numbers and letters "245/55 R19" on the tire are like a string of mysterious codes. Among them, "245mm" represents the tire section width, which is the distance between the widest part of the two sidewalls; "55" is the percentage of the tire sidewall height to the section width. The higher this value is, the tire is like a thick "protective pad", which can easily cope with road bumps, provide all-round protection for the wheel hub, and let the driver and passengers enjoy a comfortable cushioning like a cloud.
Xiaomi YU7 chose 245mm tire width, not just a random decision. In countless tests and simulations in the laboratory, engineers found that this width can allow the vehicle to reach a range of 835 kilometers under CLTC conditions for the standard version! Although it may be less "wild" in handling compared to wider tires, it is exchanged for ultra-long battery life and extreme comfort.
In addition, Xiaomi YU7 also tailors a tuning plan for each tire, combined with the ESP body stability control and quadruple brake redundancy of the chassis system, it is like putting on an invisible "safety armor" for the vehicle, making driving more secure.
In fact, Xiaomi YU7 has prepared a rich "tire menu" for users, with a total of four options: 245/55 R19, 245/50 R20, 245/45 R21, and 275/40 R21. If you prefer 21-inch wheels, the rear wheel width can be increased to 275mm, and the vehicle instantly becomes domineering, and the handling and stability are greatly improved, and the rate of turning heads on the road is off the charts.
But there is no free lunch in the world. Wider tires will increase rolling resistance, increase energy consumption, and shorten the cruising range accordingly.
In daily travel, most people prefer to arrive at their destination comfortably without worrying about running out of power. Xiaomi YU7 accurately captures user needs and uses a 245mm tire width to find the golden balance point in multiple dimensions such as cruising range, comfort, and safety.
Of course, for "control enthusiasts" who pursue speed and passion, the optional 275mm rear wide tire can also satisfy their desire for the ultimate driving experience. This diverse selection perfectly illustrates Xiaomi Auto’s philosophy of “user first”. No matter what your travel needs are, you can find exclusive answers here with Xiaomi YU7.
