What size tyres are on a 2013 Chevy Optra?
The typical tire size on most 2013 Chevrolet Optra models is 195/65 R15 on 15-inch wheels; some market-specific trims with larger 16-inch alloys use 205/55 R16. Always verify with the placard on the driver’s door jamb or the owner's manual for your exact vehicle.
Understanding the variability by market and trim
Because the Optra was sold under different names and with different configurations across regions, wheel and tire specifications varied. Here are the common possibilities you might encounter.
- 195/65 R15 on 15-inch wheels (the most common configuration across many markets).
- 205/55 R16 on 16-inch alloy wheels (optional in some trims or markets).
Note: Spare tires and temporary spares follow different sizing and may be smaller; always check the spare specification in your vehicle's manual.
How to verify the correct tire size for your car
To ensure you have the correct tires for your exact vehicle, inspect the sources below.
- Check the driver's door jamb placard, which lists the standard tire size, recommended pressure, and load rating.
- Look at the tire sidewall; the size is printed in a format like P195/65R15 or 205/55R16.
- Consult the owner's manual for factory-recommended sizes and load ratings for your trim.
- If in doubt, contact a Chevrolet dealer or a tire professional with your VIN to confirm the exact spec for your car’s build.
With the correct size confirmed, you can choose appropriate tires that meet the vehicle's performance and safety requirements.
Regional notes and considerations
In some markets, the Optra used a different naming convention (Lacetti-based models, etc.), but the principle remains the same: sizes vary by trim and wheel choice. Always base your decision on the car’s placard and manual rather than assuming a universal spec.
Summary: The most common tire size for a 2013 Chevy Optra is 195/65 R15 on 15-inch wheels; some trims or markets use 205/55 R16 on 16-inch wheels. Verify with the door placard or manual for your exact vehicle, and consult a professional if you're replacing tires with a different size.
