About the BYD Dolphin's tyres
The BYD Dolphin is an electric hatchback launched in SA in 2024. The Standard Range model runs 195/60 R16 on 16-inch alloys, while the Extended Range uses 205/50 R17. The factory tyres are narrow, low rolling resistance items chosen for range, so a grippier replacement may cost some range.
Before you order, check the size on the sticker inside the driver's door or on your current tyres: derivatives and wheel options change the size. Read how to read a tyre size or when to replace tyres.
