Leao tires

How to Choose Leao Tires

Choose Leao tires by separating mainstream passenger road use from sport-oriented passenger use, then selecting the correct family inside that branch. Public catalog and market references show Nova-Force HP, Nova-Force Van, Lion Sport 3, and Lion Sport GP rather than a single undifferentiated passenger lineup. 

• If the goal is standard passenger summer road use with some performance bias, Nova-Force HP is the cleaner starting point. It is positioned as a handling-oriented HP tire, but it still sits below the more overtly sport-led Lion Sport naming. 
• If the vehicle is a van or light-commercial application, the correct branch is Nova-Force Van, not Nova-Force HP or Lion Sport. That is a role-based split, not a tread-preference split. 
• If the use case is sportier passenger driving, Lion Sport 3 and related Lion Sport variants are the relevant path. Those models should be compared against other sport-led passenger options, not against the van branch. 

Leao’s lineup is not especially broad, but it is not flat either. The useful decision is whether the vehicle belongs in the Nova-Force road branch, the Nova-Force Van branch, or the Lion Sport branch. 

Popular Leao Tire Sizes for Passenger Cars & Sport Fitments

Leao's US catalog concentrates heavily in the Lion Sport 3 and LION SPORT 4X4 HP3 lines, which run in lower-profile performance and sport passenger sizes rather than standard touring or crossover fitments. The most consistently available sizes across US retailers include:

•  215/55R16 - compact passenger fitment, common on Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus
•  225/45R17 - sport sedan size, common on Volkswagen Jetta GLI and Mazda 6
•  225/45R18 - performance fitment, often used on Honda Accord Sport and Hyundai Sonata N-Line
•  235/45R17 - sport passenger size, common on Ford Fusion Sport and Subaru Legacy
•  245/45R18 - wider sport fitment, used on performance-oriented sedans and entry sport coupes

Leao's size range reflects the Lion Sport line's orientation toward sport and performance passenger fitments rather than broad crossover or light-truck coverage. Buyers looking for larger SUV or truck sizes will find Leao's catalog depth drops off significantly compared to its passenger sport range - those needs are better served by other brands in the same value tier.
