Are 3.0-10 and 3.5-10 interchangeable?
1 Answers
3.0-10 and 3.5-10 are not interchangeable due to the different side widths of the steel rims. Difference in steel rim side width: The steel rim for a 3.00-10 tire has a side width of 4cm, while the steel rim for a 3.50-10 tire has a side width of 5.5cm. The latter is 1.5cm wider on the inner side than the former. Forcing a 3.50-10 tire onto a narrower rim would cause the tire to burst out from the rim because the rim is too narrow, even though both rims have the same diameter of 10cm. Functions: Support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the load; transmit traction and braking torque to ensure adhesion between the wheels and the road; reduce and absorb vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing severe vibrations and premature damage to vehicle components; adapt to high-speed performance and reduce driving noise, ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
