Can 97v and 101w tires be used interchangeably?
1 Answers
Tires with 97v and 101w ratings can be used interchangeably. Below are the differences between 97v and 101w tires, along with some information about tire specifications: 1. The numbers 97 and 101 represent the load index, also known as the load capacity. A rating of 97 indicates a maximum load capacity of 730kg, while 101 indicates a maximum load capacity of 825kg. The load index is a code that represents the maximum load a single tire can bear, measured in kilograms (Kg). 2. The letter V denotes a speed rating, meaning the tire can withstand speeds up to 240km/h, while W indicates a speed rating of up to 270km/h. 3. The markings on a tire, such as 195/60-R15, have the following meanings: (1) 195 represents the tire's cross-sectional width. (2) 60 represents the aspect ratio, also known as the profile ratio, indicating that the sidewall height is 60% of the width. (3) 15 represents the diameter of the wheel rim.
