How are the white letters on tires applied?
1 Answers
Tire white letters can be applied using a tire paint marker. Car owners can purchase tire paint markers online and apply them themselves. More details are as follows: 1. Tires are mainly divided into several parts: the tread part, the shoulder part, the sidewall part, and the bead part. They are composed of materials such as rubber layers, belt layers, carcass, and steel wire rings. 2. On the tire, there is a series of letters and numbers. Taking 215/60R16-95H as an example, 215 is the tire width in millimeters, 60 is the aspect ratio, which is the percentage of the tire sidewall thickness to the tire width, R indicates a radial tire, 16 is the tire diameter in inches, 95 is the load index, and H indicates the speed rating. 3. The speed rating indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters from A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of tires from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. 4. Common speed ratings include: P is 150 km/h; H is 210 km/h; Q is 160 km/h; V is 240 km/h; R is 170 km/h; W is 270 km/h; S is 180 km/h; Y is 300 km/h; T is 190 km/h; ZR indicates speeds above 240 km/h.
