How is the tire aspect ratio calculated?
1 Answers
Tire aspect ratio is calculated by tire width in mm + aspect ratio percentage of tire cross-section + tire type code + rim diameter in inches + load index + speed rating code. Below is a partial introduction about tire aspect ratio: 1. Function: It is a major factor affecting a vehicle's sensitivity to road conditions. Vehicles with lower aspect ratios have thinner sidewalls and tires that bear greater pressure, making them highly sensitive to road conditions. This allows rapid transmission of road signals to the driver, facilitating better control, commonly seen in performance-oriented models. 2. Feature: Higher aspect ratios result in thicker sidewalls, providing ample cushioning but poorer road feedback, especially feeling more sluggish during turns, commonly found in comfort-oriented models.
