How much does a 12R22.5 tire weigh?
2 Answers
12R22.5 multi-layer special tires can exceed 100KG. Functions of tires: Enabling vehicle propulsion: Tires serve as the medium for force transmission between the vehicle and the road surface, transmitting driving force, braking force, steering force, etc., thereby realizing operations such as vehicle propulsion, braking, and steering. Supporting vehicle load: The vehicle's load causes the tire to sink until the average pressure on the tire's contact area balances with the internal inflation pressure. Absorbing shocks: Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impact forces during vehicle operation to prevent early damage to vehicle components caused by severe vibrations. Additionally, adapting to high-speed driving conditions while reducing driving noise, ensuring driving safety, comfort, handling stability, and fuel efficiency.
I've been driving trucks for ten years, and the weight of 12R22.5 tires really can't be generalized. Regular steel-belted tires weigh about 55 to 65 kg, while all-steel radial tires are heavier at 65 to 75 kg. Recently, when changing tires for my trailer, I found that tubeless tires are 7-8 kg lighter than those with inner tubes. The weight saved from one tire can reduce fuel consumption by about a hundred liters per year on long hauls. Heavy-duty tires have two extra layers of ply, pushing the weight up to 80 kg. You'll need a pry bar to move these tires, or your back will suffer. When changing tires, make sure the mechanic does a proper wheel balance and tightens the lug nuts evenly.
