1 Answers
A 16-inch tire typically weighs around 7-8.5kg, varying depending on the brand and material of the wheel hub. The wheel hub is a cylindrical metal component that supports the tire from the inside and is mounted on the axle. It is also known as the rim, steel ring, or wheel disc. Wheel hubs come in various types based on diameter, width, manufacturing method, and material. The functions of a tire are: 1. Transmitting driving force, braking force, and steering force to enable vehicle operation; 2. Supporting vehicle load; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving to prevent severe vibrations from damaging vehicle components. Methods for tire maintenance include: 1. Regularly checking tire pressure; 2. Inspecting tires for bulges, cracks, cuts, punctures, or abnormal wear; 3. Removing foreign objects such as stones, metal pieces, or nails from tire treads; 4. Performing wheel alignment or tire balancing.
