What models are compatible with 70/90-10 tires?

Tires should be purchased and installed with the same model as the original vehicle tires. Inconsistent models will affect the safety and stability of the vehicle. The following is relevant information about tires: 1. Wear: Tires have wear indicators. There are triangle marks on the side of the tire. When worn to the position indicated by the triangle mark, it is recommended to replace the tire. There are also raised marks inside the tire tread grooves. When worn to the point where the raised marks are level with the tire surface, the tire should be replaced. Simple punctures can be repaired without replacement. Bulges must be replaced. 2. Aging: Rubber oxidizes in the air, and oxidized rubber hardens, reducing grip. Therefore, even if a set of tires is left unused, their lifespan will decrease. It is not recommended to use tires for more than 5 years from the production date. The production date is indicated on the side of the tire.
