How to Identify Whether a Tire is a Steel Belted Tire?
1 Answers
Tire identification methods for steel belted tires are: 1. Nylon tires use entirely nylon cords, while steel belted tires use a combination of nylon and steel cords; 2. Tires containing steel belts are indicated by the letter 'R' in the model number. The functions of tires are: 1. To support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the vehicle load; 2. To transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, thereby improving the vehicle's power performance, braking performance, and passability. The steps for replacing a tire are: 1. After parking and turning off the engine, apply the handbrake; 2. Place heavy objects in front of and behind the wheels to prevent sliding, and set up a triangular warning sign behind the vehicle; 3. Use a wrench to loosen the lug nuts of the tire to be replaced in a diagonal pattern; 4. Place the jack on the side of the vehicle where the tire needs to be replaced and raise the vehicle to a certain height; 5. Remove the lug nuts and take off the tire; 6. Install the spare tire or new tire and tighten the lug nuts in a diagonal pattern; 7. Lower the vehicle by releasing the jack and ensure that all lug nuts are properly tightened.
