How to Interpret Tire Specification Parameters?
1 Answers
Tire model specifications can be found on the sidewall (tread pattern model). The tire specification size is expressed in millimeters as the section width and the percentage of the aspect ratio. This is followed by: tire type code, rim diameter (in inches), load index (allowable load mass code), and allowable vehicle speed code. The influence of tire specifications on other indices is as follows: 1. The width of the tire is an important index affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption and economic performance. The wider the tire, the larger the contact area with the ground, and the corresponding fuel consumption increases. 2. Aspect ratio: The lower the aspect ratio of a car tire, the greater the pressure it can withstand, the higher the responsiveness, making it very quick to handle, but it requires a high level of elasticity and softness from the shock absorbers.
