How to Know Your Tire Model?
1 Answers
Tire models can generally be found on the sidewall of the tire. For example, a tire model might be 205/60R16. The first number, 205, represents the tire width in millimeters (205MM). The number 60 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire's cross-section is 60%, meaning the height of the cross-section is 60% of the width. The letter R stands for radial tire, and 16 denotes the rim diameter in inches. In addition to the model, tires also display the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese Pinyin, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, and ZG for steel radial cord. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters from A to Z represent certified speed ratings ranging from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h. Rim specification: Shows the rim size compatible with the tire, making it easier for practical use, such as "Standard Rim 5.00F".
