How to Read Tire Specification Parameters
1 Answers
Tire specifications can be found on the sidewall (tread pattern). The tire size specifications are 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 parameters is as follows: 1. The width of the tire is an important factor affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption and economic performance. The wider the tire, the larger the contact area with the ground, which correspondingly increases fuel consumption. 2. Aspect ratio: The lower the aspect ratio of a car tire, the greater the pressure it can withstand, and the higher its responsiveness, making it very quick to handle. However, it places higher demands on the elasticity and softness of the shock absorbers.
