How to Read Tire Width?
1 Answers
Tire specifications are uniformly marked on the tire sidewall. Taking the tire size 195/65R15 as an example, 195 indicates that the tire width is 195mm, 65 represents the tire's aspect ratio (the height of the tire's cross-section as a percentage of its width, which is 65%), R stands for radial tire, and 15 denotes the diameter of the car's rim in inches, which is 15 inches. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery, typically installed on metal rims. They support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain the vehicle's driving performance. 2. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and extreme temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning ability.
