Is a One-Year-Old Tire Considered a New Tire?
1 Answers
A one-year-old tire is considered a new tire. Below are relevant introductions about tire specifications: 1. Tire width: It is a factor affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption performance. The wider the tire, the larger the contact area with the ground, which increases the friction between the tire and the ground. Consequently, more energy is lost as the vehicle's kinetic energy is converted into frictional heat, meaning wider tires consume more fuel over the same distance. However, every coin has two sides. Although fuel consumption increases, wider tires provide stronger grip, resulting in better vehicle stability. 2. Aspect ratio: It is a major factor influencing the vehicle's sensitivity to road conditions.
