What Are the 4 Practical Tips for Choosing Tires?
1 Answers
4 practical tips for choosing tires include: 1. Tire Ply Rating: The combinations of tire ply ratings include 1+2, 1+2+1, 2+2+1, and 2+2+2, representing different numbers of layers in the tire. The larger the sum of these numbers, the more layers the tire has, making it thicker, safer, and more durable, but also relatively more expensive. 2. Tire Material: Current tire manufacturing materials include nylon, polyester, polyamide, and steel (steel belt material). The three common material combinations are: the best being polyamide+steel+polyester, followed by nylon+steel+polyester, and the most basic being nylon+steel+nylon. 3. Number of Tire Sidewall Layers: The more layers the tire sidewall has, the tougher it is, making it less prone to bulging or blowouts. Two layers are optimal, while one layer is standard. 4. Tire 3T Index: The three Ts in the tire index represent the treadwear index. The higher the number, the more wear-resistant the tire is. The traction grade is usually A, but if it shows AA, it indicates excellent handling and traction capabilities.
