What are the markings on motorcycle tires?
1 Answers
Motorcycle tire specifications are marked similarly to car tires, but there are also some special marking attributes. The basic specification markings include four dimensions: the outer diameter of the tire, the overall width of the tire, the height of the tire, and the diameter of the rim. Basic specification markings: The outer diameter of the tire, the overall width of the tire (including the tread width), the widest part of the tire; the height of the tire, the length from the bead to the center of the tire, and the diameter of the rim. Based on these four basic data, the tire will display the following specification markings: (overall width of the tire)/(aspect ratio: the ratio between the height and the overall width of the tire)-rim diameter. These data are not marked to the precise 1mm unit but are only roughly indicated. Meaning of the yellow dot marking: The common light point on domestic tires indicates that this part is the point with the lowest mass on the circumference of the tire. The position on the rim corresponding to the valve stem is generally the heaviest point on the circumference of the rim. By aligning the heaviest point on the rim with the lightest point on the tire, which is the position of the yellow dot or circle, they complement each other, helping to balance the weight distribution around the entire wheel circumference.
