What do the red and yellow dots on tires mean?
1 Answers
The red dot indicates the position with the maximum longitudinal vibration of the tire, which is the heaviest part and represents the tire's center of gravity; the yellow dot indicates the position with the minimum longitudinal vibration of the tire, which is the lightest part and represents the tire's light point. The following is an introduction to the functions of tires: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle: bearing the load of the car and transmitting forces and moments in other directions. 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque: ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the car's power, braking, and passability. Working together with the car suspension to mitigate the impact during driving and dampen the resulting vibrations. 3. Preventing severe vibrations and early damage to car components: adapting to the vehicle's high-speed performance and reducing driving noise, ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency.
