1 Answers
In a 14x2.125 tire, the 14 refers to the tire width of 14 inches, and 2.125 refers to the inner diameter of the tire being 2.125 inches. 14x2.125 is the tire's specification model. The functions of a tire include transmitting driving force, braking force, and steering force to enable vehicle operation; supporting vehicle loads; and reducing and absorbing vibrations and impact forces during driving to prevent severe vibrations from damaging vehicle components. Tire usage precautions are as follows: Tire wear: Worn tire treads can cause loss of grip, affect handling, increase the risk of blowouts, and reduce the tire's ability to expel dirt and water. Tire pressure: Keep a tire pressure gauge handy to check tire pressure regularly. Remove debris from treads: Promptly remove foreign objects from tires to prevent stubborn stones from getting stuck in the treads. When tires wear down to a certain extent, these objects can puncture the tire, leading to leaks or blowouts. Tire rotation: Rotate tire positions every 10,000 kilometers to evenly distribute wear and fatigue, prolonging tire life. In addition to the model, tires are marked with the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed a tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160 km/h; H: 210 km/h; V: 240 km/h; W: 270 km/h; Y: 300 km/h. Rim specification: Indicates the rim size compatible with the tire for practical use, e.g., standard rim 5.00F.
