What does 16*3.0 tire mean?
1 Answers
3.0 is the width of the tire. 16 is the diameter of the tire, which means it is a 16-inch tire. The tire specification 3.00-10 indicates a diameter of 30 cm and 10 layers of thickness. The 3.00-10 imperial specification refers to a 3.00 cross-section width: 3.00X25.4, which is 76.2 mm in cross-section width, and a 10-inch inner diameter. The hyphen (-) indicates a bias-ply tire. Example: If a motorcycle tire specification is 205, 65, R17, 92V, here is the detailed explanation of its meaning: 1. 205: The 205 refers to the width of the motorcycle tire, which is 205 mm. 2. 65: The 65 refers to the aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 65% of the tire height. 3. R17: The R indicates a radial tire, and 17 is the rim diameter in inches. 4. 92V: The 92 refers to the load index, which means 92 multiplied by 4, indicating it can withstand a pressure of 368 kg. The V refers to the speed rating, which can reach up to 240 km/h.
