What does 165/70r13 tire mean?
1 Answers
165/70r13 is a tire specification model, where 165 represents the tire section width in millimeters, 70 indicates the aspect ratio (the percentage of tire thickness to width being 70%), r denotes that the tire has a radial structure, and 13 is the outer diameter of the tire in inches. The impact of tire specifications on a vehicle: 1. Tire width: Affects traction; wider tires generally provide better traction, which is also related to the tire's material composition. Softer materials typically offer stronger traction but reduced durability. Tire width also affects resistance; wider tires increase resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption and slower acceleration. 2. Tread height: Primarily influences shock absorption efficiency and handling feel. 3. Tire thickness: Thicker tires absorb shocks better, filtering out minor vibrations more effectively, while thinner tires provide less vibration filtration, resulting in more direct vibrations. However, thicker tires can make handling less responsive and reduce steering precision.
