What does 195R15C tire mean?
1 Answers
95R15C refers to a tire with a tread width of 245mm and an aspect ratio of 45 (tire height ÷ tire width) (45 means 45%); R indicates that the tire has a radial structure with steel belts; 15 means the rim diameter is 15 inches; C indicates the maximum speed of the tire is 60km/h. Here is some extended information about the hazards of vehicle overloading: Shortens the vehicle's service life: The manufacturing of vehicles is based on technical data, and the load limit is no exception. Once overloaded, the original design data will be altered. For example: rivets may loosen, fastening screws may fall off, welding points may break, and the entire frame may deform. Overloading shortens the vehicle's service life and accelerates the aging of rubber and plastic components. Accelerates tire wear and deformation: Vehicle tires are designed and produced based on the total weight of the vehicle, with a considerable safety margin. However, when a vehicle is overloaded, the tires bear excessive weight and deform. This also increases friction, leading to a shorter tire lifespan. According to measurements, a 20% overload reduces tire life by 30%, and a 40% overload shortens tire life by 50%.
