What does 95y tire mean?
1 Answers
95 is the load index of the tire, and 95 corresponds to a maximum load of 690KG per tire. Y represents the speed rating of the tire, which indicates the maximum speed the tire can carry the specified load under specified conditions, with Y having a top speed of 300 kilometers per hour. Here is some additional information: 1. Function: The tire is one of the most important components of a car, primarily supporting the vehicle's entire weight and bearing the car's load; transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure adhesion between the wheel and the road; reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing severe vibrations and early damage to car components, adapting to the vehicle's high-speed performance, reducing driving noise, and ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency. 2. Composition: Tires are usually composed of three parts: the outer tire, inner tube, and flap. Some do not require an inner tube, as the inner layer of the tire body has a rubber layer with excellent airtightness and requires specialized rims. The structure of tires worldwide is evolving towards tubeless, radial construction, flat (small ratio of tire section height to width), and lightweight designs.
