Tire 96w indicates the maximum limit each tire can withstand. The number 96 represents the load index of the tire, with a maximum load capacity of 710 kilograms. A higher number indicates a greater load capacity. The letter 'w' denotes the speed rating, with a maximum speed of 270 kilometers per hour. The further the letter is in the alphabet, the higher the speed rating. Methods for maintaining car tires include: 1. Regularly checking tire pressure; 2. Inspecting tires for bulges, cracks, cuts, punctures, or abnormal wear; 3. Removing foreign objects such as stones, metal pieces, or nails from tire treads; 4. Performing wheel alignment or tire balancing.
