What does R15 on tires mean?
1 Answers
R is the abbreviation of Radial, indicating that the tire has a radial structure; 15 is the outer diameter size of the rim, meaning it is 15 inches. Tire data: Generally, the width of tires ranges between 145—285mm, with intervals of 10mm; the aspect ratio of tires is between 30%—80%. Under normal circumstances, ordinary sedans should not use tires with an aspect ratio greater than 75%, while luxury cars and high-performance sports cars are recommended to use tires with an aspect ratio less than 60%. Tire classification: Tires can mainly be classified by structure, tread pattern, type, and climate. Tires can be divided into radial tires and bias-ply tires based on internal structure. Based on surface tread patterns, tires can be categorized into rib pattern tires, transverse pattern tires, mixed pattern tires, and off-road pattern tires.
