What does R16 on a tire represent?
1 Answers
Tire R16 indicates that the tire diameter is 16 inches, where R refers to the tire being a radial tire, and 16 denotes the rim diameter of 16 inches. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high/low temperature effects during operation. Tires must possess relatively high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning performance, while also requiring high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as relatively low rolling resistance and heat generation. Tires can be categorized by purpose into: passenger car tires, light truck tires, construction machinery tires, off-road vehicle tires, industrial vehicle tires, etc.
