What Does the Car Tire Code Mean?
1 Answers
Car tire codes indicate the following: Taking 225/60R17 99H as an example, 225 represents the section width, which is the width of the tire tread; 60 represents the aspect ratio, which is the height of the tire sidewall; R stands for the tire type code, with R indicating a radial tire; 17 represents the rim diameter, meaning the tire is suitable for 17-inch rims. 99 represents the load index of the tire, indicating the maximum weight the tire can bear; H stands for the speed rating, which is the maximum speed the tire can handle. Car tires are one of the essential components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface. Together with the car suspension, they help absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance.
