Car tire specification 205/55r16 represents the tire's size parameters. 205 indicates the tire width is 205 millimeters, 55 represents the aspect ratio of 55, r stands for radial tire, and 16 means it can be mounted on a 16-inch rim. The functions of tires are: 1. Tires serve as the medium for force transmission between the vehicle and the road surface, transmitting driving force, braking force, steering force, etc., thereby enabling the car's driving, braking, and steering operations; 2. The vehicle's load causes the tire to compress until the average pressure of the tire's contact area balances with the internal inflation pressure; 3. To mitigate and absorb vibrations and impacts during vehicle operation, preventing early damage to automotive components due to severe vibrations.
