What Does the Model of a Car Tire Represent?
1 Answers
Car tire models represent the tire's tread width, aspect ratio, tire type, rim size, load index, and speed rating. Taking 185/60R1491V as an example: 185 indicates the tire width is 185mm, 60 represents the aspect ratio of 60, R stands for radial tire, 14 denotes the rim diameter of 14 inches, 91 is the load index, and V signifies the speed rating. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground, typically installed on metal rims. They support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain the vehicle's driving performance.
