1 Answers
Tire size 'R' refers to radial tires, commonly known as steel-belted tires. The functions of tires are: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the load of the car; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing severe vibrations and premature damage to vehicle components; 4. Adapting to the high-speed performance of the vehicle while reducing driving noise, ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel economy. Methods for tire maintenance include: 1. Regularly removing stones stuck in tire treads; 2. Minimizing exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Promptly checking tire pressure; 4. Paying attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Conducting periodic front wheel alignment checks.
