What does the tire model code mean?
1 Answers
Tire model codes represent tire size, tire section width, aspect ratio, rim diameter, carcass ply material, maximum speed supported by the tire, and maximum load capacity per tire. Most tire model markings are in the format of 215/70R15, where 215 indicates the tire section width, 70 is the aspect ratio, R denotes the radial structure of the tire, and 15 is the outer diameter of the rim. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface, working together with the car suspension to mitigate the impact during driving. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing performance and traction performance to ensure good ride comfort and smooth driving.
