1 Answers
The tire specification 195/55r15 indicates that the tire has a width of 195 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 55, 'R' stands for radial tire, and '15' represents the rim diameter, meaning this tire model is suitable for 15-inch rims. Radial tires are commonly used in standard passenger vehicles. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery, designed to roll on the ground. They operate under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and extreme temperatures during operation. Therefore, tires must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning properties. Additionally, they are required to have excellent wear resistance, flexibility, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation.
