What does the V in tire specifications stand for?
1 Answers
Tire specifications with a V indicate the speed rating of the tire. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. They are typically installed on metal rims to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain driving performance. Tires often operate under complex and demanding conditions, requiring high load-bearing, traction, and cushioning capabilities. The functions of tires include: 1. Working with the vehicle suspension to mitigate impacts during driving; 2. Ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving; 3. Maintaining excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 4. Enhancing the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities; 5. Supporting the weight of the vehicle.
