What Does Tire Section Width Mean?
1 Answers
Tire section width refers to the width of the tire's cross-section. The term 'section width' is used because, during the process of dissecting and analyzing a tire, it is typically cut, and the distance between the two sidewalls after cutting is the tire's section width. Below is relevant information: Benefits of a wider section width: 1. Tires with a larger section width increase the friction between the tire and the ground; 2. This not only enhances the tire's wet traction performance but also improves its water drainage capability, thereby increasing driving safety in rainy conditions; 3. Increasing the tire's section width can make the chassis appear lower, enhancing the overall premium feel of the car, while also improving power, braking performance, and stability.
