What is 101W on a tire?
1 Answers
Tire 101W represents the load index and speed rating of the tire. 101 indicates a maximum load capacity of 825kg, and W means the maximum speed should not exceed 270km/h. Speed rating: The speed rating refers to the maximum speed a tire can achieve under specified load and inflation pressure standards. Load index: The load index indicates the maximum load capacity of a single tire under specified conditions. Here is a partial introduction to tires: 1. Tires are classified by usage, including load-bearing tires, passenger car tires, and mining tires, among others. Load-bearing tires must not only have the size specifications marked on the sidewall but also indicate the ply rating. 2. The ply rating of load-bearing tires does not refer to the actual number of layers but rather to the load performance of tires made with high-strength material cords, which is equivalent to the number of cotton cord layers in tires made with cotton cords.
