What is the calculation method for tire aspect ratio?
1 Answers
Aspect ratio is a data point for tires, referring to the percentage of the tire's cross-sectional height to its maximum cross-sectional width. Simply put, it is the height-to-width ratio of the tire. Below is some information about tire aspect ratio: 1. Function: It is a main factor affecting the vehicle's responsiveness to the road surface. Vehicles with a lower aspect ratio have thinner sidewalls, and the tires bear greater pressure, making them very responsive to the road surface. This allows road signals to be quickly transmitted to the driver, facilitating better control, commonly seen in performance-oriented models. 2. Characteristics: A higher aspect ratio means thicker sidewalls, providing ample cushioning but poorer road feedback, especially feeling more sluggish during turns, commonly seen in comfort-oriented models.
