What is the Difference Between 195 Tires and 185 Tires?
1 Answers
The differences between 185 tires and 195 tires include: Different contact area with the ground: The 185 tire indicates a contact area of 185mm, while the 195 tire indicates a contact area of 195mm. Different tire thickness: The thickness of the 185 tire is 120.25mm, while the thickness of the 195 tire is 117mm. Tires are one of the most important components of a vehicle, and their main functions include: Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle, bearing the load of the car, transmitting traction and braking torque, and ensuring the adhesion of the wheels to the road. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impact forces during driving, preventing severe vibrations and early damage to vehicle components, adapting to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reducing driving noise, ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel economy. In daily use, the following points should be noted for tires: Regularly check the tire surface for defects such as cracks or deformations. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread is worn flat, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks may also pose a risk of tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, stones in the grooves should be promptly removed. Park on flat ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that may deteriorate rubber. After parking, the driver should not turn the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool down. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires are prone to overheating, and the air pressure may increase. In such cases, park to allow the tires to cool naturally. Avoid releasing air to reduce pressure or splashing water to cool, as this may cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent and hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear due to dragging between the tires and the ground.
