What is the difference between 215 and 225 tires?
1 Answers
The differences between 215 and 225 tires are: different cross-sectional widths: the cross-sectional width of 215 tires is 215mm; the cross-sectional width of 225 tires is 225mm. In addition, the 215 tires have reduced grip and driving stability, as well as reduced friction, which results in lower fuel consumption and easier steering. However, the 225 tires, being wider, offer stronger stability and greater friction, which increases fuel consumption, but they provide better comfort compared to narrower tires. The functions of tires are: To support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the load of the car; to prevent severe vibrations and early damage to car components; to transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the car's power, braking, and passability. When choosing tires, it is important to select the appropriate ones for the vehicle. For example, low-profile tires used in sports cars are not suitable for family cars. Generally, the tires that come standard with family vehicles already balance comfort and fuel economy. In addition to the model, tires also have the following common data marked on them: Tire carcass cord material: indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tires. Speed rating: indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of tires from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h. Rim specification: indicates the rim size compatible with the tire.
