What is the difference between 98H and 102H tires?
1 Answers
The difference between 98H and 102H tires lies in their load-bearing capacity. A 98H tire can bear a weight of 750 kilograms, while a 102H tire can bear 850 kilograms. Apart from this, the maximum speed these two types of tires can withstand is the same, both capable of enduring speeds up to 210 kilometers per hour. Related information: 1. Tire Ply Rating: Also known as the ply count, it refers to the nominal number of cord layers in the tire rubber, which may not exactly match the actual number of cord layers. It is an important indicator of tire strength. The ply rating is marked in Chinese, such as 12-ply, or in English, such as 14P.R, meaning 14-ply. 2. Cord Material: Some tires are labeled separately, such as NYLON, usually marked after the ply rating. Some tire manufacturers mark it after the specifications, using the first letter of the Chinese pinyin, such as 9.00-20N, 7.50-20G, etc., where N stands for nylon, G for steel wire, M for cotton, and R for rayon. 3. Balance Mark: Made of colored rubber in a specific shape, printed on the sidewall, indicating the lightest part of the tire. During assembly, this mark should align with the valve to ensure the overall balance of the tire. 4. Rolling Direction: The tread pattern on the tire is crucial for drainage and anti-skid performance during driving. Therefore, off-road tires with asymmetric tread patterns often use arrow marks to indicate the rolling direction, ensuring the designed grip, anti-skid, and other performance characteristics. Incorrect installation will have the opposite effect.
