What is the difference between R17 and R18 tires?
1 Answers
The difference between R17 and R18 tires lies in the wheel diameter: R17 refers to radial tires with a rim diameter of 17 inches; R18 refers to radial tires with a rim diameter of 18 inches. Radial tires are pneumatic tires where the cord plies in the carcass run from one bead to another at approximately 90 degrees to the centerline of the tread. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery for ground contact and rolling, typically installed on metal rims. They feature high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, cushioning ability, excellent wear and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation.
