What is the difference between tire models 225 and 235?
1 Answers
The differences between 225 tires and 235 tires are: The contact area with the ground is different: The contact area of a 225 tire is 225mm; the contact area of a 235 tire is 235mm. Fuel consumption differs: 235 tires consume more fuel than 225 tires. The larger contact area of 235 tires results in greater friction, increasing driving resistance and ultimately leading to higher fuel consumption. Safety varies: 235 tires have greater friction and stronger grip than 225 tires, shortening braking distance and improving driving stability, thus offering higher safety. Tires are one of the most important components of a vehicle. Their main functions include: Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle, bearing the load, transmitting traction and braking torque, and ensuring adhesion between the wheels and the road. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing severe vibrations and early damage to vehicle components, adapting to high-speed performance while reducing driving noise, and ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel economy. In daily use, the following points should be noted for tires: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to wear from driving, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread is worn flat, it loses its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks can also pose a risk of tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove stones lodged in the grooves. Park on level 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 can deteriorate rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, and tire pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool the tires, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear from dragging on the ground.
