What is the difference between tires with C and without C?
1 Answers
The difference between tires with C and without C is that tires with C are labeled as reinforced type, which are thicker and have stronger load-carrying capacity compared to those without C. The C mark represents light truck tires, a European standard notation, to distinguish them from passenger car radial tires. Tire specifications: Tire specifications are commonly represented by a set of numbers, where the first number indicates the tire section width, and the latter one represents the rim diameter, in inches. Taking 225/75R15C as an example, it means a radial tire with a width of 225 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 75, and a rim diameter of 15 inches. Some tires may also contain other letters or symbols, with meanings as follows: "X" indicates high-pressure tires; "C" indicates reinforced type; "B" indicates bias tires; "-" indicates low-pressure tires.
