What is the difference between Y and W tires?
1 Answers
The difference between Y and W tires lies in their speed ratings: Y-rated tires have a speed rating of 300 kilometers per hour, while W-rated tires have a speed rating of 270 kilometers per hour. The main functions of tires are: 1. To support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions; 2. To transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, thereby improving the car's power, braking, and off-road performance; 3. To work together with the car's suspension to cushion the impact during driving and dampen the resulting vibrations; 4. To prevent severe vibrations and early damage to car components, adapt to the vehicle's high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
