What is the Michelin Tire Specification Chart?
1 Answers
Tire specifications and models are marked on the sidewall of the tire. For example, 205/55R16 indicates a tread width of 205 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 55, and it can be mounted on a 16-inch rim. Main materials of tires: The primary material of tires is rubber. The characteristic of rubber is that it ages over time with use or storage, leading to significant changes in the tire's physical properties such as hardness and wear resistance. If an aged tire continues to be used, it may mildly affect vehicle performance or, in severe cases, result in a blowout. Tire lifespan: Generally, all-season or economy tires have a lifespan of 3-5 years, with a mileage of around 50,000 kilometers. Under normal conditions, the one-year lifespan of a newly manufactured tire is sufficient for use. However, for high-performance tires, the lifespan is only 20,000-30,000 kilometers. If the price is reduced, purchasing them may also be considered.
