What is the model and specification of the Sonata 8 tires?
1 Answers
The tire specification for the Sonata 8 is 225/45R18. The first number, 225, represents the tire width in millimeters (225MM). The 45 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire's cross-section is 45%, meaning the height of the cross-section is 45% of the width. The 18 denotes the rim diameter in inches, and the middle letter "R" stands for radial tire. The Sonata 8 tires feature a fan-blade-like five-spoke design, and the spare tire is a non-full-size type. If you wish to replace the tires yourself, follow these steps: Retrieve the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the vehicle frame near the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack contacts the metal part of the frame. Raise the jack until it supports the car. The jack should be positioned under the vehicle, and ensure it is at a right angle to the ground. Remove the hubcap and loosen the nuts counterclockwise. Do not completely remove the nuts; just loosen them enough to eliminate resistance. Keeping the tire on the ground when first loosening the nuts ensures that the nuts, not the tire, rotate. Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they come off. Repeat this step for all lug nuts and then remove them completely. Place the new tire on the wheel hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts. Install the lug nuts and tighten them by hand until all nuts are snug. The tire replacement is now complete. In addition to the model, the tires also display the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, and ZG for steel radial cord tires. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160 km/h; H: 210 km/h; V: 240 km/h; W: 270 km/h; Y: 300 km/h. Rim specification: Shows the rim size compatible with the tire for practical use, such as "Standard Rim 5.00F".
