What is the Motorcycle Wheel Hub and Tire Width Matching Chart?
1 Answers
It depends on the width of the wheel hub in inches. Normally, an 18-inch wheel hub has a width of 7.5 inches, which is most suitable for 225 mm wide tires, with a maximum width of 235 mm. For larger 18-inch wheel hubs, the width can reach up to 9 inches, suitable for 255 mm wide tires, with a maximum of 265 mm, which provides greater benefits for mid-to-late acceleration and braking performance. Even wider wheel hubs and tires are not suitable for civilian vehicles. Below is relevant information about tires: Tire lifespan: The wear life of tires is between 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. If the tire has not reached the wear limit or mileage but has been in use for 5 years or shows significant sidewall cracking, it should be replaced. Tire material: The main component of tires is rubber. The longest storage and anti-aging time for rubber, from natural latex to EPDM and nitrile, does not exceed 10 years, with an average service life of 3-5 years for various rubber products in use.
