What is the size of a 285 tire?
1 Answers
285 tire refers to an automotive tire with a width of 285mm. Below is relevant information about tire specifications: 1. Tire specifications; Tire specifications are commonly represented by a set of numbers, where the first number indicates the tire section width, and the latter denotes the rim diameter, measured in inches. For example, a tire marked 285/70/17 signifies a tire with a width of 285mm, an aspect ratio of 70, and a diameter of 17 inches. 2. Classification by tire usage: Tires are categorized by usage, including load-bearing tires, passenger vehicle tires, and mining tires, among others. Load-bearing tires must not only display the specification dimensions on the sidewall but also indicate the ply rating. However, it is important to note that the ply rating of load-bearing tires does not refer to the actual number of layers but rather to the tire body made with high-strength material cords, whose load-bearing performance is equivalent to that of a tire body made with cotton cord layers.
