What is the tire model of the Prado?
1 Answers
265/60R18 is the tire model specification for the Prado. The first number, 265, represents the tire width of 265MM. The number 60 indicates that the tire's aspect ratio is 60%, meaning the section height is 60% of the width. The number 18 represents the rim diameter of 18 inches. The middle letter or symbol has a special meaning: "R" stands for radial tire. The tire brand for the Prado is Dunlop, with the tire center featuring a high-rigidity tread design, and the spare tire is full-sized. If you want to replace the tire yourself, you can follow the steps below: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the vehicle frame near the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack touches the metal part of the frame. Raise the jack until it supports the car. The jack should be positioned under the vehicle, and you should check to ensure the jack is at a right angle to the ground. Remove the hub cap and loosen the nuts counterclockwise. Do not fully remove the nuts; just loosen them enough to eliminate resistance. When loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures that the nuts turn, not the tire. Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose. 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. At this point, the tire replacement is complete. In addition to the model, the tire also displays 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 tire. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters from 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: Indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire for practical use, such as standard rim 5.00F.
