What is the tire model of Xiali N5?
1 Answers
The tire model specification of Xiali N5 is 175/65R14. The first number indicates the width of the tire; the second number represents the percentage of the tire's section height to its width, which is the aspect ratio; R stands for RADIAL, indicating it is a radial tire; the third number denotes the diameter of the rim. Tire width is a factor that affects the vehicle's fuel consumption performance. The wider the tire, the larger the contact area with the ground, which increases the friction between the tire and the ground. Consequently, wider tires tend to consume more fuel over the same distance. However, there are two sides to every coin. Although fuel consumption increases, wider tires provide better grip, leading to improved vehicle stability. The aspect ratio is a major factor influencing the vehicle's sensitivity to road conditions. Vehicles with lower aspect ratios have thinner sidewalls and greater tire pressure, making them more responsive to road conditions. This allows for quicker transmission of road signals to the driver, enhancing control, and is commonly seen in performance-oriented models. Higher aspect ratios result in thicker sidewalls, providing ample cushioning but reducing road feel, especially during turns, and are typically found in comfort-oriented models. Additionally, off-road vehicles generally have higher aspect ratios to adapt to harsh road conditions. Radial tires are composed of plies, belts, tread, shoulder, and bead, representing a structural form of tires, distinct from bias-ply tires, arched tires, and adjustable-pressure tires. Larger wheel sizes can visually enhance tension effects and improve stability in vehicle handling, but they come with the additional issue of increased fuel consumption.
