What is the tire specification?
2 Answers
The parameters displayed on the tire specification represent the tire's width, aspect ratio, tire type, and the applicable size of the tire. The functions of the tire are: 1. To support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the load of the car; 2. To transmit the torque of traction and braking, ensuring the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. To reduce and absorb the vibration and impact force of the car during driving, preventing severe vibration and early damage to car components; 4. To adapt to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reduce driving noise, ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy-saving economy. The maintenance methods for tires are: 1. Regularly clean the stones in the tire gaps; 2. Reduce exposure of tires to the sun; 3. Timely check the tire pressure; 4. Pay attention to the maintenance of the suspension.
Tire specifications refer to the size information of a tire, typically a series of numbers and letters printed on the sidewall, such as 195/65 R15. The 195 indicates the tire width of 195 millimeters, 65 is the aspect ratio, meaning the height is 65% of the width, R stands for radial construction, and 15 is the wheel diameter of 15 inches. Choosing the right specifications is particularly important because if the tire is too wide, it can increase fuel consumption and noise, while if it's too narrow, it may slip and become unstable in rain or snow, affecting safety. When replacing tires, always refer to the door label or the vehicle manual for the original factory data—don’t change them arbitrarily, as it can make driving uncomfortable and accelerate wear. I believe regularly checking tire conditions, including matching specifications and air pressure, can help you save on fuel costs and reduce the risk of blowouts.
