What is the Tire Traction Index?
1 Answers
Tire traction index refers to the ability to support vehicle handling. Below is relevant information: Introduction to tire selection: Check the tire's cord material, which greatly impacts tire quality. Common materials include N (nylon), G (steel wire), M (cotton), and R (rayon). In China, these are represented by their initials, which is quite characteristic of Chinese practices and easy to identify—these letters usually follow the ply rating number. Precautions for tire use: Worn tire treads can reduce traction, affect handling, increase the risk of blowouts, and diminish the tire's ability to expel dirt and water. Car owners should also keep a tire pressure gauge handy to regularly check tire pressure.
