What is the weight of a 1200mm tire?
2 Answers
1200mm tire weighs 135 jin. Here are the specific details about tires: Fuel consumption: The wider the tire, the larger the contact area. Under the premise of the same pattern and material, in straight-line conditions, wider tires provide better grip and traction, but the fuel consumption level will increase accordingly. Mileage: The number after tread wear indicates the mileage of the tire under the same conditions. The larger this number, the more wear-resistant the tire is. Generally, tires with excellent grip performance have a lower wear resistance index, which is why high-performance tires usually have a wear resistance index below 200, while ordinary tires with a wear resistance index above 300, due to their civilian and comfort-oriented positioning, have inferior grip performance compared to sport-oriented tires.
I've always been interested in automotive components, especially critical parts like tires. A 1200mm tire typically refers to a very large-diameter tire, commonly found on heavy-duty trucks or construction vehicles. The weight range is roughly between 50 to 70 kilograms. For instance, international brands like Michelin's all-steel tires may weigh close to 60 kg, while budget brands are slightly lighter. Factors influencing weight include material thickness and tire pressure design—thick rubber reinforced with steel belts makes them more durable but also heavier. When handling such tires, it's recommended to use professional installation tools to avoid back strain. This weight also increases fuel consumption and suspension load. Remember, regular checks on tread depth and balancing can extend their lifespan.
