What is Tire Aspect Ratio?
1 Answers
Aspect ratio is a data parameter of tires, referring to the percentage of the tire's section height to its maximum section width. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Tires with a high aspect ratio have longer sidewalls and stronger cushioning capacity, offering relatively higher comfort but poorer road feel and weaker lateral resistance during turns. 2. Tires with a low aspect ratio and large inner diameter have shorter sidewalls and wider treads, resulting in a larger contact area and greater pressure-bearing capacity. They are very responsive to road conditions, exhibit strong lateral resistance during turns, and enhance vehicle handling. 3. After equipping a vehicle with wide, large-inner-diameter, low-aspect-ratio tires, besides improved handling, the visual effect also gives a very imposing appearance.
