[ "HOW TO READ THE SIDEWALL OF THE TYRE;Tyres are one of the most critical components of a vehicle. They have a crucial role in determining the performance of the car and making the ride smoother. Different tyre components indicate other aspects of the tyre, such as the tread pattern, the sidewalls, radial cord body etc. Different tyres have a different purpose and hence have different built. All these parts have different roles, such as the tread holds the road and determines the grip; the compound determines the flexibility, the sidewalls provide stability and keep the tyre sturdy. They also prevent air from escaping and keeps the tyre protected.Apart from stability, have you ever noticed some alphabets and numbers imprinted on the sidewalls? Most ordinary people like you and I would not pay attention to anything written on the sidewalls of the;Falken Tyres Loughborough. They would require a manual for guidance and understanding. However, these numbers are related to the tyre, and one should know how to decode them. This information indicates the name of the brand and model of the tyre and helps in differentiating one tyre from another. In addition to this, there is information in terms of numbers and alphabets, which come in handy when you decide to replace or change your tyres and buy a new set. Here is a little insight into the information which you can find on the sidewalls. And it is also important to note that you should look for this information only on the sidewalls and nowhere else on the tyre.Size:;First thing you will notice on the sidewall is the size of the tyre and the type of tyre. An alphabet denotes the tyre you are using; for example, a passenger tyre will be denoted by the letter PWidth:;It is then followed by a number that indicates the width of the tyre. The width is measured from one sidewall to another sidewallAspect ratio:;The percentage of section height divided by section width is known as the aspect ratio. This ratio determines the height of the sidewall; the more the ratio, the taller the sidewall. The aspect ratio of;Car Tyres Loughborough;is denoted in a two-figure numerical form as well.Construction:;Another piece of information visible on the sidewall of the tyre is the tyre casing. An alphabet denotes this. For instance, R means Radial construction, D means diagonal bias construction.Diameter:;The diameter of the wheel rim is also mentioned in terms of numbers (inches).Load IDEX:;The load index determines the load a tyre can carry at maximum air pressure. This index indicates the capacity of the tyre to maintain weight. A number on the sidewall denotes the load index.Extra load:;Some vehicles which are used explicitly for carrying bags require additional load-carrying capacity. Hence the tyres in such cars are built to bear excess weight at maximum speed. This information is also mentioned on specific tyres.Description:;This description includes a speed rating and speed symbol. It reflects the maximum speed limit of the tyre. These numbers are used to determine the nature of the tyre and its total capacity.DOT CODE:;This information on the sidewall is known as the department of transportation or DOT. This code is a unique identification number for your tyre. In addition, this code denotes that the tyre fitted in your vehicle has passed all the quality tests which are mandatory and conducted by the DOT for the safety of all vehiclesAdditional information:;Another critical piece of information may also present on the sidewalls, such as traction grades, temperature grade (which indicates heat resistance), tread wear etc. The manufacturing date is also imprinted on the sidewalls, known as TIN (tyre identification number); for instance, if a tyre was manufactured on the 29th week of 2010, the number reflecting will be 2910. It helps in knowing the exact age of the tyre. The name of the brand is also marked on the tyre." ]
