"Tyres reading"
[ "IMPORTANCE OF TYRE MARKINGSPhysical features and the specifications in a tyre are identified by the markings of a tyre. This ensures that to work according to your vehicle model, you can have an exact replacement. While some of these tyre markings are of less importance, most others have a major effect on safety and performance. Hence, its essential to get the right ones.Tyre readingAn alphanumeric code in the tyre describes the Automobile tyres. These are moulded into the tyre sidewalls. The tyre dimensions and its major limitations such as maximum speed and load-bearing capacity are specified by this code.Sometimes, you will trace some information on the internal side of the tyre sidewall in the tyres having differentiated outer and inner walls and this information is not found on the external side of the sidewall. Gradually with years, the coding of the Tyre has become more complex. Currently, it is a combination of numbering schemes, lettering and units.Markings on SidewallLets take a tyre specification 225/55 R 18 95 H as reference. This specification includes:Width of TyreProfile or Aspect ratioConstruction of TyreThe diameter of Rim in inchesLoad indexIndex of Speed ratingWidth of TyreThe number 225 in the example represents the width of the tyre in millimetres as determined from sidewall to sidewall.Profile or Aspect ratioThe aspect ratio is represented by the number 55 in the example. It is the measurement of the height of the sidewall in mm. More clearly, the ratio of the cross-section to the width of the tyre is this number.Construction of TyreThen the letter indicates the construction of the tyre. The tyres radial construction indicated by the letter R. Casing from bead to bead, the internal ply cords extend across the in a radial direction.The diameter of Rim in inchesThe code of diameter is represented by the other number while Tyre reading. Unlike the width, this is displayed in inches. Representing the wheel rim diameter, this is crucial. The number 18 in the above case indicates that the tyre should be matched to a rim wheel of 18 inches.LOAD INDEXNext to the rim diameter, the load rating is found. Displaying the maximum capacity of the tyre of a passenger car when it is inflated to its maximum safe pressure, this is a crucial part. Determining the load in kg for each rating, a load index table needs to be consulted.Index of Speed ratingThe rating of the speed is represented by the marking of the tyre in this string. The tyres maximum speed that can be sustained by the car on being properly inflated and underloaded. Indicating the maximum permitted speed for a tyre, a look-up table is referenced by this letter like in the load index. Here, in this case, H denotes that a maximum 130mph speed is maintained by the vehicle under maximum load." ]
