Bande / Tyre Informasie
23 Jun 2014 @ 11:44:04 am
Ek het ook die probleem gehad waar elke bande handelaar my allerande inligting voer van wat is reg, verkeerd, beter en beste tot ek gaan sit het en so bietjie begin rond krap het want Oom Google help graag as jy vra.
So het ek destyds 2000 toe ons die Regal gekoop het uitgevind het dat die bande ouer is as die karavaan en ook op daai stadium uit gevind het dat 'n normale rak lewe van 'n band is 5 jaar.
Ek kry die "pdf" dokument gelaai maar kry hom dan nie om aan te heg nie so nou het ek hom maar in foto formaat gesit om met julle te deel.
Ek het vir my 'n Excel dokument gemaak en dit aan verskillende handelaars gestuur toe ek die Ford se bande moes vervang en van dit het met "tjol" terug gekom en op navraag weet die ouens nie waarvan ek praat nie.

Sal dit van die huis af stuur ald is daar nog meer inligting.
23 Jun 2014 @ 15:11:32 pm
Ek verstaan nie wat jy bedoel nie want ek kry verskillendes ?
23 Jun 2014 @ 19:01:36 pm
Man hier word ek dik slim dankie Wil

WilSur die tweede laaste slide van die eerste klomp wat jy gepost het, se jy moet 'n penny vat om die tread na te gaan, ek het gesien dit was 'n Lincoln penny.
24 Jun 2014 @ 06:39:41 am
Baie dankie WilSur - het dit gekry
24 Jun 2014 @ 10:04:02 am
Dankie, Nou sien ek dit eers.
24 Jun 2014 @ 17:32:09 pm
Dit is die derde laaste slide!

WIlSur, interessante inligting, maar tog in 'n mate verkeerd, veral wat die ruil van die bande - regs na links - aanbetref. Dit is wel so dat hierdie manier in die verlede as ideaal aanvaar was, maar dit is bewys dat dit nie goed is om dit so te doen nie ... Regs bly REGS en Links bly LINKS.
Die rede hiervoor is die volgende:
Bande se loopvlak blokkies slyt voor meer af as agter. Dit is as gevolg van die feit dat die blokkie voor meer blootgestel word aan die padoppervlakte as agter.
Dit beteken dus dat die blokkies op die band agter ho�r is as voor, en sou jy dus die band in die teenoorgestelde rigting laat loop (m.a.w. die gevolg van die Regterband te verskuif na Links) sal die agterste gedeelte wat oorspronklik ho�r was, baie vinnig afloop. In Engels word hierdie effek "edging" genoem.
Jy sal ook vind dat bande deesdae 'n rigting aanwyser op die kant het wat baie duidelik wys in watter rigting rotasie moet plaasvind - dit het o.a. te doen met hierdie "edging" verskynsel, en ook a.g.v. die feit dat bande beter ontslae kan raak van water op die padoppervlakte - die band werk die water van die middel af uit na buite. Sou jy so 'n band omdraai (teen die gewenste rotasie) sal die water van buite na die middel van die loopvlak gevoer word met dienoorseenkomstige gevolge .... Ek sou dus aanraai dat bande, wanneer jy wil ruil ALTYD aan dieselfde kant van die voertuig gehou word. Indien die o� bietjie aan die swak kant is, en jy dus NIE die rigting/rotasie aanwyser kan sien nie, kyk na die band se loopvlak - die blokkies patroon, voe� ens. sal duidelik 'n tipe van "V" voorkoms aan dui, en die "V" (met die punt na voor)wys dus die rigting van rotasie aan!!
Baie jammer vir hierdie laaaang verduideliking, maar ek voel dit is nodig!!

Dankie, ek weet die is ou inligting maar weet nie waar om vars inligting soos die te kry nie. Hier is darm baie inligting wat die meeste nie van geweet het nie so hoop ek dit help.
Ek weet ook die straal laag bande is nie soo 'n groot probleem soos die "cross ply" bande nie want dan draai jy teen die draad van die band en dit is fataal vir 'n band.
27 Jun 2014 @ 10:05:41 am
Ek het daai foto verwyder wat die kruis ruil aanwys.
27 Jun 2014 @ 11:06:23 am
WilSur, as ek reg onthou, was die oorkruis ruil ook te doen met iets anders as Radial bande, maar gaan myself nie hierop kommit nie, my kennis is te gebrekkig met normale pad bande. (Ek werk by Yellow Plant en Vervoer besigheid), die bande wat ons gebruik is so groot soos my Corsa bakkie.
24 Nov 2014 @ 12:33:43 pm
Ek gaan sommer die inligting oop ok die draad sit waar ander inligting reeds is. Probeer dit in een sakkie te hou.
Het jy rim's ?
Of gaan jy allooi wielle op sit ? Maak net seker dat hulle die regte gewig kan dra, niks minder as 650kg nie.
Hier is die bande wat ons karavaan mee uitgekom het.
Ek maak ook gebruik van die "spread sheet" om die inligting van die bande bymekaar te kry.
Ek het op die skakel afgekom (klik net op skakel)
Errol's Tyres se web sien ek het nogal heelwat inligting.
Soos torque-settings skakel
Gaan kyk ook na "Bande / Tyre Informasie" die draad het ook heelwat inligting.
28 Dec 2014 @ 14:11:22 pm
Wilsur, bietjie laat maar sal jy vir my die inligtin ook kan mail na fjcoetzee@yahoo.com asseblief. dankie ek waardeer.
28 Dec 2014 @ 16:21:01 pm
Sadly, if we use a local penny there would be total confusion as Zipper can hide his head away anywhere........

How to read sidewall tyre numbers and markings.
The sidewall of your tyres is filled with important information that tells you everything you need to know about your tyre. The numbers can be a bit overwhelming to the untrained eye, so the best way to understand tire markings is to take an example and break it down, bit by bit. Below are tips and information to help you learn how to read tyre size and other tyre markings commonly seen worldwide including South Africa.
A tyre size is 185/60 R14. The 185 represents its section width. The number "60" indicates the tyre�s aspect ratio. The last number, "14" indicates wheel diameter.
The tyre numbers in the above example tell us that the tyre is 185 millimeters wide. The first number in this series refers to the tyre's section width, or distance from sidewall edge to sidewall edge (in millimeters) when measured up and over the tyre's tread. Generally speaking, the larger this number is, the wider the tyre will be.
Aspect Ratio is the ratio of the sidewall height to the section width. The sidewall height of the example tyre above is 60% of its section width.This number can be very indicative of a tyre's purpose. Lower numbers, like 55 or less, mean a short sidewall for improved steering response and better overall handling.
(R) Internal Construction
The "R" refers to radial construction, which has been the industry standard in passenger-car tyres for more than 20 years. Prior to radial tyres, most cars came with bias-ply tyres or X-ply tyres, which had a crude construction that made for poor handling. Bias-ply tyres (which use a "B" for their description) are still used for certain truck applications.
Rim or Wheel Diameter
Wheel Diameter specifies the size, in inches, of the wheel that a tyre fits. The example tyre will only fit a 14-inch wheel
Pay particular attention to this number if you plan on upgrading your wheel size. If your wheel diameter changes, you'll have to purchase a new set of tyres that matches this new diameter.
Other Tyre Markings
(82) Load Index
A tyre's load index is a measurement of how much weight each tyre is designed to support. The larger the number, the higher the load capacity. This is one of the most important numbers on your tyre. To find out what "82" means, it must be looked up on a Load-Carrying Capacity Per Tire chart above. Remember that this is per tyre, which means you have to multiply by four to get the total capacity for a complete set of tyres. If the vehicle has its original tyres, you can just refer to the doorjamb, which lists the maximum cargo capacity with passengers.
Some vehicles are equipped with "XL" tyres. No, it doesn't mean that they're extra large, but it does mean that they are extra-load tyres. The load index on these tyres is much higher than a standard-load tyre � which is why it is important to replace an XL tyre with another XL tyre.
Remember "P-metric" and "Euro-metric sizing"? Their difference in load rating can lead to confusion and potential trouble. For a given size, P-metric tyres will have a load index that is one or two points lower than corresponding Euro-metric tyres. So if your car came with Euro-metric tyres, don't replace them with P-metric tyres. You can, however, replace P-metric tyres with equivalent-size Euro-metric ones because you gain load capacity that way.
Why is this important? Generally speaking, you don't want your replacement tyres to have a lower load index number than the originals (as indicated by the driver's doorjamb or the owner's manual), particularly with high-capacity vehicles that ride on smallish tyres, such as minivans.
Also, and contrary to popular perception, optional large-diameter wheels with lower-profile tyres tend to have less load-carrying capacity because they contain less air. And it is the volume of air inside the tyre, not the rubber itself or the wheel material that carries the load.
The load index is especially important when shopping for a tyre online, since many retailers do not specify whether a tyre is P-metric or not.
(H) Speed Rating
The speed rating is a measurement of the speed at which the tyre is designed to run for extended periods. An "H" speed rating signifies that this tyre can be run safely at speeds of up to 210 kph for extended periods. Will it explode if it goes to 220? No, not immediately. But it might if it is run at that speed for an extended time.
Listed above is a complete list of the various tyre speed ratings, and their associated letters.The "Z" rating used to be the highest rating for tyres having a maximum speed capability greater than 240 kph, but as tyre technology improved, it is was ultimately split into the "W" and "Y" rating. A "ZR" may sometimes appear in the size designation, as a sort of nod to the prior rating, but it will also be used in conjunction with a W or a Y.
The DOT code is used by the Department of Transportation (DOT) to track tyre production for recall purposes. If a tyre proves to be defective, this number helps keep track of where these tyres ended up so that buyers can be notified of the problem. At the end of the DOT code you'll find a four-digit number. This is the manufacturing date of the tyre. The first two digits stand for the week; the other two are the year. For example, if your tyre had "1610" listed, it was manufactured on the 16th week of 2010.
If you come across a three-digit number, you have a tyre that was manufactured before 2000. A DOT tyre code of "127" indicates the tire was made on the 12th week of the seventh year of the decade. But it's difficult to know whether that was 1997 or even 1987. According to official sources, some tyres produced in the 1990's may have a small triangle following the DOT number to identify the decade. But any tyre that has a three-digit code is history. Tyre experts recommend that tyres that are six or more years old be replaced, regardless of tread depth.
Sometimes the DOT number will be located on the inside of the tyre. In this case, you can either jack up the car to inspect it, or check with your local mechanic or tyre shop. You should also make a habit of checking the manufacturing date on your spare tyre as well.
This number refers to the maximum amount of air you can put in a tyre before you harm it. It is not the recommended tyre pressure; that number can be found in your owner's manual and on the doorjamb. Remember that all tyre pressure readings are based on cold temperature and NOT whilst tyre is hot.
A traction rating can also be found on the sidewall of all modern tyres. It can be represented as AA, A, B or C. This is a rating of a tyre's traction when tested for straight-line braking on a wet surface. For this rating, AA signifies the best traction performance and C indicates the worst.
The temperature rating refers to the ability of the tyre to withstand heat under high speeds. The ratings, from best to worst, are: A, B and C.
Finally, you might find the word "TREADWEAR" on the sidewall followed by a number like 120 or 180. This is a rating of the tread's durability, as tested against an industry standard. The reference number is 100, so a tire with a treadwear rating of 200 has an 80 percent longer predicted tread life, while a rating of 80 means a predicted tread life only 80 percent as long as the industry standard.
