What You Need To Know About Your tyres (Tyre Speed & Load)

[Dweller]

I have some friends who are not sure of what kind of tyres that they should get. Some even got con by roadside tyre shop. Hope this will help.

 

Example of your tyre

 

205/65R15 95H

 

1 - (175) Nominal Tyre Width (mm)

It is the nominal width in millimeters of the tyre inflated and mounted and on the rim specified in the standard. The nominal rim width may not be identical to the actual measured width of the tyre.

 

2 - (70) Aspect ratio:

It is the ratio of the tyre section height to tyre width. As the aspect ratio decreases, the tyre section height (sidewall height) becomes smaller.

 

3 - ® Radial Tyre

 

4 - (13) Rim Diameter

 

5 - (82) Load Index:

It refers to the maximum load that the tyre can carry at the rated speed.

 

The load index is a numerical code associated with the maximum load a tyre can carry at the speed indicated by its speed symbol.

 

Load Index/ Max Load/tyre(kg)

 

81/462kg

 

82/475kg

SAMPLE MA

either follow what you have on your car and(if is OE) double confirm the tyre spacification from car maker

(see door side pillar or petrol pump cover or owners maual)

if you wheel are upgraded locally my your car seller it may not be following the car maker spec because the COST matter.

SIZE is the first to look for.

2nd important is the quality of tyre,dont save money on them they are the only contact on the 4 tyres

Average Life-span is around 2 years or 45k KM so if your split it over the 2 years your saving on cheapo tyre is very little.
