With the development of economy and industry, the threshold for becoming a car owner is getting lower and lower, and it is getting closer to the lives of the public. However, after using the car for a period of time, some car owners found that the performance of the original tires in some aspects is not suitable for their own use scenarios. For example, they may not be able to hold on to long downhills or often drive on sandy roads, and the original tires are not wear-resistant enough. At this time, they may need to change tires, but there are so many parameters for industrial tires. How can you refer to these parameters to replace an industrial tire that is more suitable for your use environment?
This string of parameters on the industrial tire represents the basic values of the industrial tire. First of all, the first parameter represents the cross-sectional width of the industrial tire.
The unit of cross-sectional width is millimeter, and the larger this value is, the wider the industrial tire is. The industrial tire in the picture has a cross-sectional width of 205mm.
The larger the cross-sectional width, the larger the contact area between the industrial tire and the ground. The larger the contact area, the stronger the grip of the industrial tire, which can effectively improve the handling performance of the industrial tire and shorten the braking distance.
However, the improved grip will lead to greater rolling resistance of the wider industrial tire. After changing to a wider tire, the steering wheel will feel heavier and the fuel consumption will be higher. On some models with smaller displacement, the power may be significantly reduced.
The second parameter of the industrial tire refers to the aspect ratio of the industrial tire, which is the ratio of the height and width of the industrial tire section. Under the same width, the lower the aspect ratio, the thinner the industrial tire.
The thinner the tire, the higher the sensitivity to the road surface and the better the handling, so thin tires are more common in cars running on the track. However, while the sensitivity to the road surface is high, the corresponding comfort of the car is not so good, and it will suffer when encountering some non-paved roads. Therefore, the tires of off-road vehicles are often large and thick. If you often walk on unpaved roads, you can also consider replacing thicker and more wear-resistant industrial tires so that they can be used longer.
