Marking car tires. Marking car tires Marking car tires

195/65 R15 91T

195 - the width of the tire in mm.

65 - Proportionality, so that the height of the profile is adjusted to the width. In our opinion, 65% is good. Seemingly simpler, with the same width, the larger the display, the tire will be wider and better. Call this value simply - "profile".

R- means radial (as a matter of fact, at the same time, all the tires can slacken themselves like that).

15 - diameter of the wheel (disk) in inches.

T- speed index. You can drive on this tire with more speed, (in our type ІС - T - up to 190 km / h). ().

91 - interest index. Tse r_ven marginally admissible navantazhennya on the wheel. For passenger cars, tires should be used with a margin and when choosing tires, they do not exceed the highest values, (in our case, ІН - 91 - 615 kg.). ().

American designation of the size of the world

There are two types of marking of American tires:

Persha is more similar to European, only letters are put in front of the standard size "P" (Passanger- for a passenger car) or "LT"(Light Truck - easy vantage). for example: P 195/60 R 14 or LT 235/75 R 15.

І іnsha branding, as a matter of principle vіdіznyaєtsya vіd єvropejskoї.

for example: 31х10.5 R15

31 - the actual diameter of the tire in inches.

10.5 - tire width in inches.

R- tire of radial design.

15 - tire inner diameter in inches.

Knowing these basic data, you can choose tires for your car without tires.

SHINI branding:

Car tires are marked with an alphanumeric code, which is applied to the surface, for example, like this: 185/65 R1492T. The leather letter and number indicate the tire size and the main characteristics. In some cases, before the code, add additional letters indicating the type of car for which the tire is assigned. Yes, letter "R" be placed on tires intended for passenger cars (Passenger), and "LT"- small commercial (Light Trucks) vehicles.

Otzhe, wrote on the sidewall of the tire 185/65 R1492T means coming:

185 - tire profile width in millimeters,

65 - height adjustment of the tire profile (from the landing rim to the outer edge of the wheel) up to її width in percent%,

R- radial tire (Radial), with radial stitching of cord threads,

14 - landing diameter of the tire in inches (1 inch is 2.54 cm),

92 - load index, which means the maximum load on one tire,

T- index of dryness, meaning the maximum allowed dryness.

A tire is depicted on the little one, de є so it is known:

1) Tire model.

2) MAX LOAD- maximum vanity, kg or English pounds. MAX PRESSURE- maximum internal pressure in the tire, kPa.

3) Width of the tire profile in millimeters from bead to bead.

4) Profile height - adjusting the height of the bead to the full width of the tire in the heights. If there is no indication, then it won't, as a rule, one 82%.

5) R- radial tire (Radial).

6) Diameter of the wheel, for which the tire is recognized, is measured in inches.

9) TWI- Tread wear indicator indicator. The indicator itself is a ledge on the bottom of the tread groove. If the tread wears down to the level of that ledge, it's time to change the tire.

10) RF-(Runflat)- Run Flat technology, "restless" tire.

11) OUTSIDE or Side Facing Out(External side of the installation), INSIDE or Side Facing Inwards (inner side of the installation) - for tires with an asymmetric tread patch.

12) M+S (Brud i snig) - winter and universal tires, Winter(Winter), Rain(Dosch), Water or Aqua(Water), All Season North America(All-weather for Pivnіchnoy America) and so on. - tires designated for operation in specific minds.

13) MADE IN - country virobnik.

14) TUBE TYPE (TT)- tube tire TUBELESS (TL) - tubeless tyre.

15) Lighter space on the tire.

16) ROTATION - straight tire wrap.

17) TREADWEAR 360 - wear resistance coefficient, rated according to the rating to the "base tire", for which tires are more durable 100. TRACTION A- coeficient zcheplennya, maє value A, B, C. Coeficient A maє the greatest value of zcheplennya in his class. TEMPERATURE A- temperature regime, indicator that characterizes the building of the tire to withstand temperature changes. Vіn, yak i poperednіy is subdivided into three categories A, B and C.

18) Tire breaker.

19) DOT - compliance with US standards, E17 - Compliance with European standards (the number of the state of the hvalennya).

Krym tsyogo, іsnuє dodatkove tire marking:

FROM -(Commercial) - a tire for light fittings (butt: 185 R14C) .

Marking DISC:

Automobile disks are marked with such a rank, for example, like:

7.5JxR17 ET34 PCD 5×120 DIA 72.6

7.5J is the width of the rim in inches.

R17- disk diameter in inches.

ET34- disk wilt, this parameter that determines the difference between the seating area of ​​the disc to the womb and the vertical plane of the middle of the disc width. Measured in millimeters.

PCD 5×120- number of opening bolts / nuts (in this case 5). The diameter of the stake (120mm), on which the stench is rotting, is equal to one type of one, called PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter).

DIA 72.6- diameter of the central opening, measured in millimeters.

Tire marking decoding

There are graphs in the description of the skin model of the tire "Typorozmiriv" і «INDEXI». In this article, we propose to you the decoding of these meanings.

Let's look at an example. In the graph "Typorozmiriv" value entered 185/70R14, in yacoma:

185 - tire width in mm., 70 - tire height adjustment (from the landing rim to the outer edge of the wheel) up to її width in percent,

The smaller the number, the wider the tire looks, the more "squat" and more dynamic the car. However, all the advantages of the garni only on dry roads with ideal coverage.

R- radial cord construction, cord threads in the frame balls can be radial (meridional) stitching, so that they are straightened from side to side,
14 - mounting size of the rim in inches ( 1 inch \u003d 2.54 cm).

In the graph «INDEXI» the index of maximum weight per tire in kilograms and the index of speed are indicated - the maximum allowable speed in km/h, as well as the additional index characterize the power of a particular tire.

Rozmir tires

Under the expansion of the tire, it is worn out on the uvaz of the numerical virus X / Y-Z(For example 130 / 70-18, like the Honda Gold Wing GL1800), de:
X- ce width(Cross section) tire profile in millimeters,
Y- height of the profile at the height of the width (the value is not indicated, as the width is indicated in inches. For example, 3.00-10)

Tire type

As you can see, tires come in two types - chambered and tubeless.
TT- abbreviation vіd Tube Type(Chamber) - a designation for tires, recognized for victories only at the same time with the camera. TL- abbreviation vіd Tubeless(Tubeless) - indicative of those that the tire should be repaired without a tube.
Tightness ensures the ball is especially \u200b\u200bhumi, applied on the inner ring. The proper fixation of the tire on the rim is within reach of the hamps - special structural elements of the wheel disk.

The sidewall be a tire with a great number of unreasonable people, just a short-haired marking and inscriptions. Irrespective of their diversity, it is necessary to understand that the skin of the eye carries in itself the same information, often critically important. What is M + S or the icon "snowfields"? Why is it written “outside” or “inside” on the sidewall? What do Continental or Michelin brand markers mean? Yaka Guma homologated (assembled in the original configuration) for Audi, Mercedes, Porsche and BMW? Everything can be recognized s tsієї statti.

Let's start from a simple one, but from the tire itself. Let's take a look at the upcoming popular expansion:

195/65R1591T

  • 195 - tire profile width in mm. It is important to understand: the width of the tread is measured not according to the width of the little one (big road), but according to the entire width of the tread line, as a rule, it bends to the sidewall. Sounds like, to say the least, there are a lot of calls to dealers with claims due to the inconsistency of the declared real width. Most of the waters do not know about the “features” of the world.
  • 65 - adjusting the height of the profile to the width, reduced in%. It is also a given indicator in the lateral zone of the wheel (for example, the size of the wheel is 185 / R14С), which means that the gum is of a full profile with a profile height of 80-82%.
  • R - designation of the radial construction of the tire cord. At the moment, 99.9% of all exhaust tires are radial. Bagato who is pardoning the name of the Danish pokaznik with a radius.
  • 15 - inner diameter of the tire. Guilty spіvpadati z similar pokaznim disk avtomobilya.
  • 91 - index of interest. Indicates the allowable weight for one wheel. For example, 91 \u003d 670 kg per tire. It is important to understand what the index of vantageopidyomnosti is important for, to that in one rozmіrі one and the same model can mother a different design, a different car.
  • T - speed index. The parameter indicates the speedy mode, with which huma guarantees the primary level of productivity. Speed ​​index T \u003d 190 km / h. However, this does not mean that it is possible to drive over 190 km / h on this gum. It is not recommended to constantly drive over 190 km / h.

Marking of American tires

Let's take the coming type of world:

31x10.5 R15

  • 31 - current tire diameter in inches.
  • 10.5 - tire width in inches.
  • R - tire of radial design, similar to the European system.
  • 15 - tire inner diameter in inches.

Like Bachimo, the Americans have gone to the point of being more practical, not tight-fitting, to prorakhovuvat vіdsotki and so on.

What is M + S and 3PMSF

M+S(Mud and Snow) - special marking on the sidewall of a car tire, as it may have high characteristics on the snow cover. Ale tse does not automatically mean that winter gum is all-weather.
3PMSF- snizhinka on aphids three peaks. Signifies a high productivity on the snowy road plots. It is given to stand on a leather winter tire and a regular all-season.
