Xl in gumi what does it mean. Tire marking. Deciphering the index of maximum interest

If the tire is not indicated (for example, 185 / R14С), it means that it is 80-82% more expensive and the tire is called a full profile. Stronger tires with such markings sound like zastosovuyut on minibuses and light fittings, where the maximum load on the wheel is important.

R means a tire with a radial cord (in fact, at the same time, all tires can work like this).
It’s important to remember that R - means the radius of the tire, but also the radial design of the tire. The more diagonal design (indicated by the letter D), but in the rest of the hour it is practically not allowed, the oscalls of the operational characteristics are markedly higher.

16 wheel (disk) diameter in inches. (It is the diameter itself, not the radius! The pardon has also been expanded). This is the “landing” diameter of the tire on the disk, either the internal size of the tire or the external disk may. You can read more about disk marking in the Disk Marking section.

H index of tire speed. If you want more wine, if you have more speed, you can drive on this tire, (in our case, ІС Н up to 210 km/h). Speaking about the speed index of a tire, I would like to note that the parameter of the tire maker guarantees the normal operation of the rubber in a stable Russian car with the specified speed for a decade.

Speed ​​index table:

94 interest index. Tse rіven marginally admissible navantazhennya on one 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 94,670 kg.). For minibuses and small vans, this parameter is very important and it is necessary to take care of it.

Table of indexes of the busbar:

Respect!

The driving index in the table is indicated on one wheel of the car. For driving the maximum allowable wheel of a car, it is necessary to multiply the maximum wheel load of one wheel by the number of wheels (for example, for a passenger car, it is necessary to multiply by 4).

American designation: standardization (deciphering)

Establish two different markings for American tires.

Persha is more similar to European, only the letters "P" (Passanger - for a passenger car) or "LT" (Light Truck - light vantage) are put in front of the standard size. For example: P 195/60 R 14 or LT 235/75 R15.

І І іnsha marking of tires, as a matter of principle vіdrіznyaєtsya vіd єvropeiskoї.

For example: 31х10.5 R15

31 - current tire diameter in inches.
10.5 - tire width in inches.
R - tire of a radial design (older models of tires were with a diagonal design).
15 - tire inner diameter in inches.

Seemingly, as if we didn’t take to respect the inches that are unknown to us, then the American marking of tires is logical and understandable, in vіdrіznyaє vіd evropejskoї, de vysota profile of the tire is inconsistent and lie in the width of the tire. And here everything is simple with deciphering: the first figure of the world type is the outer diameter, the other is the width, the third is the inner diameter.
To change one type of tire size in another, you can use the tire calculator in inches.

Colored tags are vicorated for marking

Zhovta marking on tires(Round or tricutna mark) on the sidewall means an easier place on the tire. When installing a new tire on a disk, it is necessary to add a label to the most important space on the disk. Ring out those places, de creak nipple. Tse allow you to polypshit balancing the wheel and put the valets of a smaller wag.
On tires with a run, the marking is not so relevant, the chips, as a rule, when the tire is worn out, the balance is shifted.

Red dot on the tire- means the place of maximum power heterogeneity, showing that it sounds like different parts of different versions of the tire when prepared. Qi heterogeneity is an absolutely normal phenomenon, and stench is in all tires. Ale, they sound with red specks of only those tires, like to go to the first complete set of cars, so if the car leaves the factory.

The red mark should be combined with the white marks on the disks (the white marks on the disks can be set mainly for the primary configuration of the car), which indicate the nearest place to the center of the wheel. It is necessary to fight in order to ensure that the maximum heterogeneity in the tire was minimally indicated in Russia, ensuring a more balanced power characteristic of the wheel. In the event of an outstanding tire fitting, it is not recommended to pay attention to the marking of the tire with a red mark, but to wear a yellow mark, along with a nipple.

Marking - a white stamp with a number means the number of the inspector who conducted the final inspection of the tire at the manufacturing plant. It is worth trying to improve the quality control of products that are released.

colored wives sag on the tire tread, so that it would be easier to “recover” the tire in the warehouse. All models of tires and different types of tires have different markings. So, if the tires are in stacks in warehouses, it is immediately obvious that a given stack of tires has the same size and model. Zhoden іnshiy smyslovogo navantazhennya tsі kolorovі smuzhki on the tire can not be.

Additional information on the sidewall of the tire

XL or Extra Load the tire is reinforced, the load index is higher by 3 units, lower for larger tires of the same size.

M + S or marking tires M & S & nbsp (Mud + Snow) brud plus snow means that the tires are all-season or winter.

M & S is indicated on the bagatioh summer tires for the tires.

All Season or AS All season tires.
Aw (Any Weather)

The pictogram * (snіzhinka) of the gum is recognized for vikoristannya її in suvori winter minds.
Although there is no marking on the sidewall of the tire, then this tire is recognized for use only in summer minds.

Aquatred, Aquacontact, Rain, Water, Aqua or pictogram (parasol) special wood tires.

Outside and Inside asymmetrical tires. When installing, write Outside is to blame for the outer side of the car, and Inside is for the inside.

RunFlat, RSC (RunFlat System Component) RunFlat tires are tires that can be driven on cars with a speed of no more than 80 km / year with a FULL drop in the tire (in case of a puncture or a blow). On these tires, in fallow land according to the recommendations of the virobnik, you can drive from 50 to 150 km. Read more about RunFlat technology on the side of Tire RunFlat.
Different types of tire makers vikoristovuyut different knowledge of RSC technology. For example: Bridgestone RFT, Continental SSR, Goodyear RunOnFlat, Nokian Run Flat, Michelin ZP etc.

Rotation or arrow Tse marking on the sidewall of the tire means a straightened tire. When installing the tire, it is necessary to strictly trim the wheel wrap, indicated by the arrow.

Tubeless tire. With the presence of this writing, the tire can be painted only with the camera.
Tube Type means that the shoe cover is only to be used with a tube.

Max Load is the maximum allowable load on the leather wheel of a car, in kg.

Reinforced or the letters RF in the standard size (for example 195/70 R15RF) mean that the tire is reinforced (6 balls). Litera W in the world standard size (for example 195/70 R15C) designate a fitting tire (8 balls).

Radial ce marking on gum in standard size means that the tire is of radial design.
Steel means that there is a metal cord in the tire design.

The letter E (in a circle) is a tire for the European ECE (Economic Commission for Europe).
DOT (Department of Transportation, US Department of Transportation) is the American standard for water quality.

Temperature A, B or C temperature resistance of auto-gums at high temperatures on the testing stand (A is the best indicator).
Traction A, B and C - tire building up to galvanization on a wet roadway.
Treadwear is recognized by the mileage run in the povnyannі zі special standard test of the USA.

TWI (Tread Wear Indiration) - indicators of tire tread wear. Marking on the TWI wheel can also be done with an arrow. Indicators are rotated evenly in eight or six months for the entire amount of tire and show the minimum allowable tread depth. The wear indicator is visible at a 1.6 mm high lip (minimum tread value for light vehicles) and is located in the tread pit (as a rule, in the water grooves).
You can read more about car tire wear on the "Tire Wear" page.

How to recognize the date of tire preparation

For the purpose of marking the tire, there is a special marking on the її sidewalls, as it should be applied during the її bending.

The date of manufacture of the tire is written next to four digits in an oval (for example, 1805), the first two digits are the date of manufacture, the next two digits are made (in our case, the date is 2005).

Practically, leather spare parts for your machine may have their own marking (type of picker). Car tires are not blaming. To look at the back side of the tires, you can make anonymous notes that describe their characteristics and the meanings of those that need to be protected when choosing gumi. The widest range of branding is the specification for the world size, the swidden index and the number of tires. However, in this article we will talk about not less significant signs, which are also indicated on tires.

M+S (M&S)

Among motorists, the meaning of writing M + S (M & S) calls for the largest number of supercars. If you translate verbatim, then Mud & Snow - tse brud and snig. However, it does not mean that all tires with similar winter markings are approved for operation on snowy roads. M + S - tse vlasna classification of rubber tires. With any similarity, marking can be present both in summer and in all-season gum. And the axis of evidence that the tires are really wintery, serve as a graphic symbol for looking at the snowflakes on the aphids.

C (Commercial)

Car tires with these markings are approved for use on light-weight cars. On some tires, replace the symbol “C” with the inscription “LT”, which means: “Light Truck” (most often indicated without a middle in the standard). Shini s such markuvannyam mayut their perevagi. Among them: improved characteristics of vantageopidiomnost and universal type of tread. At the same time, a passenger car is constantly occupied, or it is operated in heavy minds, transferring tires to RF (Reinforced), XL (Extra Load) markings. Similar tires are reinforced with a reinforced frame.

ALL SEASON

Wrote ALL SEASON to talk about those tires that can be used throughout the season, regardless of the season. However, there are clear blames here. On the right, in that there are no such tires, they could save power at temperatures from -20 ° C to + 30 ° C. Therefore, the so-called all-weather tire is the first for everything, guma zm_schenim temperature regime її exploitation. The performance characteristics of such tires remain unchanged in the range of -10 ° C - + 20 ° C. As the temperature changes to -10 ° C, the tires lose elasticity, and when they move up to + 20 ° C, they become softer and richer.

ROTATION, OUTSIDE / INSIDE(Writing for tire installation)

Tires with straightening and asymmetric little treads may have additional markings, as if asked to help car owners to correctly install tires. Among similar writings:

• ROTATION- marking with an arrow, which indicates directly wrapping the tire at once with a small tread;
• OUTSIDE or Side Facing Out- write, what to talk about the outer side of the installation. When installing the tire, it is to blame buti on the outer side of the wheel;
• INSIDE or Side Facing Inwards- pointing to the inside of the unit.

Do not forget about those that the installation of tires requires high qualifications and professional knowledge of tire fitters. Our store site gives you a list of certified tire fittings.

About other writings:

With the method of improving the safety of a lot of tires, special wheels are installed on the car, so they can continue to move after piercing or a poor tire. At the same time, the most sophisticated technologies are used, and the tires are applied in the same way. At

Goodyear - tse RunOnFlat. EMT.

Continental - SSR.

Dunlop-DSST.

Michelin - ZP, ZP SR, RFT, PAX.

Nokian RunFlat.

Yokohama-ZPS.

Important sign on tires - abbreviation TWI or Tread Wear Indication(Translated as "tread wear indicator"). This marking is indicated on the surface of the development of indicators, as they represent small protrusions on the bottom of the tread grooves.

If you want to be instilled in the quality of used tires, varto bring respect also to recognition DOT / E. DOT.

DOT / E. DOT (U.S. Department of Transportation)- write, scho spіvvіdnosya s literal or alphanumeric code, which is assigned by the US Department of Transportation. We can confirm that this gum has been re-tested and tested, and also certified to the highest federal safety standard. The E sign indicates the official approval of the type of tires in accordance with the established Rules No. 30 of the UNECE. The middle of the same order: the number in the number, which indicates the code of the country, and the number, is described more than the number, as it indicates the number of the official confirmation.

You can find a lot of important technical information on the sidewalls of the tires, but it's not easy to get into them. So, here there may be present advances:

• TREADWEAR (wear resistance coefficient);
• MAX PRESSURE (maximum internal pressure);
• TEMPERATURE (temperature coefficient);
• SIDEWALL (warehouse, number of sidewall balls);
• PR (frame quality);
• TREAD (stock and number of balls in the tread cord), etc.

New European tire marking.

Following the recent investigations of fakhіvtsі provіdnіh єropejskih kraїn came to vysnovku, scho more buyers when choosing gumi for their own auto will operate alphabetic branding. To the very same tires, which are released from the linden of 2012, there are signs (in the form of Latin letters) of such indications as a seal on a wet road surface, acoustic comfort, opir stiffness. Let's go back to this marking more report.

1. Locking on wet road surfaces.

As you can see, the effectiveness of the chain of tires lie without a middle in the car itself and the minds of its operation. The galvanized track of cars with class A tires is shortened by up to 30% (on the basis of “brothers” class F). At that hour, like a galm_vny way of a “normal” car, which collapses at a speed of 80 km / year, speeds by 18 meters.

2. Acoustic comfort.

The black smuga on the pictograms shows the equal noise, the wheel shattered for an hour. The pictograms with black smugs indicate that the tire vibrates to a lot of noise, but does not exceed the European limit value.

3. Opir kochennyu.

Vitrata paliva, so very yak zcheplennya, without intermediary lie down in the model of transport safety and minds of yogo exploitation. So, more equipped cars with rubber class A save up to 7.5% of the cost, for cars with class G tires.

Do you want to choose a tire for your car, but is it bad to choose tires in branded tires? It's not a problem! In this section, we will help you to find out: what are the parameters of the tire, what do the stinks mean, and how is the tire suitable for your car.

Tire marking decoding.

195/65 R15 91 T XL

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".

If you want to put tires with a tire size of 205/65 R15, then it’s important not only to increase the width of the tire, but also the height! What is inadmissible in the majority of vipadkiv! (Because of the fault of the vipadkіv, if the offenses of these types of types are indicated in the books on the operation of the car). You can calculate the exact data on how to change the current wheel sizes in a special tire calculator.

If the tire is not indicated (for example, 185 / R14С), it means that it is 80-82% more expensive and the tire is called a full profile. Stronger tires with such markings sound like zastosovuyut on minibuses and light fittings, where the maximum load on the wheel is important.

R- means a tire with a radial cord (as a matter of fact, at the same time, all tires can work like this).

It’s important to know that R- means the radius of the tire, but also the radial design of the tire. The more diagonal design (indicated by the letter D), but in the rest of the hour it is practically not allowed, the oscalls of the operational characteristics are markedly higher.

15 - diameter of the wheel (disk) in inches. (It is the diameter itself, not the radius! The pardon has also been expanded). This is the “landing” diameter of the tire on the disk, either the internal size of the tire or the external disk may.

91 - interest index. Tse rіven marginally admissible navantazhennya on one 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 - 670 kg.). For minibuses and small vans, this parameter is very important and it is necessary to take care of it.

Table of indexes of the busbar:

T- tire speed index. If you want more wine, if you have more speed, you can drive on Danish tires, (in our mode ІС - Н - up to 210 km / h). Speaking about the speed index of a tire, I would like to note that the parameter of the tire maker guarantees the normal operation of the rubber in a stable Russian car with the specified speed for a decade.

Speed ​​index table:

Marking of American tires:

Establish two different markings for American tires. Persha is more similar to European, only the letters "P" (Passanger - for a passenger car) or "LT" (Light Truck - light vantage) are put in front of the standard size. For example: P 195/60 R 14 or LT 235/75 R15. І І іnsha marking of tires, as a matter of principle vіdrіznyaєtsya vіd єvropeiskoї.

for example: 31x10.5 R15(Compliant with European standard size 265/75 R15)

31 - the actual diameter of the tire in inches.
10.5 - tire width in inches.
R- tire of radial design (older models of tires were of diagonal design).
15 - tire inner diameter in inches.

Seemingly, as if we didn’t take to respect the inches that are unknown to us, then the American marking of tires is logical and understandable, in vіdrіznyaє vіd evropejskoї, de vysota profile of the tire is inconsistent and lie in the width of the tire. And here everything is simple with deciphering: the first figure of the world type is the outer diameter, the other is the width, the third is the inner diameter.

Added information is indicated in the markings on the sidewall of the tire:

XL or Extra Load- the tire has been strengthened, the index of interest is higher by 3 units, lower for larger tires of the same size. In other words, as this tire has a load index of 91 with the sign XL or Extra Load, it means that with a given index, the tire has a maximum load of 670 kg instead of 615 kg (see the table of tire load indexes).

M+S or marking tires M & S (Mud + Snow) - brud plus snow and means that the tires are all-weather or winter. M & S is indicated on the bagatioh summer tires for the tires.

All Season or AS all season tires. Aw (Any Weather) - Be it weather.

Pictogram * (snіzhinka)- Guma is recognized for vikoristannya її in suvori winter minds. Although there is no marking on the sidewall of the tire, then this tire is recognized for use only in summer minds.

Aquatred, Aquacontact, Rain, Water, Aqua or pictogram (parasol)- special wooden tires.

Outside and Inside; asymmetric tires, so it is important not to confuse what is the outer side, but what is the inner side. When installing, the Outside is to be blamed on the outer side of the car, and the Inside is to blame on the inside.

RSC(RunFlat System Component) - tires RunFlat - tires, on which it is possible to carry out traffic on cars with a speed of no more than 80 km / year with a FULL drop in the tire (in case of punctures or punctures). On these tires, in fallow land according to the recommendations of the virobnik, you can drive from 50 to 150 km. Different types of tire makers vikoristovuyut different knowledge of RSC technology. For example: Bridgestone RFT, Continental SSR, Goodyear RunOnFlat, Nokian Run Flat, Michelin ZP etc.

rotation otherwise, the arrow on the sidewall of the tire means a straight tire. When installing the tire, it is necessary to strictly trim the wheel wrap, indicated by the arrow.

Tubeless - tubeless tire. With the presence of this writing, the tire can be painted only with the camera. Tube Type - indicates that the shoe cover is only to be used with a camera.

Max Pressure; the maximum allowable pressure in the tire. Max Load - the maximum allowable load on the skin of a car wheel, in kg.

Reinforced or the letters RF in the standard size (for example 195/70 R15RF) mean that the tire is reinforced (6 balls). The letter C in the world standard (for example, 195/70 R15C) denotes a fitting tire (8 balls).

Radial ce marking on gum in standard size means that the tire is of radial design. Steel means that there is a metal cord in the tire design.

letter E(In a circle) - the tire is compatible with the European ECE (Economic Commission for Europe). DOT (Department of Transportation - US Department of Transportation) is the American standard for water quality.

Temperature A, B or C thermostability of auto-gummies at high speeds on a testing stand (A - the best indicator).

Traction A, B or C- the building of the tire to the galvanization on the watery roadbed.

Treadwear; vodnosny ochіkuvany kіlometrazh probіgu pіvnіnі zі special standard test of the USA.

TWI (Tread Wear Indication)- indicators of tire tread wear. Marking on the TWI wheel can also be done with an arrow. Indicators are rotated evenly in eight or six months for the entire amount of tire and show the minimum allowable tread depth. The wear indicator is visible at a 1.6 mm high lip (minimum tread value for light vehicles) and is located in the tread pit (as a rule, in the water grooves).

DOT- Coding of the picker's address, tire expansion code, certificate, date of issue (day / day).

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. On Russian roads, the wheels of the 65 series are less light, and lower - just crazy, Norm: 80.75.70.

R- radial cord construction, cord threads in the frame balls can be radial (meridional) stitching, to straighten from side to side,
14 - rim mounting size 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.

Below are the tables of indexes of profitability and speed:

It is possible to specify additional characteristics:
