We are going to reveal the secret number about LOAD INDEX AND SPEED RATING

LOAD INDEX AND SPEED RATING

Example: P225/50/R17 98H

The load index and speed rating, or service description, are the numbers that follow the tire size.

The load index tells you how much weight the tire can support when properly inflated. Load indices range from 75 - 105 for passenger tires, with each numeric value corresponding to a certain carrying capacity. The carrying capacity for each value can be found on a load index chart. On each U.S. passenger car tire, the load limit is listed in pounds. European tires have the load limit listed in kilograms and sometimes pounds.

H Speed ratings are represented by letters ranging from A to Z. Each letter coincides to the maximum speed a tire can sustain under its recommended load capacity. For instance, S is equivalent to a maximum speed of 112 mph. Even though a tire can perform at this speed, Continental Tire does not advocate exceeding legal speed limits.

Thanks everybody for coming back to my blog. Next week, we'll reveal the average cost for oil change and we'll compare the costs depending on different car company.

I really hope to see you guys next time!

The Secrets of Tire Numbers (Part 1)

Today, we are going to let you know about the the secrets of tire numbers we are introducing how we can read numbers on your tire to figureout the size of the tire.

TIRE SIZE

Example: P225/50/R17 98H

P identifies your tire as a Passenger Tire. The P stands for PMetric. If your tire size starts with LT rather than a P than it identifies the tire as a Light Truck tire.

225 identifies the tire section width, which is the measurement of the tire from sidewall to sidewall in millimeters. This measurement varies depending on the rim to which it is fitted.

(There are 25.4 millimeters per 1 inch.)

50 is the two-figure aspect ratio. This percentage compares the tire's section height with the tire's section width. For example, this aspect ratio of 50 means that the tire's section height is 50% of the tire's section width.

R indicates the construction used within the tires casing. R stands for radial construction. B means belted bias and D stands for diagonal bias construction.

17 The last dimension listed in the size is the diameter of the wheel rim, which is most often measured in inches.

Thanks for being my blogger. Next week, we are going to keep on this topic which is about secret numbers of tire. See you next Friday!

Car Blog published

HELLO!! My name is Bruce. There’s one more person who supports me to run this blog, my assistant Tim. we epen this blog about car and named what you know is your power!

This blog will be about basic knowledge of car. we, introduce parts of car, how 18to keep your car in great condition, how to fix or treat your car on small problems or damages such as filling up the windshield fluid by themselves, checking on the tire air pressure simply with a small tool and filling up the air on the tires.

Don’t abandon your garage anymore. we are going to keep you working on your car in simple directions that we will provide.

we will provide the average repair cost on certain problems. so this is our plan. we are going to travel repair shop and find out the average repair cost. for example, we are going to get a quote for a oil change from 10 different repair shop in San Diego and gather those qoutes and provide you the average repair cost. especially, most women are afraid of going to a repair shop with the car problem. why? because they think they are more likely to be ripped off and overcharged things and this thought makes you hesitant to go to repair shop alone. we are going to get rid of your hesitance.
