Understanding the Tyre Size Markings"First, let's start with tyre size. You can find this information printed on the sidewall of your tyre. It usually looks something like this: 195/65R15 91T. Here's what each part means:195: This is the tyre's width in millimeters. It tells you how wide the tyre is from sidewall to sidewall.65: This is the aspect ratio. It's a percentage that tells you the height of the tyre's sidewall in relation to its width. So, in this case, the sidewall height is 65% of the tyre's width.R: This stands for radial construction, which is the most common type of tyre construction today.15: This is the diameter of the wheel rim in inches.91T: The first part, 91, is the load index, showing the maximum weight the tyre can support. The second part, T, is the speed rating, indicating the maximum speed the tyre can safely handle.
Load Index and Speed Rating"Next, let's dive deeper into the load index and speed rating:
Load Index: Every tyre has a load index, which tells you the maximum weight the tyre can safely carry. For example, a load index of 91 can carry up to 615 kg per tyre. Make sure your tyres are suited to your vehicle's weight and load requirements.Speed Rating: The speed rating, denoted by a letter like T, H, V, or Z, tells you the top speed your tyres can handle. T means a top speed of 190 km/h. It's essential to choose tyres that match your driving style and vehicle performance.
Tyre's Manufacturing Date"One of the most critical pieces of information is the tyre's manufacturing date. You can find this in a four-digit code, usually after the letters 'DOT' on the sidewall. The first two digits represent the week, and the last two represent the year. For example, 1724 means the tyre was manufactured in the 17th week of 2024. Always check the manufacturing date when buying new tyres, as older tyres, even if unused, can become less safe over time.
Additional Tyre Information"Aside from the size, load index, and manufacturing date, you may find other important symbols on the tyre.
Treadwear Indicator: Some tyres have a 'Treadwear' number which gives you an idea of the tyre's longevity.Traction Grade: This tells you how well the tyre performs in wet conditions. Grades are rated from AA (best) to C.Temperature Grade: This is the tyre's resistance to heat and is rated A, B, or C.
That's a quick breakdown of how to read the information on your tyre. Knowing this can help you make informed decisions when buying tyres or checking the condition of your current ones.
