FAQ

To find out the size used on the vehicle, you can see the writing on the outer of the tire sidewall, you can reads as a code form (Symbol) numbers or letters containing information about the tire?s intended purpose, dimensions, load capacity and speed endurance of a tire, for example the code that written such as P265/70 R17 115 H we can know the size of the tires used, with the following definitions as follows:

• The 265 indicates this tire is 265 millimeters across from the widest point of its outer sidewall to the widest point of its inner sidewall when mounted and measured on a specified width wheel.
• The 70 indicates that this tire size?s sidewall height (from rim to tread) is 70% of its section width. The measurement is the tire?s section height, and also referred to as the tire?s series, profile or aspect ratio.
• The higher the number, the taller the sidewall; the lower the number (e.g 45), the lower the sidewall.
• A letter "R" identifies that the tire has a Radial construction in which the tire?s body plies "radiate" out from the imaginary center of the wheel.
• The 17 indicates the tire and wheel diameter designed to be matched together.
• The number "115" indicates The load capacity of a tire determines what weight each tire is able to carry. this number shown the weight capability?s of tire to carry is 1.215 kg.
• The letter "H" identifies Speed rating which indicated the maximum recommend speed of the tire. in this case the maximum recommended is 210 km/hours.

Tires is a vital part of vehicle, therefore you must be careful when you Choose tires which appropriate with the specifications and vehicle designation. Carefully when you read the tires code on your vehicle, if you read through, then you have made the first step in safety driving, to know how is your tire used if it is Appropriate to the type of vehicle, you can see from the Recommendations of the vehicle book manual owner, or you may also find a tire fit guide in these locations: The driver’s side door jamb, Inside your glove box door, or Within your gas tank hatch.

Speed rating means indicated the maximum recommend speed of the tire. The speed rating shows on the sidewall. Ex: speed rating “W” used to represent a maximum of 168 mph (270 kph). It’s critical that your performance rating and load index matches the original equipment specifications recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. You can always go up in performance rating, but you can never downgrade or you’ll compromise the handling and safety of your vehicle. When you choose "recommended" you will see the speed rating appropriate for your vehicle. Numbers in parentheses indicate quantity.

Each type of vehicle have maximum load varies based on the shape, size, weight and function. The load capacity of a tire determines what weight each tire is able to carry. The load rating is generally found after the diameter reading and before the speed rating on the sidewall marking. The formula is the higher load ratings, then the ability of tire to carry is higher. The following table shows what the weight that each index specification is able to carry:

Tire tread pattern for directional and asymmetrical have some rules of each mounting. Directional tire have arrow on the sidewall and usually marked with an arrow-shaped and written with "Rotation", while asymmetrical are those that the tread pattern on one side is different than the other side. They will always have something on the sidewall that says "THIS SIDE OUT" - or ?outside‘/’inside?. To Determine the direction of rotation are directional and properly mounted, you can see the sidewall of your tire, towards which arrow labeled "ROTATION" for the type of directional tire or label "OUTSIDE" for the type of tire asymmetrical, if the arrow pointing forward "rotation" or "Outside" in position pointed out then the tire properly mounted, but if the otherwise then the mounted is incorrect. If you selected directional tires and/or asymmetric tires, before installing them, match each tire and wheel to its final position on your vehicle.

There are several tips when we should change our tire immediately.

• The first step is measured the remaining groove depth tire, if the remaining groove depth is less than 1.6 mm then you have to replace the tire.
• Second step is to inspect the tire whether the tire have a crack on the sidewall.
• Check the tire whether it have a swollen tire on the tread area or on the sidewall.
• Last step is check the tread wear indicator on the tread area, Tread wear indicators - Cross ribs evenly spaced around the circumference of the tire in the main longitudinal tread grooves which become level with the tread surface when the remaining tread depth is down to approx. 1.6mm. Remaining Groove depth 1.6 mm is the most widely accepted minimum tread depth standard at which tires should be removed from service.

For best performance we recommend you to use the same size, brand and pattern. If the tires brand and pattern are different, it will be affect to performance, handling and stability.

Plus sizing wheels and tires is a popular trend among car enthusiasts. Adding inches to the wheel diameter for wider, low aspect ratio tires can increase your car’s performance capabilities including handling and stability. Some people will also plus size for the appearance. be sure to check vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations (found in owner’s manual or on door sticker). Interchangeability is not always possible because of difference in load ratings, tire dimensions, wheel well clearance and rim size.
