Excluding punctures or serious injuries caused by some accidents, tires need to be replaced when they reach a certain mileage and age. But there are so many tire products on the market, how can you choose a high-quality tire that is more suitable for your car? This requires car owners to have a clear understanding of the tire specifications. Considering that many novice car owners are really not clear about this, this article has sorted out the explanation of the tire specifications of the third generation of Goodyear Imperial Ride, which is popular in the tire market, and you can refer to it, so that the subsequent purchase of tires is more convenient.
There are more than 10 kinds of specifications for Goodyear Royal III, which are suitable for Audi A6L, Mercedes-Benz E-class, Volvo S60, Lexus ES, Cadillac CT6 and other models, specifically with [215 55R17 98W] to explain the tire specifications
The first number, "215", represents the width of the tire. Generally speaking, the wider the tire, the greater the contact area with the ground, which can produce more friction, and the driving will be smoother and the braking effect will be better if the material and pattern are the same.
The second number, "55", represents the aspect ratio, which is the percentage between the height of the tire section and the width of the tire section (100% of the tire width of the tire thickness). The larger the aspect ratio, the thicker the tire wall, the more air is stored in the tire, the stronger the cushioning capacity, and the higher the comfort, while the smaller the aspect ratio, the opposite is true.
The letter "R" is the first letter of the English radial tire, which means radial tire, which is generally used in family cars on the market today.
The third number, "17", represents a rim diameter of 17 inches, which is an important parameter to pay attention to when buying tires.
The fourth number, "98", represents the load index, and the higher this number, the stronger the pressure capacity of the tire.
The last letter "W" stands for the tyre's maximum speed of 270 km/h. It is divided into different grades such as A-Z, and the lower the letter, the better the performance of the tire, and the higher the speed it can carry.
After understanding the explanation of tire specifications, you can more easily choose the tire that is suitable for your car. However, if you want to choose a tire with stronger performance, you also need to pay attention to its grip, shock absorption performance and noise reduction performance, etc., and the Goodyear Imperial III performance in these aspects is remarkable.
It features a new tread grip formula with a high content of silicone and special resins, allowing the tires to conform closely to the road surface during driving. At the same time, its tread is also designed with high-density knife grooves, and its large number of bite edges can effectively drain the grip. The combination of these two designs results in a greatly improved grip of the entire tyre, which can be driven smoothly on slippery roads and braked in time.
In addition, the Goodyear Imperial III also has a built-in comfort cushioning layer with a new formula, which completely wraps the inside of the tire, which can effectively reduce tire noise while fully filtering out various road bumps, so that the owner can drive more comfortably.
For car owners, it is inevitable to replace car tires, so everyone should understand the explanation of tire specifications and parameters, so that the later replacement can be smoother. On this basis, we should not forget to pay attention to the performance advantages of tires, and try to focus on tire products such as Goodyear Imperial III that have the advantages of strong grip, low noise, and excellent cushioning, because such tires can not only improve driving safety, but also ensure driving comfort.
