Everything you want to know about tires

All Highway tires are marked with a TIN (Tire Identification Number) or DOT code on the sidewall. This code tells you where and when it was made, and includes basic information about the tire’s construction, capacity and characteristics. It is a tire’s ID Code. The code starts with letters that tell you the manufacturing plant. […]

LOAD INDEX, SPEED INDEX, and LOAD RANGE Load Index Tires are specified by the manufacturer with a maximum load rating. Loads exceeding the rating can result in unsafe conditions that can lead to steering instability and even rupture. The load index refers to the load-carrying capacity of a tire, or how much weight a tire […]

Main functions of a tire To support a vehicle’s weight. The ability of a tire to carry large loads is of significant importance in the design of haul truck and loader tires. The way a tire carries a load is more complex than a simple model of the air pressure alone supporting the load. When […]

According to the investigation and statistics of the Tire Branch of China Rubber Industry Association, in 2021, China’s tire output was 697 million.According to Michelin’s 2021 Annual report, the global output of rubber tires reached 1.64 billion in 2021. Therefore, many factories are enormous and capable of producing tens of millions of tires per year, […]

Tire container-loading Methods Stuffing quantity per container has been a question for us before the order is placed. In the fact, quantity of tires that can be loaded into a 40HQ container depends on many factors on account of the impossibility of 100% space utilization. Among those factors, the most important ones are the size […]

Import duties, essentially taxes levied on imported goods, serve as a critical component of international trade. They are used by governments to control the economic impact of imported goods, protect domestic industries, and generate revenue. The rates can vary based on the product type, origin country, and destination market. Are you still not aware of the tariffs […]

When selecting tires for a vehicle, one of the most critical factors to consider is the load index. This numerical code, found on the sidewall of a tire, indicates the maximum weight a tire can safely support when properly inflated. Understanding the load index is essential for ensuring vehicle safety, performance, and longevity. This essay explores […]

OTR tire manufacturers use different tire compounds to guide what a tire should be chosen for a specific purpose. Each type of compound has its own features when it comes to resistance against heat build-up and cuts. Typically, there are mainly 3 types of compounds: A list of manufacturers’ Codes of compounds: AEOLUSA = Cut […]

Tire air pressure decreases naturally (little by little) It is generally accepted that air pressure in tires on a passenger car decreases by 5–10% (10–20kPa) every month.Air pressure decreases naturally Tire size:195/65R 15Starting pressure:220kPa(100kPa=1.0kgf/cm2) (A) Air pressure(kPa) (B) Decreases by 10-20kPa a month   Impact of low air pressure on fuel consumption According to material […]
