Däcksdimensioner

Däcksdimensioner, often referred to as tire size, provide crucial information about a tire's specifications. This information is typically found on the sidewall of the tire itself. The standard format for displaying däcksdimensioner is a series of numbers and letters that denote the tire's width, aspect ratio, construction type, rim diameter, and load index.

The first number represents the tire's width in millimeters. Following this is a slash, and then the aspect ratio, which is the tire's sidewall height as a percentage of its width. For example, a 55 aspect ratio means the sidewall height is 55% of the tire's width. The next letter indicates the tire's construction. 'R' signifies radial construction, which is the most common type for modern vehicles.

After the construction type, a number denotes the rim diameter in inches, which is the diameter of the wheel the tire is designed to fit. Finally, a two- or three-digit number represents the load index, indicating the maximum weight the tire can carry. Sometimes, an additional letter or two follows the load index, representing the speed rating, which specifies the maximum speed at which the tire can be safely operated. Understanding däcksdimensioner is essential for selecting the correct tires for a vehicle, ensuring safety, performance, and proper fitment.
