Selecting Tires

Use the user guide of your vehicle (car, motorcycle) as a reference for selecting the best and suitable tires for your vehicles. Usually a car or motorcycle tires already fitted the manuals.

Able to read the  tire codes, this is very important because the tire is also no expiration period, so do not underestimate the existing code on the side of the tire. The code on the side of the tire has a particular meaning from the year of manufacture to conformance with the vehicle speed setting. For example a tire 205/55/ZR16 with the code, it means the tire has a width of 205 mm palms, aspect ratio, thickness of 55%. For the Z code is
the code for the tire speed limit, which is the maximum speed for the tire-coded Z is greater than 240 km / hour. The code limits the maximum speed for each code is as follows: S code means the speed of the vehicle tires when used must be below 180 km / h, maximum vehicle speed Q code is 190 km / hour. H code is the maximum vehicle speed of 210 km / h, maximum vehicle speed V code is 240 km / h while the Z code is the highest speed that can exceed 240 km / hour.

Read the full specifications of the tires to be purchased such as tire size, rim size, tire width, diameter of the tire, tread depth and the maximum load. All this must be known so that the tire is used on the right vehicle will give you comfort in transport.
