If it's not there, you can usually find it stamped into the side of the tyre, or sometimes on its centre cap. You'll also find the tyre width (from sidewall to sidewall) and aspect ratio (height vs width) down there. \r\rFor example, 195/62R15 has a width of 195mm and an aspect ratio of 62%. Higher numbers indicate more of an upright profile, taller in height than they are wide. The opposite is true for low numbers. These all come together to give your tyre's handling characteristic, known as the 'profile'.\r\rYou must be careful before fitting tyres to your vehicle to check the correct category. The role of tyre sidewall is important regardless of the tire size and wheel diameter.\r\rYou must keep a tab on the tread wear indicators to keep your tyres in good shape and condition. It is also recommended to read the service description for tyre pressure information, maximum inflation pressure, and maximum carrying capacity. \r\rYou can avoid tyre failure by properly inspecting your tyres for disappearing tread grooves and recommended tyre pressure.\r\rNowadays, radial ply construction tyres are manufactured to provide greater stability, performance and efficiency.\r\rIt is also recommended to check critical vehicle components to improve the performance of your vehicle\r","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What is meant by tyre profile?","text":"Now that you know what sidewall measurements mean, it's not hard to work out how different sidewalls react in different situations. A large sidewall will be soft and absorb bumps well, but with bad side-to-side stability. Smaller sidewalls will be stiffer, but less comfortable and more likely to twitch in quick directional changes - like when you're drifting.\r\rThe sidewall design also influences the way that the tyre will react when it's moving. For example, a diagonal-lug pattern acts like little 'fins' that grip into the road surface to give better cornering stability at speed. \r\rOn the other hand, straight-lug tyres are designed for good straight-line braking performance with high levels of comfort - but will lack grip at speed because there's no central locking mechanism to hold them together under load. The passenger car tyre is different from other types of vehicle tyres. \r\rYou must also consider reading vehicle's manufacturer documentation and vehicle owner's manual to further increase the performance of your vehicle. Apparently, the types and quality of tyres seems a simple process but there are many things to consider before buying a one for your vehicle.\r\rYou must check maximum speed rating, higher speed rating, maximum speed limit, load limits, load and speed capacity before making a purchase. Try to follow manufacturer recommendations if you are not familiar with the purchasing of tyres. \r\rAlways try to find relevancy between your vehicle specifications and manufacture recommendations.

It refers to any set of tyres with those three specific markings.\r\rThe first number tells the width of the tyre, in millimetres \r\rAspect ratio is an indication of how \"upright\" or \"aggressive\" a tyre's profile is. The lower the number, the more upright it is, so 70% would be very 'squat' and have good straight-line stability but poor cornering grip at speed. \r\rHigher numbers are more performance-orientated, with stiff sidewalls for better response to steering input. A 55% rating is quite common among standard road tyres and 45% at the lowest end will give you really sharp handling if your car can handle them.\r\rWhen you get above 80% aspect ratio, you're looking at either snow or off-road tyres. Very high profile tyres (100% or more) are only found on 4x4s, where ground clearance is important. If you see anything like this, then there's a good chance the tyre will be marked with the letter 'L' - indicating it has an asymmetric tread pattern designed for left-hand drive vehicles\r\rThe next two digits tell you the load index (a measure of how much weight each tyre can hold at its recommended pressure) and speed rating (the maximum safe speed when correctly inflated). \r\rThe former tells you what sort of car it fits - which should mean that your speedometer reading will match the rated speed.

Standard passenger tyres start with a code of 82T, while the next bracket is 86H - which means you can safely exceed 90km/h. At 95km/h you hit 97S, at 100km/h it's 109R and at 110km/h you're looking at 112V to 114V.\r\rTo make this even more confusing, some brands will have different speed ratings for tyres in different sizes or widths. You could have a set of G78-14 tyres that are rated up to 150 km/h but another manufacturer may rate them differently depending on their overall size.\r\rAlso note that speed rating isn't just about speed - it's also an indication of how much load your tyre can carry when inflated to its maximum pressure. So if your car's manual says that your tyres should be inflated to up to 1.4 bar (which you'll find written on the sidewall as something like: \"Max Pressure 1.4BAR\"), and they're a 110SR-rated tyre, then they can carry a maximum load of 1320kg at that pressure \r\rIf you inflate them to their maimum and put more than that weight in the boot, there's a good chance they'll fail at some point. Take a look at WorkSafe Queensland for more information on tyre inflation.\r\rMax Load Index is an indication of how much weight each tyre can hold when inflated to its maximum pressure, which also dictates how safe it is for each tyre to go beyond its recommended speed.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null}]}}],"categories":null},"localsearchCMSArticles({\"categoryName\":\"tyres\",\"size\":5})":{"__typename":"ArticleConnection","results":[{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleId":"70675300-8B26-774C-B3BB-1D50AE5A8689","articleTitle":"235 45r17 Tyres Price","urlSlug":"/guides/tyres/235-45r17-tyres-price","featureImageUrl":"https://www.localsearch.com.au/resources/articles/tyres/tyres-on-grass.jpg","wordCount":752}},{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleId":"29B89E33-CB9A-3843-9436-E89D695D55B5","articleTitle":"Tyre vs Wheel in Australia","urlSlug":"/guides/tyres/tyre-vs-wheel-in-australia","featureImageUrl":"https://www.localsearch.com.au/resources/articles/tyres/blurry-red-hatchback.jpg","wordCount":1450}},{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleId":"81FE6575-FFA1-204E-AF53-0E91AD0E4849","articleTitle":"Tyre Prices in Australia","urlSlug":"/guides/tyres/tyre-prices-in-australia","featureImageUrl":"https://www.localsearch.com.au/resources/articles/tyres/repairman-carrying-car-tyre.jpg","wordCount":1361}},{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleId":"E54F86B0-573B-F543-AFC5-C0B9E0369A08","articleTitle":"How To Check Tyre Pressure ","urlSlug":"/guides/tyres/how-to-check-tyre-pressure","featureImageUrl":"https://www.localsearch.com.au/resources/articles/tyres/car-tyre-pressure-check.jpg","wordCount":1133}},{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleId":"3335E388-37B9-2B4B-BC37-D81F6C83EDF1","articleTitle":"What Are Run Flat Tyres?

It assists in and dust removal of the vast majority of the sawdust created by power tools, helping to protect you from fine dust particles that can enter your lungs and affect your health. Not only that, but dust extraction also prevents the spread of fire, which may be caused when leftover particles of sawdust are ignited. It is essential to use a dust collector to remove as much dust as possible.\r\rDust collectors are widely used in most large factories to remove harmful particulates at workshops across the world. It is one of the best ways to protect both workers and machines.\r\rIt is now common to use different class dust extractors when cutting, sanding or polishing wood, masonry or metal. The following categories of dust are based on particle size. These are Class L, M, H, I, and H. \r\rDust extractors are also helpful to improve air flow by removing large quantities of dust created by power drills from the floor and surfaces and collecting them in a filter bag. As well as this, they can also be used to remove sawdust created by routers and sanders.\r\rThe extraction tube is made of plastic or metal, which directs air flow into an electric motor through blast gates that suck it up and keep it flowing. This air is then directed into a clear hose and then into a filter bag. For higher efficiency, get a strong and long life filter bag that can carry large quantities of dust.\r\rTransferring the fine dust to the dust collector should ensure that all material is kept in close contact with the tube walls, so there is little room for dust build-up. The machine should also be moved across the surface of the work piece at roughly the same speed as this will give the most efficient result and cover a large space.\r\rIt is important to note that a dust collector should always be used with attached hoses and a suitable filter bag to achieve the highest quality results.

","text":"A dust extractor works by attaching to the front of your power tool and collecting almost all of the airborne wood dust from the surface and floor. This air is then diverted through a pipe until it reaches the dust extractor's cyclone, where its particles are then separated from the air to be collected.\r\rThe collected dust is then stored in a container in front of the machine, leaving you ready to carry on with your work without any interruption. This container can be emptied at regular intervals or when it is full. Also, you can get a portable dust collector for your stationary tools.\r\rThere are two types of dust extraction systems, wet and dry systems. The difference between these two is in their dust collection method. The wet dust collection system will collect the particles in water; this stops dust from entering the air. On the other hand, a dry system collects dry materials using filter bags to capture dust and prevent it from entering the air. In this way, both systems make excellent dust extractors and also work as air purifiers.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What are the benefits of using a dust extractor?
