What is the difference between R1 and r1w tires?
The R-1 designation is the standard tread depth. The tread depth of an R-1W tire is at least 20 percent deeper than the same sized R-1 tire. In simple terms, R-1W tires have a taller bar height, but all the other dimensions, such as overall diameter and rated load capacity, are the same between the R-1 and R-1W tires. R: Radial Tires R is for radial tires, the industry standard for most tires today. They have better road grip, lower rolling resistance for better gas mileage or electric range, ride comfort and durability than previous generations of tires.R” stands for the construction method of the tyre indicating the tyre is a radial tyre. The following two numbers (16) indicate the diameter of the wheel rim in inches. The next two or three numbers (94) indicate the load index of the tyre.
What’s the difference between R1 and R4?
Overview of R1 and R4 Tire Classifications R1 tires (ag/field tires): Deep, aggressive tread for soft field conditions. R4 tires (industrial tires): Moderate tread depth with a bar-lug design for balanced traction and durability. R1 tires, also known as agricultural or ag tires, are the standard workaholic tires used for farm tractors. Their treads feature large, widely-spaced lugs designed to generate maximum traction over challenging terrain (including mud and snow) without slipping or clogged. R1 tires are narrower than other types of tires.
Are R1 tires good in snow?
R1 tires, commonly known as agriculture tires, have large, deep lugs that offer excellent traction in deep snow. The aggressive tread pattern helps to bite into soft, loose snow, which is useful for clearing driveways and paths where snow tends to accumulate quickly. Pros: Superior grip in deep snow and soft terrain. If you want surefooted traction on winter’s most slippery roads, Studless Ice and Snow winter tires deliver when it comes to snow and ice traction.
