What does the C mean on 235 65R16C tires?
Euro-metric Commercial Vehicle tires are identified with a C adjacent to their size designation’s rim diameter, such as 235/65R16C. It is very important the C suffix NOT be mistaken as the more traditional Load Range C used in conjunction with LT-metric tires. The difference between load ranges varies based on the tire size and brand. When comparing two tires of the same size and brand, a load range D tire will always have a greater weight capacity and psi rating than a load range C.The C-Type tire, on the other hand, is specifically meant as a commercial-rated tire, with a higher load rating for a given size than many LT tires. These C-Type tires will show the letter “C” immediately after the wheel diameter in the tire code.C-Type tires are tires designed for certain cargo vans, specifically meant to handle high loads. C-Type tires are designed to accommodate the heavy loads that modern, European-style cargo vans require. This C-Type tire classification originated in Europe and is now also on vehicles sold in North America.For example, a C load range indicates that a tire is equivalent to a 6-ply construction tire. This tire isn’t built with 6 plies, but rather one or two plies of equivalent strength.In the chart above, tire load ranges are arranged from a to g. a is equivalent to a 2-ply rating, while c equals a 6-ply rating. That ply rating (load range), when combined with the tire size, can tell you the load capacity. The higher the ply rating, the higher the carrying capacity.
What is the tire pressure for 235 65r16c?
Recommended air pressure: Minimum of 65psi. Recommended air pressure: Minimum of 65psi These tires ship directly from our Re-tread facility.
What is 235 65R16C?
The 235/65r16C is the size and the C on the end signifies they are Euro-Commercial tires which means the tires are appropriate for that vehicle based on the Euro standards. A is equivalent to a 2-ply rating, while C equals a 6-ply rating. That ply rating (load range), when combined with the tire size, can tell you the load capacity. The higher the ply rating, the higher the carrying capacity.Euro-metric Commercial Vehicle tires are identified with a C adjacent to their size designation’s rim diameter, such as 235/65R16C. It is very important the C suffix NOT be mistaken as the more traditional Load Range C used in conjunction with LT-metric tires.C1, C2, and C3 are European regulatory categories for vehicle tyres—C1 for passenger cars, C2 for light commercial vans, and C3 for heavy trucks. They determine how tyres are labeled for fuel efficiency, wet grip, and noise 1 .CP” after the rim diameter code denotes a commercial vehicle tyre for service on motorhomes. C” would denote a standard light commercial tyre.Load C and Load E are different ratings for your tire. It mostly refers to the ply on the sidewall of the tire. Load C has 6, Load E has 10. More ply on your sidewall means you can ideally withstand more severe punctures. It also adds a lot of weight.
Can you put C-rated tyres on a car?
Fitting C and LT tyres on cars Fitting heavier van tyres on cars and small vans (assuming they fit) definitely isn’t recommended for two reasons. First of all, C-type tyres may be designed to take a higher load, but they are also designed to travel at lower speeds. C comes from the French system for bicycle wheels sizing, which refers to the width of the tire. In addition, there are also A, B, D. The tire is from narrow to wide based on A-D. A tire is the narrowest, and 700D tire is the widest.The 235/65r16C is the size and the C on the end signifies they are Euro-Commercial tires which means the tires are appropriate for that vehicle based on the Euro standards.The 235/65r16C is the size and the C on the end signifies they are Euro-Commercial tires which means the tires are appropriate for that vehicle based on the Euro standards.C range tires are generally a safe bet for smaller and medium-sized trailers, but if you suspect that your load capacity will exceed what your C range tires can safely support, you may want to consider D range tires.C-Type tires are tires that were specifically designed to maintain high loads. These high-load requirements are especially useful for certain cargo vans. The C-Type tire originally comes from Europe, but due to the increase in popularity of cargo vans, they are widely available in North American markets.
What is a tire load range C?
For example, a C load range indicates that a tire is equivalent to a 6-ply construction tire. This tire isn’t built with 6 plies, but rather one or two plies of equivalent strength. For example, a C load range indicates that a tire is equivalent to a 6-ply construction tire.Load range C and D refer to the weight capacity and air pressure level of tires, with D having a higher capacity than C.C Load Range Tires With a tire pressure of 50 psi, a C range tire with a diameter of 14” can support a load of about 1,700 pounds per tire.Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same size but it will not increase the capacity of the trailer.Light truck load ranges have letters B, C, D, E and F, and they have increasing maximum pressures. The lowest pressure is for B tires with 35 psi, and C has a pressure of 50 psi. The pressures increase in increments of 15 from 65 psi, 80 psi and 95 psi for tires with load ranges of D, E and F.
