What does 25×11 12 mean?
The ATV tires within this category are all available in the selected size; 25×11-12. The numbers 25-11-12 represent the dimensions of the tire. The first number is the height, the second number is the width & the third number is the diameter of rim that it will fit on. Tire diameter can vary slightly for each tire model. The listed diameters are from calculations based on the tire size. When changing tire sizes, we recommend staying within 3% of the diameter/height of the original tire.The first number is the height of the tire from top to bottom measured from the ground to the top center of the tire. The second number is the width of the tire from sidewall to sidewall, NOT the tread width. The third number is the wheel diameter. The tire size in our example has a wheel diameter of 16.The 3% rule says that your new tire’s total outside diameter should not change by more than ±3% compared to your current tire. If the increase or decrease is bigger than 3%, you risk problems like: Tire rubbing the frame or fork.
What does 25x8x12 mean?
Number = The overall height of the tire. Number = The overall width of the tire. Example: 205 / 55 It is given in millimetres and defines the distance between the inner and outer sidewall of the tyre. For example, 205 means that your tyre is nominally 205 mm wide. The second number is the relationship between a tyre’s sidewall height and the tyre’s width.
What’s the difference between 10 and 12 ply tires?
Load capacity remains the deciding factor. This difference makes 12-ply the smart choice for commercial hauling or consistent heavy-duty use, but unnecessary for light-duty applications. If you drive a ¾ ton, one ton or even larger pickup or SUV (or haul a trailer) then you require 10-ply tires. You might have heard about Load Range E tires, which are a 10-ply equivalent.Disadvantages of 10 Ply Tires Increased Fuel Consumption: The weight and construction of heavy-duty vehicles, along with higher rolling resistance, result in a 5-10% decrease in fuel economy.A Stiffer Ride Because of their tough sidewalls, 10 ply tires don’t absorb road bumps as well as lighter tires. That means you’ll feel more of the road—every crack, every pothole, every bump. For someone who drives mostly on paved roads or highways, this can make the ride feel rough and less comfortable.Standard for heavy-duty trailers, utility trailers, and some RVs. Built for heavier loads, commonly found on larger trailers and RVs. Heavy-duty tires designed to support very large, heavy loads, often found on commercial trailers, large RVs, and industrial applications.
What are 10 ply tires good for?
The “10 ply” label today refers to the tire’s load range—specifically, Load Range E. They are commonly used for trucks, trailers, and commercial vehicles. Load Range E) provide excellent load capacity, ride comfort, and puncture resistance. They’re highly versatile.Load Range E) handles 3,000 to 3,500 pounds per tire, while a 12-ply tire (Load Range F) manages over 4,000 pounds per tire.Call us at (800) 901-6003 for quick expert advice. For optimal performance, use 10-ply tires for smooth daily driving and moderate loads, which are comfortable and economical. Conversely, 12-ply tires are built to be more rugged, and hence the best choice for frequent heavy hauling and extreme off-road operation.Higher ply ratings indicate that the tire can support more weight, making it suitable for heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks, SUVs, and commercial vehicles. Durability: Tires with higher ply ratings are generally more durable and resistant to punctures and damage.These 10 ply truck tires for highways deliver the perfect balance of load capacity and ride comfort for drivers who demand reliable performance under heavy-duty conditions.
