CHOOSE THE OFF-ROAD TIRE FOR YOUR CONVINIENCE.

In2tires recommends the placement of 4 identical tires on 4x4 vehicles (of the same brand, same structure, same designs, load and speed indexes), as well as respecting the recommendations of the car manufacturer.

In this sense, it is necessary to analyze the type of land of use, trying to define the annual proportions of road, gravel, shell, mud, earth, boulder, ambient temperature or even if it circulates over areas where there may be chemical spills.

4x4 tires can be classified by category of use according to the type of terrain for which they are suitable:

1. Family 4x4 tire: for family 4x4 traction sedans

• Reactive and ultra precise, both in curves and straight.
• Intended for use in the city and on the highway

2. Mixed tire: for 4x4 SUV vehicles

• More cropped structure and sharp design
• Reinforced structure and flanks
• Multi-purpose: as efficient on the road as in all terrain

3. Off-road off-road tire: for off-road use and postage

• Wide rubber studs
• Very high grooving percentage (50%)
• Depth of important sculpture: 13 to 17 mm
• Reinforced structure and flanks
• Extreme off-road benefits

PERFORM A DIMENSION TRANSFORMATION

What is it about?

In order to modify the use of the vehicle, to seek new features or simply to modify the overall appearance of the vehicle, some 4x4 drivers may wish to mount tires of different dimensions. 

The traffic code applies to 4x4 with all its rigor, so the change of dimensions must always be done in accordance with strict rules.

PRECAUTIONS

In2tires recommends that you respect these recommendations before making any change in the size of your tires:

·         The load index must be greater than or equal to that of the original tire and must be adequate to the maximum load per vehicle axle.

·         The speed index must be the same or higher for tires that do not have the M + S inscription. For tires with M + S inscription, the speed index can be lowered, provided that the label indicating the new speed index is placed on the vehicle.The vehicle must be equipped with 4 identical tires (same dimension, same brand, same sculpture, same rates of load and speed and same category of use) in order to avoid any mechanical problem in the transmission and to guarantee optimum performance.

·         Follow the recommendations of the car manufacturer.

·         Check that the new tires do not touch the mechanical parts or the body elements.

·         Make sure the assembled assembly (tire plus tire) does not protrude from the body

·         Check that the wheel is compatible with the tire dimension. Verify that the diameter, width of the tire and the pumping of the metal wheel (tire) can be adapted to the tire to be mounted in the transformation.

·         The dimensional transformation of a vehicle is regulated in all cases. It is important to consult a professional before making any changes.

HOW TO CALCULATE THE EQUIVALENCES?

Calculation rule: the new tire to be mounted, its exterior design diameter can vary from +/- 3% with respect to the original equipment.

Example:

for an original dimension 235/75 R 15

design outer diameter: 733 mm

The tire to be mounted must comply with:

max diameter Permissible: 733 + (733 x 3%) = 754 mm

min diameter Permissible: 733 - (733 x 3%) = 711 mm
