Recommendations for choosing tires (Honda Civic 7)

When choosing tires, pay attention to the markings. The geometric dimensions, load capacity and maximum speed must strictly comply with the manufacturer's recommendations. The landing diameter of the selected tire must match the landing diameter of the disk. Tires come in several types: road, universal (all season), winter, high cross-country ability. The type of tires is selected based on operating conditions.

Tire sizes. D - outer diameter, d - wheel rim seat diameter, H - tire profile height, W - profile width.

When replacing tires, use only tires of the same size and design as the recommended tires for your vehicle and with the same or greater load capacity.

Use of any other size or type of tires may seriously affect handling, comfort, speedometer/odometer accuracy, ground clearance, fuel economy, tire/chain clearance.

The following designations are possible in the marking:

185 - nominal profile width, expressed in millimeters. This size is selected based on the table "Tire markings and tire pressure" and must correspond to the tire size recommended by the manufacturer.

70 - the ratio of the height of the tire profile to its width, expressed as a percentage (%),

If this designation is absent, the ratio is 0.80...0.82.

This size is selected based on the table "Tire markings and tire pressure" and must correspond to the tire size recommended by the manufacturer.

R - designation of radial tire.

B - designation of diagonal tire. Radial and diagonal tires differ in the arrangement of the cord threads. Radial tires have lower rolling resistance and a longer service life compared to diagonal tires.

14 - tire seat diameter, expressed in inches. This size is selected based on the table "Tire markings and tire pressure" and must correspond to the tire size recommended by the manufacturer.

88 - conditional load index. It is selected based on the table "Tire Load Indexes". S - tire speed index. It is selected based on the table "Tire Speed Indexes".
