Tires Information Help!

Hi... here's something useful for those who wishes to know more about their vehicle's tires information.

The tire specifications are usually as follows: 195/55/R15 where

195 = 195mm is the tire's section width which is measured from the inner sidewall to the other sidewall.

55 = tire size's sidewall height, so for this case, it is 55% of 195mm

R15 = indicates the rims diameter..in this case..it is a 15" rims construct.

to read more!

Next, comes the manufacture date of the tires, which can be found on the sidewall.

a 2607 indication on the side wall means the tire was made on the 26TH WEEK OF YEAR 2007. So the first 2 digits indicate the production week of the year and the last 2 digits indicate the year of manufacture.

Always remember to choose new tires!

Information about CNG in Singapore

Here's some update for those interested in CNG conversion or driving CNG converted cars in Singapore. As of Feb 2008, there are 3 CNG stations in Singapore:

1) Jurong Island
2) Mandai
3) Jalan Buroh

And the incentive of fitting a new car with CNG technology is that there is a 40% rebate of your car's OMV.

So, actually, the rebate will probably pay for the CNG conversion!
