235/660 R460 Dimensiune echivalenta

[Flow]

Salutare, stiu ca nu este vorba de roti de off road, dar fiind o sectiune de discutii generale am zis ca totusi poate nu strica ridicata o problema de genul, care se poate regasi sub alta forma si la masinile de teren:

Am un set de jante originale audi a6 2005-2010 cu codul 4f0601023

Si dimensiunea anvelopelor 235/660 R460

Am cautat tot internetul o echivalenta si nimic, din toate putinele informatii par a fi pe 18 jantele, iar anvelopele nici cea mai mica idee

Ochiometric par 17, am masurat si alte jante, am avut tone de roti, efectiv nu reusesc sa ma dumiresc,

Stie cineva sa decodeze o dimensiune echivalenta a anvelopei/jantei?

Dimensiunile par a fi in mm:

-235 mm latime

-660 mm diametru total

-460 mm diametrul jantei

 

Daca este asa, par a fi echivalente cu 235/55 R18

 

Zic si eu...:old

Dupa codul jantei par 18, din ce am citit se poate folosi doar aceasta dimensiune, 660 R460, nu cred ca se poate pune dimensiune normala.

Daca are cineva mai multe info, daca a incercat cineva sa puna anvelope normale.

@Teddy in teorie asa pare, dar ochiometric par mai mici de dimensiunea asta, masurate cu ruleta sunt apropiate de 17

Ce am mai citit, sunt runflat, s a folosit pe multe masini/audiuri blindate, am vazut ca s grele ca naiba, acum inteleg de ce

 

Unlike other manufacturers making run-flat tires, Michelin used a supportive ring made of polyurethane inside the tire.

 

WHEN Michelin introduced its PAX run-flat tire in the United States on the Touring edition of the 2005 Honda Odyssey minivan, it predicted that the innovative wheel-tire combination “could become as commonplace as fold-flat seats.”

 

But now the tiremaker is giving up on PAX. A Michelin spokeswoman, Lynn Mann, said the company was no longer trying to sell automakers the system, which Michelin once described as “the biggest technical innovation in the tire industry since we introduced the radial tire nearly 60 years ago.”

 

She said that Michelin decided to discontinue PAX because automakers had several other choices in run-flat technology and that there was “slow growth of the extended-mobility tire segment in general.”

 

Ms. Mann said complaints from some consumers and lawsuits about problems — including high replacement costs and difficulties getting the tires repaired — did not play a role in the decision. She said the tiremaker would continue to provide replacements and service to consumers who already had the tires.

 

With PAX, Michelin tried an approach quite different from other run-flat tires. Typically, this type of tire was designed with extra-strong sidewalls to help support the vehicle if the air escaped. With PAX, Michelin used a supportive ring made of polyurethane inside the tire. Michelin said the ring meant the sidewalls did not have to be so stiff, preserving ride comfort — yet if the tire went flat, the vehicle would still be safe to drive 125 miles at speeds up to 55 m.p.h.

But that inner-ring design made the PAX more difficult to repair, requiring special equipment to mount and dismount the tire. That equipment is available primarily at Michelin or Honda dealers. In several lawsuits and on some Web sites, consumers have complained about the difficulty of finding shops with the equipment to work on PAX; they also cite excessive tire wear and replacement costs as high as $1,600 for four tires.

 

Honda and Michelin officials have denied that consumers were misled. They have said that the PAX system delivered what was promised: the safety and convenience of being able to drive even with a punctured tire.

 

One class-action suit filed against Honda and Michelin last year in United States District Court in Los Angeles was dismissed. That decision is on appeal. Michelin and Honda are still facing a class-action suit in the United States District Court in Maryland. It consolidates class-action suits from Arizona, Illinois, New York and Florida. A judge has yet to grant that suit class-action status so it can proceed.

 

Honda is named in the suit because the PAX system was standard on the Touring edition of the 2005-7 Honda Odyssey minivan and is a $600 option on the 2008 model. A Honda spokesman, Chris Naughton, declined to say whether the 2009 Odyssey would offer PAX. The PAX system has been an option on the 2006-8 Acura RL luxury sedan; the 2009 RL coming this summer will not offer PAX, Mr. Naughton said. The PAX system was an option on the 2007 Nissan Quest minivan. Nissan is not offering it on the 2008 model.

 

Honda recommends that owners who have the PAX system not change to conventional wheels. Chris Martin, a Honda spokesman, said the Touring model’s suspension was tuned for the PAX tires and switching to conventional wheels “would compromise the ride and handling.”
