Tire Specifications: Chengshan Sportcat CSC-6 215/65 R15 XL 100H

• Tire Type: Summer Tire
  • Purpose: Designed for high performance in warm weather, providing excellent handling, braking, and grip on both dry and wet roads. However, it is not suited for winter conditions with snow or ice.
• Tire Size:215/65 R15
  • 215: This is the width of the tire in millimeters. It means the tire is 215 mm wide from sidewall to sidewall.
  • 65: This number represents the aspect ratio of the tire’s sidewall height to its width. A 65 aspect ratio means that the sidewall height is 65% of the tire's width. So, the sidewall height is approximately 139.75 mm.
  • R: Indicates that this tire is a Radial construction, where the layers of the tire are arranged in radial layers (perpendicular to the center of the tire).
  • 15: The diameter of the wheel the tire fits, in inches. This tire is designed for a 15-inch rim.
• Load Index:100
  • 100 indicates the tire's load index, representing the maximum load capacity the tire can carry. In this case, the load index of 100 corresponds to a maximum load of 800 kg (1764 lbs) per tire. This is important for understanding how much weight each tire can support, especially when driving with a full load or when carrying heavy items in your car.
• Speed Rating:H
  • H indicates the tire's speed rating, which tells you the maximum speed the tire can safely handle under optimal conditions. The H rating corresponds to a top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph). This rating is typically found on performance-oriented tires for vehicles that require higher-speed capabilities.
• Extra Load (XL):
  • The XL marking signifies that this tire is designed for extra load capacity, allowing it to carry more weight than a standard tire. It is especially important for vehicles that are heavily loaded or used for long-distance trips with a full load of passengers or cargo.

Tire Performance Features: Chengshan Sportcat CSC-6 215/65 R15 XL 100H

• Wet Performance:
  • The tire features a B rating for wet grip. This indicates that the tire provides a high level of grip on wet roads, helping to maintain stability and reduce the risk of hydroplaning during rainy conditions.
• Fuel Efficiency:
  • The C rating for fuel efficiency means that the tire offers a balance between performance and fuel economy. It is not the most fuel-efficient tire, but it does provide a reasonable level of efficiency compared to other tires in the same category.
• Noise Level:
  • The external rolling noise rating of B is paired with a noise level of 72 dB, which is a moderate level of tire noise. A lower dB number would indicate quieter operation, but a rating of 72 dB is generally considered acceptable for everyday driving.
• Tread Pattern:
  • The Sportcat CSC-6 tire features a specialized tread pattern designed to optimize handling and traction. The tread is engineered to efficiently channel water away from the tire's contact patch, helping to maintain traction on wet surfaces.

Usage:

• Season: Summer (Optimal performance during warm, dry weather and moderate rain conditions).
• Not Suitable for: Cold temperatures, snow, or icy conditions, as summer tires lose traction in such conditions.

Tire Durability & Design:

• Construction:
  • The tire uses high-quality rubber compounds designed for durability and performance. These compounds help the tire maintain a long lifespan, resist wear, and deliver excellent traction and handling.
• Sidewall Construction:
  • Reinforced sidewalls provide added stability and resilience to the tire, especially when carrying heavy loads or when driving at higher speeds.
