Product Description

Tire nuts are essential components specifically designed to securely fasten the outer wheel hub of your vehicle. These specialized nuts play a critical role in wheel safety and functionality, and here we present a comprehensive overview of their significance:

1, Function and Importance

The primary function of tire nuts is to firmly anchor the wheel to the axle or hub, ensuring the wheel remains secure during normal driving conditions. This security is vital in preventing potential accidents or damage. Properly tightened tire nuts are fundamental to the safety of both the vehicle and its passengers. If a nut is inadequately tightened, it can result in vibrations, uneven tire wear, and in severe situations, the wheel may detach while driving.

2, Types and Specifications

1. Type:

Standard Nut: Known as the regular hex nut, this is the most prevalent type, constructed typically from carbon steel or stainless steel and characterized by its six identical faces. Suitable for a wide range of applications, these nuts are commonly used to secure tires as well as other components.

Special Design Nuts: Modern wheel nuts often feature unique designs or patterns (such as flower key drive or star shape) requiring specialized tools for removal, thus offering enhanced anti-theft protection.

2. Specifications:

Tire nuts come in various specifications, primarily categorized by nut diameter and shape. Common diameters include M6, M8, M12, M14, M20, M24, and M30, with specific sizes tailored to different vehicle models. For instance, Japanese and Korean vehicles typically use 21mm nuts, Volkswagen models often use 17mm, while Honda vehicles usually have 19mm nuts.

In terms of shape, nuts can be hexagonal, square, butterfly, crown, round, cap, or knurled. Car tire screws are generally available in sizes of 17mm, 19mm, 21mm, and 22mm, contingent on vehicle model specifications.

3, Characteristics and Structure

1. Characteristics:

Compared to standard hex nuts, tire nuts are typically thicker and feature finer threads, with thread pitches around 1.5 millimeters or 2.0 millimeters. The shape is predominantly equilateral hexagonal, with a taper at one end. Some designs incorporate a step inside the taper to accommodate nylon washers for locking, while others do not. In certain models, the tapered region of the wheel hub nut includes a flange design.

The tire nuts are generally equilateral hexagonal, tapering at one end. Some include a step inside the taper for nylon washer placement, enhancing the locking mechanism, while others might not feature this step. Additionally, certain wheel hub nuts incorporate flange designs within the tapered region.

2. Structure:

The structure of tire nuts is straightforward, comprising screws, nuts, and optionally washers. The nut's role is to secure the wheel to the hub by engaging with the screw threads, ensuring stability and safety.
