Does changing tires include the wheel hub?
1 Answers
Changing tires does not include the wheel hub. Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. They are mounted on metal rims to support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain driving performance. Tires are used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, and high and low temperatures during operation, thus requiring high load-bearing, traction, and cushioning performance. The wheel hub is the rotating part of the wheel steel inside the tire, connected by pillars to the wheel core. It is the metal component that supports the center of the tire and is mounted on the axle, also known as the rim, steel ring, wheel, or tire bell.
