What are the characteristics of radial tires?

[VonRafael]

Characteristics of radial tires: 1. Strong safety performance; 2. Long service life; 3. Reduced fuel consumption; 4. Thin sidewalls; 5. Large lateral deformation amplitude; 6. High manufacturing process requirements; 7. Weak shock absorption capability, prone to significant noise on the tread. Radial tires can be classified based on different materials into: all-fiber radial tires, semi-steel radial tires, and all-steel radial tires. All-fiber radial tires use rayon or other fiber cords for both the carcass and belt layers, with belt layer cords requiring low elongation, typically used in low-speed cars or tractors. Semi-steel radial tires use rayon or other fibers for the carcass and steel cords for the belt layers, commonly used in cars or light trucks. All-steel radial tires use steel cords for both the carcass and belt layers, applied in heavy-duty and engineering machinery vehicles.
