What are the components of a tire?

Tire structure consists of tread, sidewall, shoulder, nylon cap ply, steel belt, carcass ply, and inner liner. Automobile tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working together with the suspension system to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness. They also maintain excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving traction, braking, and off-road capability while bearing the vehicle's weight. The crucial role of tires in automobiles is increasingly being recognized. Passenger car wheels generally use radial tires. Radial tire specifications include width, aspect ratio, inner diameter, and speed rating symbols. For example, a tire marked 195/60R14 indicates a width of 195 millimeters between the sidewalls, an aspect ratio of 60, "R" standing for RADIAL (indicating a radial tire), and 14 being the inner diameter in inches. Some tires also display speed rating symbols represented by letters P, R, S, T, H, V, Z indicating respective speed limits. Tire maintenance: Develop a habit of regular tire inspections; Maintain proper tire pressure; Routinely clean debris from tread grooves; Regularly check tire wear conditions; Pay attention to road conditions while driving.
