What are the differences between steel wire tires and nylon tires?
1 Answers
Nylon tires and steel wire tires have the following differences: 1. Price difference: The price of steel wire tires is nearly twice as expensive as nylon tires. 2. Material difference: The main material of nylon tires is nylon, while the main material of steel wire tires is steel wire. 3. Structural difference: Nylon tires have a bias-cross structure, while steel wire tires have a radial (vertical cross) structure. Additional information: The following are the advantages of steel wire tires: 1. Larger contact area: A larger contact area provides better adhesion, less tread slippage, and lower unit pressure on the ground, resulting in reduced rolling resistance and longer service life. 2. Thicker tread: The tread is thicker and reinforced with a sturdy belt layer, making it less prone to punctures; the minimal deformation during driving can reduce fuel consumption by 3% to 8%. 3. Fewer cord layers and thinner sidewalls: Due to fewer cord layers and thinner sidewalls, steel wire tires have greater radial elasticity, better cushioning performance, and higher load capacity.
