What are the different types of tires?
1 Answers
The types of tires are as follows: 1. By structure: They can be divided into radial tires and bias tires. 2. By tread pattern: They can be divided into four types: rib pattern tires, transverse pattern tires, mixed pattern tires, and off-road pattern tires. 3. By vehicle type: They can be categorized into PC—passenger car tires, LT—light truck tires, TB—truck and bus tires, AG—agricultural vehicle tires, OTR—off-the-road tires, ID—industrial vehicle tires, AC—aircraft tires, and MC—motorcycle tires. 4. By size: They can be divided into full-size spare tires and non-full-size spare tires. Full-size spare tires have the exact same specifications as the other four tires on the vehicle and can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. Non-full-size spare tires have slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, so they can only be used as a temporary replacement, must be installed on non-driving wheels, and should not exceed a speed of 80 km/h. 5. By pressure resistance: There is the zero-pressure tire. Zero-pressure tires are also known as run-flat tires, commonly referred to as 'run-flat tires.' Compared to regular tires, zero-pressure tires do not lose air or lose air very slowly when punctured, maintaining their shape and keeping the tire bead securely fixed to the rim, allowing the vehicle to continue driving safely to a repair station for a long or short period of time.
