What are the functions of tires?
1 Answers
Tires serve the following functions: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle, bearing the load of the car, and transmitting forces and moments in other directions; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, thereby improving the car's power performance, braking performance, and passability; 3. Working together with the car suspension to mitigate the impact during driving and dampen generated vibrations; 4. Preventing severe vibrations and early damage to car components, adapting to the vehicle's high-speed performance, and reducing driving noise. Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery for ground rolling, usually mounted on metal rims.
