What are the material components of car tires?
1 Answers
The material components of car tires are rubber and carbon black. Since the main component of most car tire materials is natural rubber or synthetic rubber, carbon black must be blended into the rubber to enhance the rubber's hardness, strength, and wear resistance, which are required for tire manufacturing. Tire classifications are as follows: 1. By vehicle type: They can be roughly divided into 8 types. Namely: 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; MC - Motorcycle tires. 2. By size: (1) Full-size spare tire: The specifications of a full-size spare tire are exactly the same as the other 4 tires on the vehicle, and it can replace any tire that is temporarily or permanently unusable. (2) Compact spare tire: The diameter and width of this type of spare tire are slightly smaller than the other 4 tires, so it can only be used as a temporary replacement and must be used on non-driving wheels, with a maximum speed not exceeding 80km/h.
