What are the types of tires?
2 Answers
Tire types include: 1. Structurally divided into radial tires and bias tires; 2. By tread pattern into rib pattern tires, transverse pattern tires, mixed pattern tires, and off-road pattern tires; 3. By size into full-size tires and compact spare tires; 4. By pressure into pneumatic tires and run-flat tires; 5. By vehicle type into passenger car tires, light truck tires, truck and bus tires, agricultural vehicle tires, construction vehicle tires, industrial vehicle tires, aircraft tires, and motorcycle tires. Tires are typically mounted on metal rims to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road surface, and ensure driving performance.
Having driven for several years, there are many types of tires. The most common are summer tires, which have deep treads for good water drainage and are suitable for high-temperature roads. In winter when it snows, you need to switch to winter tires, which have softer rubber for better grip on ice and tiny grooves for anti-slip. All-season tires can be used year-round, saving the hassle of changing tires, but their performance in snow and ice is not as good as specialized tires. SUVs or off-road vehicles are equipped with all-terrain tires, which have rugged treads for stability on muddy or gravel roads. High-performance tires offer quick acceleration, strong grip, and a thrilling experience on highways and corners, but they wear out faster. When choosing tires, pay attention to the season and road conditions—using the wrong tires in rain or snow can be dangerous. When getting new tires, check the tread depth and tire pressure; if it's less than 2mm, it's time to replace them, ensuring safety and extending their lifespan.
