What brand is steel-padial tire?
2 Answers
steelpadial is not a tire brand. 'steel' means steel wire, and 'padial' refers to radial tires. All-steel radial tires: The carcass and belt layers are made of steel cord, generally used for heavy-duty and construction machinery vehicles. Fiber radial tires: Its carcass and belt layers are all made of rayon or other fiber cords, with belt layer cords using low-elongation cords. This type of radial tire is generally used for low-speed cars or tractors. Semi-steel radial tires: The carcass is made of rayon or other fibers, while the belt layer uses steel cord. This type of radial tire is generally used for cars or light trucks, such as buses.
As a veteran mechanic with decades of experience handling tens of thousands of tires, I've never come across the brand 'steel-padial'. I suspect it might be a spelling confusion. You see, 'Steel Radial' refers to the construction type of steel-belted radial tires, not a brand name. If you see this lettering on the sidewall of your tire, it's most likely part of the specifications. I recommend taking a photo of the tire and sending it to me. Brand logos like Michelin or Bridgestone are always clearly marked on tire sidewalls. Nowadays there are too many off-brand tires with thin rubber layers that easily bulge, which is extremely dangerous at high speeds. Last year, a customer who opted for cheap unknown-brand tires ended up with a blowout on the highway - this is one area where you really shouldn't cut corners.
