What is the impact of tire performance on vehicle operation?
1 Answers
Tire performance affects vehicle operation by enhancing its power, handling, and off-road capability. The structure and performance of the tire itself also directly influence the vehicle's safety and fuel efficiency. The functions of tires are as follows: 1. Load-bearing: Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the load of the car. 2. Torque: Transmitting traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the vehicle's power, braking, and off-road performance. 3. Protection: Preventing severe vibrations and premature damage to vehicle components, adapting to high-speed performance while reducing noise during driving, ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on metal rims, designed for ground contact and rolling, and are highly wear-resistant.
