What is the structure of a tire?
1 Answers
Tire structure consists of tread, sidewall, shoulder, nylon cap ply, steel belt, carcass ply, and inner liner. Types of tires: Pneumatic tires are divided into two types based on their construction: tube tires and tubeless tires. Passenger cars commonly use tubeless tires. Depending on the arrangement of the carcass ply and cushion layer inside the tire, tires can also be classified into radial tires and bias-ply tires. Radial tires are widely used in automobiles. The sidewalls of tires are usually marked with this information. Functions of tires: Tires are in direct contact with the road surface and, together with the vehicle's suspension, help to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness. They also ensure strong adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving traction, braking, and off-road capability. Additionally, tires bear the weight of the vehicle.
