2. Tires
Perform two basic functions:
•Act as a soft Cushion between
the road and the metal wheel.
•Provide adequate traction (friction)
with the road surface.

3. Tires
Parts
•Beads two rings that are made of steel wire and encased in rubber.
They hold tire side walls snugly against the rim.
•Body Plies rubberized fabric and cords wrapped around beads.
Form carcass or body of the tire.
•Tread outer surface of the tire that contacts the road.

4. Tires
Parts
•Sidewall outer part of the tire that extends from
the bead to the tread. Marking on the sidewall
provides the information about the tire.
•Liner thin layer of rubber that is bonded to
the inside of the plies. It provides a leak proof
membrane for tubeless tires.
•Belts used to strengthen the body plies and
and stiffen the tread. They lay between the
tread and plies.

6. Tire Construction
Bias Ply Tires
•The plies run at an angle from
bead to bead.
•One of the oldest design.
•Does not use any belts.
•Allows body of the tire to flex easily.
•Improved cushioning, hence smooth ride on rough roads.
•Weakness of Bias-plies is that it reduces traction at high
speeds and increase rolling resistance.

7. Tire Construction
Belted Bias Tire
•Bias ply tires with belts added to
increase tread stiffness.
•Belts and plies run at different angles.
•Belts do not run around the sidewalls,
they lay under the tread area only.
•Provides smooth ride and good traction.
•Offers some reduction in rolling resistance over a bias ply tire.

8. Tire Construction
Radial Ply Tire
•Plies running straight across from
bead to bead, with stabilizer belts
directly beneath the tread.
•Has a very flexible sidewall and a
stiff tread, giving it a very stable footprint.

9. Benefits of Radial Tire
• Flexible sidewalls.
• Reduced fuel consumption due to less rolling
resistance.
• A softer ride because of the layout of the tire's
plies and because of the flex of the sidewalls,
assuring more stable contact with the road
service and a softer ride.
• Less vibration.
• Extended tire life due to less heat generated by
the tire.

Expiry Date
•Tires have a shelf life of six years
•They are known to explode (tread comes apart)
