Radial and Bias Tire Structure

From the results of the development to the present structure commonly used by tire manufacturers is as follows:

1. Tire Tread:
Tread Ban is part of the tire in direct contact with the surface of the road. The materials used depend on the utility vehicle and therefore contributes to resistance tires, traction and also in conducting maneuvers.

2. Steel Belts:
Maintain the robustness of the structure of the tire and also maintain the security of objects that can pierce the surface of the tire.

3. Spiral Layer:
This layer serves to tire more resilient and easier to maneuver.

4. Shoulder:
Shoulder the thickest part of a tire that serves to protect the tires from shock or dangerous objects from the outside.

5. Sidewall:
Sidewall is the most flexible on a tire. Factors driving comfort on a tire in can of this section.

6. Plycord:
Plycord is the main part of a tire that coats the inside of the sidewall and also the inside of the tire tread of the tire air pressure, vehicle load and also the shock from the outside.

7. Bead Filler:
Bead Filler filler layer that makes the tire more resilient and easier vehicle in performing maneuvers.

8. Bead Wires:
Wire layer which serves to hold the tire securely in place on the wheel / rim.

9. Chafer
The part that protects plycord bead section of the heat resulting from friction with the bead wheel / rim.

Of the overall structure of the tire above the most influence resilience, maneuverability and fuel frugality factor is PLYCORD

How to Read Car Tire Specifications

tirecodeThe way to be able to recognize the condition of the tires was easy. Know your vehicle tires by looking at the instructions on TWI (Thread Wear Indicator). Make figures as the benchmark measure of the TWI. Afterward, try measuring with a ruler the thickness of the tire from the bottom groove. If less than 2 mm you should immediately replace it with a new tire.

Well now about how to know the specifications of the tire. Look at the side of the tire. In each type of tire would lift or a letter written some really been explained in detail the characteristics of the tire. For example, on the picture written 215/65R15 95H.

What are listed on side of the tire can be categorized as follows :

1. Figure 215 is an indication the tire section width. The larger section of the tire, the greater the tire treads.

2. Figures 65R is an indication of the tire height is measured from rim to tire section attached to the road. The higher the score the more the tire wall thickness also when viewed from outer side (if measured from the rim).

Nitrogen Tire Filler, for what?

nitrogen_fill_tireDo you already know about the types of vehicle tires? what is the contents of the vehicle tires? air? have you ever heard that the tire was not only filled with air. so what is the filler of the tires? do you want to know? The air around us is composed of approximately 21% of Oxygen, 78% of Nitrogen, and the rest are other gases, was pumped into the tires of vehicles are also air that contains as above.

Accordingly, because the size of the molecule, the oxygen gas is more easily “leak” out of the tires so the tires to make the pressure decreases. One of the human effort is to pump some air with a higher content of nitrogen into the tires, the intention is to maintain air pressure in the tires to remain stable.

Use of Nitrogen in the tires of vehicles are also intended to prevent or reduce the expansion of air in the tires due to the heat that comes from “hard work” tires. Like on an airplane tire, or a racing car tires always spin faster speeds. Previously, racing vehicle tires are often found to be broken because it can not withstand high temperatures expands.
But based on some user experience with the content of nitrogen tires, it was found that for use in ordinary (in town), it contains nitrogen tires will make the tire to be “cool” and reduce the flexibility of rubber tires, so it easy to “crack” and rupture.

Benefits of Nitrogen for Tires

Do you know about the types of vehicle tires?. whether the contents of the vehicle tires? air?. have you ever heard that the ban was not only filled with air, then filled in what these tires? What do you want to know?. The air around us is composed of approximately 21% of gas Oxygen, Nitrogen gas 78%, and the rest are other gases., Yang was pumped into the tires of vehicles are also air that contains as above.
Accordingly, because the size of the molecule, the oxygen gas is more easily “leak” out of the tires so the tires to make the pressure decreases. One of the human effort is to pump some air with a higher content of nitrogen into the tires, the intention is to maintain air pressure in the tires to remain stable.
Use of Nitrogen in the tires of vehicles are also intended to prevent or reduce the expansion of air in the tires due to the heat that comes from “hard work” tires. Like on an airplane tire, or a racing car tires always spin faster speeds. Previously, racing vehicle tires are often found to be broken because it can not withstand high temperatures expands.
But based on some user experience with the content of nitrogen tires, it was found that for use in ordinary (in town), it contains nitrogen tires will make the tire to be “cool” and reduce the flexibility of rubber tires, so it easy to “crack” and rupture.
There are also many other benefits for example, Nitrogen gas filled tires will reduce the process of oxidation and rust on the wheels.
Use of Nitrogen in tires, are distinguished from nipple green light, so as to fill the air, will soon be seen whether the vehicle owner to allow filling the tires with regular air, or had to go to a special workshop that provides Notrogen gas.
Try to observe whether your vehicle tires containing normal air or nitrogen? And tell me how it feels to drive a vehicle with tires containing this nitrogen.
