Introduction to Tires
The tire is a ring-shaped elastic rubber product that is assembled on various vehicles or machinery and rolls on the ground. Usually installed on a metal rim, it can support the body, cushion the external impact, achieve contact with the road and ensure the driving performance of the vehicle.
Tire function
Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions. They are subjected to various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperature effects during driving. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. At the same time, it also requires high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation. Half of the world's rubber consumption is used in tire production, which shows the ability of tires to consume rubber.
Tire composition
The tire usually consists of three parts: outer tube, inner tube, and pad. There are also those that do not require an inner tube, and the inner layer of the carcass has a rubber layer with good airtightness and a special rim is required. The structure of tires all over the world is developing towards tubeless, radial structure, flat (the ratio of tire section height to width is small) and lightweight.
