Tire Construction
Tire construction involves several key components that work together to provide performance and safety. The main parts include the tread, which provides traction, and the sidewall, which protects the tire from damage. Inside, layers of belts and casing help maintain shape and support the weight of the vehicle.
The materials used in tire construction typically include rubber, fabric, and steel. The rubber provides flexibility and grip, while the fabric, often made from polyester or nylon, adds strength. Steel belts enhance durability and help resist punctures, ensuring the tire can withstand various driving conditions.
