About Tyre

■ Tyre is rubber material which gives cushion

to the automobile.
■ The tyre tube Assembly is mounted on the
wheel rim and air inside the tube Carries
the entire load and provides cushion.
Cross section of Tyre
 Function of tyres
■ To support the vehicle load
■ To provide the cushion against shocks
■ To transmitt driving and breaking forces to the road
■ To provide the cornering power for smooth steering
 Properties of Tyres
■ Non-skidding
■ Uniform wear
■ Load carrying
■ Cushioning
■ Balancing
 Types of Tyres
■ Conventional Tube Tyre

■ Tubeless Tyre
 Conventional Tube Tyre

Components:

■ Tyre

■ Tube with valve

■ Rim
 Tubeless Tyre

■ The inner tube is integral within the

tyre is known as Inner liner.

■ The valve is permanently Fixed to

the Rim

■ The assembly is Airtight

Types of Carcass & Tread

■ Cross ply (or) Bias ply type

■ Radial ply type

■ Belted Bias ply type

 Tyre Materials
For Carcass :-

■ At the time of the second world war, Staple cotton was the tyre Carcass and it was
replaced by rayon
■ The nylon is introduced Which is stronger , More elastic and Cooler running then rayon
■ The terylene was introduced
For Cords of stabilizer belts :-

■ Rayon, terylene, glass fibre or steel

Rubber :-

■ Rubber used in tyres is blend of Natural and synthetic rubbers to which various
chemicals are added to obtain desired properties like wear resistance, Hysteresis
and less inside friction
 Considerations in Tread Design
■ Grip

■ Noise

■ Wear
 Factors affecting tyres life

■ Vehicle maintenance

■ Manner of driving

■ Miscellaneous Factors
