12 Major Cases of Structural Damage to Big Truck Tires

 As an important part of the vehicle, the performance of big truck tires is directly related to the truck's load carrying capacity and wear resistance. Inevitably, a variety of problems occur during driving because of the harsh environment in which they are used. These include not only normal wear and tear, but also structural damage.

 

As a truck driver, it is important to be aware of these issues to avoid being at a loss when your tires are in trouble. Many of the problems that occur with tires are not actually related to the quality of the tires themselves, but are caused by poor driving habits of the driver or external factors that lead to damage to the tires. Here, we can analyse the causes and types of tire wear and take appropriate preventive measures. Early prevention can be made to avoid unnecessary losses.

 

Some of the most common cases of structural damage to big truck tires and related analysis are introduced by Aulice Tyre for your reference.

 

1. Side drum explosion caused by sub-mouth cut

 

Characteristics: The sub-mouth part of the tire body anti-curtain cloth steel wire is cut, causing the corresponding side radial drum burst.

 

Reason: the sub-mouth area was cut by sharp objects, resulting in the sub-mouth area of the tire body anti-curtain cloth steel wire fracture. Under the action of pressure, the fracture of the tire body steel wire end points constantly stretch and flex, resulting in the side of the tire radial drum burst and the steel wire fracture.

 

2. Side puncture

 

Characteristics: The tire side is irregularly split, with punctures, scratches, or obvious foreign body extrusion marks.

 

Reasons: The side of the tire is punctured by sharp objects when driving, or there is a foreign object extrusion between the two tires when both tires are used.

 

3. Abnormal wear

 

Characteristics: Irregular wear of the tire crown.

 

Reasons: Tires not regularly replaced, poor condition, directional tyres not regularly mounted, improper rims and other factors.

 

4. Puncture blast

 

Characteristics: Fan-shaped burst on the side of the tire, and there is an obvious puncture mark at the crown corresponding to the burst.

 

Reason: The crown part of the tire is punctured, puncturing the tire body cord fabric, resulting in a split in the tire body cord fabric layer from inside to outside, and bursting from the split under pressure.

 

5. Puncture injury delamination

 

Characteristics: sharp objects pierce the crown of the tire with the bundle layer of steel wire; the shoulder rubber and steel wire bundle layer from.

 

Reason: Sharp objects pierce the steel wire in the crown section, resulting in water, ash, sand, etc. infiltrating, and the user does not check and deal with it in time, resulting in rusting and delamination of the end point of the belt layer.

 

6. Crown top burst

 

Characteristics: The crown is strongly torn burst.

 

Reasons: tire in the overload and high speed state, driving in the state of high pressure, and the strong impact of obstacles.

 

7. Impact burst

 

Characteristics: crown burst, the corresponding inner "I" shape crack.

 

Reasons: when driving the crown on uneven road, or obstacles strong impact and burst.

 

8. Side tire abrasion

 

Characteristics: Shoulder circumferential abrasion, visible tire body cord.

 

Reasons: when driving on road with hard abrasions, extremely bad using conditions, car parts against the side of the body, resulting in circumferential mechanical abrasions.

 

9. Hard injury of tread pattern

 

Characteristics: The tread pattern of the tyre crown is pierced by sharp objects, the damage can be seen with the bundle layer.

 

Reasons: Driving on bad road, tread is cut by bad sharp objects; or scratch the crown rubber, causing the tread groove to crack or crown rubber off block.

 

10. Puncture blast

 

Characteristics: "zip" burst on tire side, obvious stabbing and scratch marks in the burst or the corresponding crown.

 

Reason: tire side or the corresponding crown was punctured, resulting in fracture of the tyre body wire cord, strength drop, blasting occurs.

 

11. Puncture

 

Characteristics: Crown puncture, tire cord local fracture and disconnected from the body of the tire.

 

Reason: When driving, sharp objects pierce the tire body, causing the tire body local steel wire fracture.

 

12. Tire body cord fracture

 

Characteristics: The tire body cord is broken throughout the week.

 

Reason: The tire is crushed and cracked due to insufficient air pressure.

What is the Difference between Radial Ply Tyres and Diagonal Tyres?

Image
Nylon Tyre VS Radial Tyre The so-called diagonal tire refers to the tyre whose cords are arranged diagonally, hence its name. The entire carcass is composed of multiple layers of diagonally crossed nylon cords. The tyre crown and sidewall belong to the same ply, which makes the tyre stress concentrated. The deformation of the sidewall is directly transmitted to the tread, leading to unstable ground contact area and poor ground grip. Moreover, the uneven stress on the tyre tread causes serious wear in the middle and short service life of the tyre. In addition, the diagonal tyre is composed of nylon cords with poor thermal endurance. After running for many times in the alternating environment of cold and hot, the nylon cord becomes fatigued, reducing the tensile force and causing a sudden tyre explosion, which poses a great safety hazard. A lot of tyres that seem to be in perfect condition suddenly explode, causing a huge impact on driving safety. Also, diagonal tyre is with high si

What's the Difference between Single Steer Tires and Double Steers Tires?

Image
  Single Steer Tires   Super single steer tyres  is unidirectional with all force. Its tread patterns are in the same direction with a good grip, so it is suitable for cars that often run at high speed. If there is no abnormal tire wear, you only need to switch back and forth on the same side. If one-sided tire wear occurs or the tire has run more than 10,000 kilometers, the tire needs to be switched from left to right.   The sidewall of super single steer tire  are marked with an arrow and a "Rotation" sign. The direction indicated by the arrow is the rolling direction of the tire. You can use this arrow to tell if the tire is reversed. If the front and rear tires are installed upside down, the tires will shake and wear easily when the vehicle is running.   When installing a single steer tire, the combination of tire and hub should also be considered. Install the tire on the wheel hub according to the specific position of the vehicle and the direction indicated by the arrow

So Much is Hidden in the Numbers on Truck Tyres

Image
  So Much is Hidden in the Numbers on Truck Tyres   Carefully observing the obvious position on the sidewall of heavy duty tyres , you would find a line of number + letter symbols similar to mathematical functions, such as 12.00 R20, 11.00 R20, 295/80 R22.5. And these numbers represent the basic information of the tyre. Take 12.00 R20 as an example, where 12.00 represents inch in British system, and 12 inch refers to tyre tread width. The larger the number, the wider the tire tread, hence the larger the grounding area, and the tire's grip will be improved to a certain extent.   The last two digits of 20 corresponds to the wheel hub, which is often called the diameter of the rim, in inches. Generally speaking, the larger the diameter of the hub, the greater its bearing strength. Many drivers who pull heavy loads tend to have larger diameter wheels with a certain thickness.   The letter R represents the type of tire. Most of the tires in the past did not have this letter. In the past
