Do You Know How to Choose Cross-country Tires

 Older drivers need to remember one thing: it is not the more expensive the tires, the better . And it is not that one tire can fit to any cars.

 

The selection of on off road tyres needs to be backed up by a certain amount of knowledge. Let me explain it to you:

 

In general, the tyres can be divided into road tyres, all terrain tyres, and mud tyres.

 

Highway tyres

 

Highway tyres is a kind of original tyre most willingly to be used by the majority of automobile manufacturers, which ensures the economical efficiency and comfortability and has a certain light off-road ability. The off-road performance of this kind of tire is slightly poor, but it has a long service life and low noise, and is more stable than light all-round tire and mud tire.

 

All terrain tyres

 

All terrain tyre has a harder tread and stronger tread pattern than road tyre. It can enhance the tyres' grip and wear resistance on the non-paved road surface, so it is also the most commonly used tire for off-road vehicles after modification on the road. Comfortability and noise indicators of all terrain tyres are also very reasonable, belonging to a kind of off-road and comfortable tire. If you spend about the same amount of time driving on urban roads as on sandy and soft soil roads,  all-around tires will be a good choice, whose wide tread will increase the floatability on soft roads. At the same time, due to the poor off-road performance, the fuel consumption will be lower.

 

Mud tyres

 

Generally, only on off road enthusiasts and workers working on special roads will choose mud tyres. On the contrary to highway (HT) tire, the mud tire has a hard wall, exaggerated tread, and the distance between the tire teeth is obviously large, which is convenient for slow or high-speed mud dumping when driving on muddy ground. In addition, it is easier to increase the adhesion on some bad ground. Driving on the road will make louder noise than the all-around tire. The stronger the on off road performance the tyres have, the harder the tyres will be, and the louder the noise will be. At the same time, it will also accelerate the wear and tear degree. But the benefits are also obvious: on more complex rocky and grass roads, mud provides better support and more traction to help you out of trouble, and it is a good choice for on off road tyres.

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.
