Analysis on Common Problems of Heavy Truck tires

 1. Why are the rear tires of heavy trucks punctured the most?

 

In normal driving, the nail lying flat will rarely puncture the front tyre. However, when the front tyre runs over the nail, it will collide with the nail and make the nail move or jump up. In this way, the probability of air leakage caused by the puncture of rear-wheel becomes greater. Therefore, the rear tires of heavy trucks are generally punctured more frequently.

 

2. Why do we need more truck tyre repairs on rainy days?

 

(1) Heavy truck tires may have been punctured by nails as early as before the rainy day. However, due to dust blocking and slow venting of the punctured vacuum tyres, the nail hole was not found in time. After the rain washes away the dust, and the tyres leak and bubble when there is water. So that the probability of finding nails was far greater than usual.

 

(2) The ground is slippery on rainy days, and iron filings and nails are soaked in the rain. If heavy truck tyres run over the nails, the nails move because of the fluctuation of water, which increases the chance of puncture.

 

3. There is a slow leak in the water testing after heavy truck tire repair. Why?

 

As we all know, heavy mining truck tyres are partially vulcanized, including the air-tight layer, cord layer, belt layer, tread rubber, etc. After the nail pierces the tyre, because the tyre rolls, the air will pass through the nail hole and enter into the gap of each layer formed in the tyre.

 

Ordinary tyre repair is just to repair the innermost layer of the tyre, that is, the air-tight layer. After the air-tight layer is repaired, it can only ensure that the air inside the tyre will not leak to the outside.

 

However, the air entering the gap of each layer will continue to leak out and bubble, so there is no need to worry about this situation.

 

4. How to judge whether the heavy truck tire has been not repaired or there is residual air?

 

First of all, observe the air leakage situation after the repair of the nail hole, and then observe the air leakage situation after releasing the air thoroughly from the heavy truck tire.

 

If there is basically no change in the air leakage conditions of the nail hole before and after the deflation, it can be determined that there is residual air in the tyre, and you can drive safely. If the tyre does not leak after releasing the air, it means that the tyre has not been repaired, so additional repair is required.

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
