Comparison between Radial Truck Tyre and Common Diagonal Tyre in aspects of Structure and Performance

 

1. The tyre structure characteristics

 

The angle between the orientation of cord thread in the cord fabric of radial truck tyre and its radial cross section is 0 degree, which also means the angle between the former one and the center line of tread is 90 degrees.

 

The cord thread is arranged in the very similar way as the meridian line of the world (the longitude), that's how the radial truck tyre gets its name. Because the arrangement of cord thread enables us to make full use of the intensity of cord, the number of cord fabric layers in radial truck tyre is 40% to 50% fewer than that of common diagonal tyre. The common one has generally 1 to 4 layers, while radial truck tyre with steel wire has only one.

 

Cord thread keeps connection in peripheral direction with each other only with the help of rubber. In order to withstand the great tangential force generated in driving, the belt ply, also called hard buffer layer or banding layer, which has advantages of multiple layers, big angle (the angle with the radial cross section is 70 to 75 degrees), high strength and being difficult to be stretched is applied in the radial truck tyre to intensify the crown of tyre. It is like a rigid hoop banded tightly around the tyre. The radial truck tyre has a wide cross section, and the ratio of height to breadth (H/B) of the section is 0.7 or so.

 

2. Performance features

Comparing to common diagonal tyres, the radial mining truck tyre has advantages of large elasticity, good abrasion resistance (the service life is 30% to 50% longer), small rolling resistance (the fuel consumption can be lowered by 8% or so), great adhesion property (it is not likely to skid in muddy and floppy road surfaces), high carrying capacity and puncture resistance and excellent buffer property.Thanks to the tyres, drivers of watering cart will have a more smooth driving experience.

 

If drivers want to equip their vehicles with the tyre, it would be better to replace all old tyres with this one, or use the tyre only in rear axle. However, it is not allowed to use the tyre in front axle and common diagonal tyre in rear axle. Also, the radial truck tyre cannot be used with the common diagonal tyre in the same axle. In use, it should be inflated strictly in accordance with the standard air pressure. There are also other tips. For example, under-inflated tyre is not allowed to use; when turning, the speed should be kept low; don't brake too hard.

 

The characteristics of the radial truck tyre in structure and skeleton give this tyre a lot of excellent performance and produce some remarkable technological and economic effects.

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
