Do You Know How to Choose On-off Road Tires?

Image
  Old drivers, please remember: the principle that more expensive, the better is not suitable for tires, and various vehicles cannot use the same type of tires.   The selection of on off road highway tires   needs to be supported by a certain knowledge base. Then, let me explain for you:   You should know the types of tires. Tires can be classified as many types, mainly including highway tires, all-terrain tires and mud tires.   Highway Tire Highway tire not only ensures the economy and comfort but also has a certain light off-road capability, which is a kind of original tires that the majority of automobile manufactures are willing to use. Although this kind of tire has inferior off-road performance, it has a long service life and lower noise, and it's more stable than all-terrain tires and mud tires.   All-terrain Tire All terrain tire has a harder tread and wider tread patterns than that of highway tire. It can enhance the grip and wear resistance on the non-paved road surface,

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 the road tyre s needs to be backed up by a certain amount of knowledge. Let me explain it to you:   In general, the cross country tire s 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 t

Does It Need to Balance Trailer Tyres?

  S hould T railer T ires B e B alanced ?   Daily maintenance of trailer tyre Always check the tire pressure. The inflation pressure of tires must be inflated to the corresponding air pressures specified by different types and specifications of tires in accordance with national standards. According to the vehicle with which the tire is equipped, it can be inflated according to the front and rear wheel air pressure recommended by the car manufacturer and the tire manufacturer after negotiation.   For a new tire, the size will change (expand) after a period of use, and the corresponding internal pressure will decrease. When we find that the tire is flat and the air pressure is insufficient, we should increase the air pressure to reduce the damage of the low air pressure to the tire.   Note: After each tire is inflated, use soapy water to check whether the valve is leaking, and screw the valve cover to avoid useless work. At the same time, the spare tire of the vehicle should be kept avai

Difficulties in Three Major Channels of Export, Replacement, and Assembly: How Can Tire Manufacturers Help Themselves?

Image
  1. The three major channels encountered difficulties, and tire company sales have decreased   Export, replacement, and assembly are the three main sales channels for tire manufacturers. At present, these three channels are facing some difficulties, which lead to the decline of tire sales.   In terms of   tire export , the problem of overhigh ocean freight and insufficient containers still exists. The high freight costs deter tire distributors in many countries from purchasing Chinese tires.   The continued increase in foreign trade shipping costs will further affect the export orders of tire manufacturers.   As for the assembly market, it was mainly affected by the decline in production and sales of automobiles, especially commercial vehicles.   According to the data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers in July, tire companies sold about 72,000 heavy trucks in July, which is a 50% year-on-year decrease. It shows a significant decline trend. The decrease in vehicle s

Detailed Study of Imperial and Metric System of Truck Tires

Image
  Historically, early tyre study  technology in many countries adopted British standard, with both bias tires and radial imperial tires  with steel wires using British standard, and truck tires still follow that standard until the era of tubeless tires.   Most European countries adopt metric tires and imported cars are mostly fitted with metric tires.   1. British standard truck tire 12R22.5 is British standard. Specifically, cross-section width is 12 inches (30.47cm). Rim diameter is 22.5 inches (57.1cm).   H eavy duty tyres  with British standard only show cross-section width, tyre type, and rim size. Compared to British standard, metric standard shows more information about the tyre, such as flatness ratio and installing rim size. Cross-section height of truck tires can also be calculated by flatness ratio.   2. Metric truck tire 295/80R22.5 is metric standard. Specifically, cross-section width is 29.5cm and flatness ratio is 80. Installing rim diameter is 22.5 inches (57.1cm).   Fl

Daily Maintenance Skills of Heavy Truck Tires

Image
  Heavy truck tires  are very important for trucks. Because of the needs in work, the tyres should not only have high wear resistance, flexion resistance, but also have low rolling resistance and heat generation. In the maintaining process every year, the replacement of heavy truck tyres is a large expenditure. Therefore, in order to ensure driver safety and save costs, tyre maintenance  is particularly important. Today, let's talk about the maintenance of tyre positions on trucks .   1. Regular check of reasonable tyre pressure   It is ubiquitous that heavy mining dump truck tires  are overloaded and pumped irrationally. Either too high or too low tyre pressure will increase the wear of heavy truck tyres. We can increase the tyre pressure by 5%~10% according to the standard, and pressurize each tyre reasonably according to the load condition of each shaft. Make sure that the tyre pressure on the same axle must be the same. Besides, we should also check frequently to ensure the nor

Comparison between the Radial Truck Tyre and the Ordinary Bias Ply Tyre

Image
  Compared with the ordinary bias ply tyre , the radial truck tyre  has the following advantages:   1. Small rolling resistance and fuel saving   Thanks to the belt ply, the deformation degree and relative slippage of the crown after the tyre hitting the ground is much smaller than that of the ordinary tyre, and the sidewall of the radial tyres for trucks  is thin as well as recovers quickly after deformation. These two features can help reduce the internal wear of the tyre and the rolling resistance. Tests have proved that the rolling resistance of the radial truck tyre is 20%~30% lower than that of the ordinary bias ply tyre, which can save fuel by 5%~10%.   2. The tread has good wear resistance and a long lifetime   When the wheel rolls, the curved surface of the tyre on the ground is deformed and slipped, and the deformation promotes slip, which intensifies the wear of the tread. The radial truck tyre crown has features of high rigidity, small deformation, almost no slip, large con
