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

 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, so it is the most commonly used tire for off-road vehicles after the modification on the road. In terms of comfort and noise, the indicators are also reasonable, so it's a kind of tires having both off-road capacity and comfort. If the time you drive on urban roads and the time you drive on sandy and soft soil roads are almost equal, please choose all terrain tires, because its wide tread will increase the floatability on soft roads. At the same time, the fuel consumption will be lower because of its inferior off-road performance.

 

Mud Tire

Generally, most expensive mud tires enthusiasts and workers working on special roads will choose mud tire. On the contrary to the highway tire, mud tire has a hard sidewall, exaggerated tread and the obvious large distance between tread patterns, 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 roads with bad conditions. However, it will be more noisy than all terrain tire when driving on highways, because the better off-road performance is, the harder it will be, so that the greater the noise will be. Although it will accelerate the wear, the benefits are obvious: the mud tire provides better support and traction to help you out of trouble on the more complex rocky grass roads, which is a good choice for the on off road tires.

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?

  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
