Tyre

A tire is a ring-shaped component that is surrounded to a wheel's rim to transfer a vehicle's load from the axle through the wheel to the ground efficiently

In ancient times, the original tires were section of iron which were placed on wooden wheels and used on carts and wagons. The tire is boiled in a furnace fire, located over the wheel and quenched to cause the metal to shrink and can mount cozily on the tires.

Most common type of tires used in automobiles is pneumatically inflated structures. They provide flexible cushion system that absorbs shock as the tire rolls over the rough features of the ground. The materials used in manufacturing pneumatic tires are synthetic rubber, natural rubber, fabric and wire along with carbon black and other different types of chemical compounds. It consists of a tread and a body. The tread provides traction while the body provides containment for a quantity of compressed air.

Depending on the varied requirements of the motorists there are different types of tire manufactured to suit everybody’s needs efficiently.

Run flat tires: There are two different ways of designing a run flat tire. The simplest is a rim clip, which is simply a rubber clip that stops the tire rim piercing a hole in your tire if it goes flat. A slightly more complex version has Reinforced Tire Sidewalls. This is a device that fits around the metal rim of your tire and is able to support the weight of your car, even if the tires run flat as you drive. This greatly reduces the risk of an accident caused by a flat tire.

Eco tires: Eco tires are designed with fuel consumption reduction and are built in favor of the environment which will save you money without reducing the overall performance of your car. The aim is to reduce the resistance between the tire and the road this enables you to use less fuel to get you moving smoothly. However, modern low resistance tires have a silica compound in the tread to make the tire absorb more resistance from the road without compromising on grip quality.

Nitrogen filled tires: By mixing nitrogen with oxygen in the tires you can limit the amount of oxygen seeping out of your tires as you drive. It not only slows down the process of deflation but also reduces the risk of driving with a flat tire and the amount of maintenance required in the checking of your tire pressures.
