Have you ever wondered how tyres are made? Your tyres are
the only grip and contact between your car and the road; they allow safe and
controlled manoeuvrability of your vehicle and you want them to provide you
with a comfortable and smooth drive, but you also want them to last and be hard
wearing.
There's a lot more thought and technology that goes into
making a tyre than most people think. With new tyre technologies and design
ideas always developing, tyre manufacturers are constantly trying to push the
boundaries of what they can achieve to optimise performance and durability, and
make tyres more economical or environmentally friendly.
Nowadays, tube tyres are a thing of the past, and modern
tyres come with a tube fixed to the inside called the inner lining. The
sidewall helps makes it rigid and protects the carcass, this in turn improves
the ride quality. Generally speaking, a tyre with a larger sidewall tyre is
more comfortable than a low-profile one as it has more flex in the sidewall and
hence absorbs the road imperfections better.
The tread is the part of the tyre that makes contact with
the road, and there are many different tread designs to bring different
benefits to a vehicle's grip and handling. A tyre manufacturer's objective is
to create a tread design that will give better grip in all weather conditions
and cope with the demands and stresses that are put on the tyre in all driving
conditions.The bead is what secures the tyre to the rim, made up of a beaded
wire and rubber core.
Steel wire or a textile fabric makes up the belt, and its
main job is to reinforce the structure, protecting it from impacts sustained on
the road. A tyre needs to offer good heat dispersal and to allow this to happen
each tyre has an edge of rubber on both sides, known as the shoulder.
The tyre carcass has to resist the stresses caused by the
constant pressures placed on it by the forces that occur in acceleration,
braking and changing direction. For this, the inner cord must support the
weight and absorb impact. The chafer is the lining between the tyre and the rim
and protects the cord as it appears on the rim wheel.
There are also several different specialty tyres that have
been developed to solve specific issues or problems that motorists face:
Run Flat Tyres
There are two different ways of designing a run flat tyre.
The simplest is a rim clip, which is simply a rubber clip that stops the tyre
rim piercing a hole in your tyre if it goes flat. A slightly more complex
version has Reinforced Tyre Sidewalls (RTS). This is a device that fits around
the metal rim of your tyre and is able to support the weight of your car, even
if the tyres run flat as you drive. This greatly reduces your risk of an
accident caused by a flat tyre.
Eco Tyres
Eco tyres are designed with fuel consumption reduction in
mind, and are built to help the environment and save you money without reducing
the overall performance of your car. They aim to reduce the resistance between
the tyre and the road, and this means you have to use less fuel to get you
moving smoothly. This does however mean you're reducing safety in wet or
slippery conditions. However, modern low resistance tyres have a silica
compound in the tread to make the tyre absorb more resistance from the road
without compromising on grip quality. Estimates on the use of an eco tyre
indicate that you could end up saving around £65 a year!
Nitrogen Filled Tyres
Nitrogen is an option that not many of us would think about
putting in our tyres to keep them inflated, but it's what racers and aviation
officials have been using for years! By mixing nitrogen with the oxygen in your
tyres you are limiting how much oxygen seeps out of your tyres as you drive,
which effectively slows down the process of deflation, reducing the risk of
driving with a flat tyre and the amount of maintenance required in the checking
of your tyre pressures.
