The first car took inspiration from existing modes of transportation at the time like the bicycle and covered wagon. The wheels are a prime example. Both the metal wire rim of the bicycle and the wagon’s wooden wheels were utilized on the early auto demonstrations.
A lot has changed since those early wood, straps, and rims. The pneumatic tire was later invented for the bicycle, but quickly was adapted by the blossoming automobile industry for significantly better performance on increasing horsepower. Today’s automobile tires are a series of carefully constructed layers designed to maximize durability, comfort and fuel efficiency.
A. TREAD: This is where the rubber hits the road. The tread handles traction and handling while the tread grooves dispatch of moisture.
B. BELT PLY: Commonly steel, the belt ply provides puncture resistance while enhancing the tread’s strength and fuel efficiency. Most steel-belted automobile have a minimum of two belt plies.
C. RADIAL CORD BODY: Encased in rubber, the Radial Cord Body strengthens the tire by transferring cornering forces from the tread to the wheel.
D. INNER LINING: The Inner Lining of a tire functions as an inner tube. The Inner Lining is bonded to the Radial Cords and holds the tire’s air.
E. SHOULDER: Transition from Sidewall to Tread.
F. SIDEWALL: The side of the tire and protects the Radial Cord Body.
Winter Tires
For the challenging driving conditions sometimes recorded in Ohio and other colder climates, winter tires are formulated with a unique rubber compound that is able to retain its elasticity in extreme cold weather. Winter tires are molded with deeper and substantially more grooves and spines in the tread for greater traction in ice, snow and slush.
Studded Winter Tires
When winter weather is at its worst and staying home isn’t an option, Studded Winter Tires provide excellent traction in the worst of weather.
Summer Tires
Summer tires are optimized for summer driving conditions. With less grooving than other car tires, summer tires have greater surface contact area and puts more rubber on the road. They are engineered for superior road handling, cornering and braking for enhanced speed and agility while providing superior traction in wet weather conditions.
All Weather Tires
Marketed to perform all year long, All Weather Tires are a hybrid of the Summer and Winter tires. All Weather tires are designed to perform well in most weather, but will struggle in the extremes of any season. All Weather Tires are the most popular tire category as much of the United States experiences all weather.
All Season Tires
As with All Weather Tires, All Season Tires are also a hybrid of the Summer and Winter tires, but more robust. All Season Tires provide as much road surface contact for greater stability and control during heavier rains with deeper and more treads for better traction in challenging winter driving conditions. All Season Tires are also made of a more advanced compound for less rigidity in extreme cold.
