31 August 1.Tire functions are as follows ~ They cushion the vehicle ride to provide comfort to the driver/occupant. Firmly support vehicle weight. Develop traction to give the drive stability and steering on the road & Directional stability. 2. The tire bead itself shapes the wheel and allows a stable fitting. The tire bead filler acts as a reinforcement for the side wall and acts as a rim extender. 3.The antioxidants prevent harmfull wear on the tire from things like UV light and prevents harmfull gases from escaping. 4. The steel belts on a radial run across each other in an overlapping pattern to provide maxium strength and comfort. Bias-plys, Ply's run along next to each other and create warp over time and are not very efficent. 5. The advatages of an all season tire are that it has more gap on the road so less wear on the tire and longer life. It also is more stable in bad conditions. 6. A "B" load rating is meant to carry less weight then a "D" load rating which is for light trucks. 7.An "A" tire temp rating is alot higher and can with stand greater friction temperatures then a "C" which is considered acceptable. 8.The tire contact area is where the "rubber meets the road" and traction is applyed. Tire deflection is Tire deflection is the difference of the free diameter and the rolling diameter of the tire. 9. A rim drop makes changing the tire alot easier and quicker. The saftey ridges are there to prevent tire beads from moving into the center of the rim. 10. Static unbalance is when the rim/wheels rotational mass is effected by being throw off center, which in turn effects the centrifical force of the wheel.
