1. Tire
tread
The part of the tire contacts with the road surface, enabling the vehicle with the performances of driving and
braking through friction, shall have good abrasion resistance, puncture resistance, impact resistance, cooling and
other performances.
2. Tire
body
The cord ply in the tire is the main forced component of the tire, which has impact resistance and good flexibility
resistance in traveling.
3. Belt
The steel cord between the tire tread and the tire body protects the tire body, inhibits the tire tread from deforming
and maintains the grounding surface of the tire tread, thereby improving the wear resistance and driving stability.
4. Cap
ply
Special cord plies above belt layer prevent the belt layer from moving when tires are running, so that the belt layer
is prevented from tripping when running at high speed to keep the stability of the tire size under the state of high
speed.
5. Tire
thread
Hanging plastic steel wire is wound by a certain shape (quadrilateral or hexagonal shape) to play the role in fixing
the tire by rim.
6. Apex
strip
The filling material above the ring traveler in the tire prevents the tire bead from dispersing, retard the tire bead
impact, protect the tire bead and prevent air from entering at the time of molding.
7. Inner
liner
The part of the tubeless tire for maintaining the air impermeability is made of special rubber, which is equivalent
to the role of the inner tube.

Description of tire pressure
The tire pressure has decisive effect on the tire wear, fuel consumption and fault damage; therefore, the standard
pressure must be maintained and the air pressure must be checked regularly in order to drive safely.
-
Loading capacity of tire is corsponding to its inflation pressure, so it is necessary to determine the rational air
pressure according to the loading capacity of the vehicle. The climate and seasonal changes should not be
the reason to adjust the tire pressure.
-
In initial use of new tire, external rim dimension of tire will change due to the heating produced by yield
movement, which will lower the air pressure of tire.
Therefore, it is necessary to inspect and adjust air
pressure tire during 24h use or after traveling 2,000-3,000km.
-
If traveling at high speed for a long time, tire air pressure should be increased by 10%-15%.
1. Risk
of
insufficient air pressure.
Insufficient air pressure will result in aggravating the deformation of the tire side wall, increase heat
generation, greatly shorten the service life of the tire, and bring about the following problems and
potential safety hazard;
a.
The tire shoulder is excessively worn.
b.
The opportunity for bulking of the tire under impact is increased
c.
Reduction in adhesive force between all components of the tire results in delamination.
d.
Severely insufficient pressure causes the side tire wall to be damaged due to being compressesd.
e.
Excessive tire run-out causes abnormal wear between the tire bead and hub which damages the
hub.
f. The oil consumption will increase with the increase in rolling resistance.
2.
Harmness of excessive air pressure.
Insufficient air pressure will result in ground contact area reduced of the tire tread, increase the tire
rigidity, reduce the buffer, and bring about the following problems and potential safety hazard;
a.
The middle area of the tire tread is excessively worn.
b.
The risk of breakage and even burst when the tire is impacted by external force is increased.
1476
c.
Maneuverability degradation resulting from the reduction in ground contacting area easily results
in the risk of drift, sliding, etc.
d. Degraded
passenger
comfort
e.
Low riding comfort and traveling with excessive tire pressure for a long time easily damage the
chassis.
3.
Nonuniform tire pressure on the same suspension may cause:
a.
The braking force is unbalanced on the left and right sides.
b. Steering
deviation
c. Maneuverability
degradation
d.
Deviation during acceleration
e.
The vehicle deviates during travelling.
4.4.2.3 Tire rotation
Wear varies greatly between the front and rear wheels depending upon the loads thery withstand during operation,
so to avoid tire from being subject to uni-directional wear you should perform tire rotation at the appropriate time
periodically to make tire wear even and in turn extend the life of the tire.
Recommend to replace once every 5,000-8,000 km, with the main purpose of tire rotation as follows:
A. Ensure the tire is evenly worn and the fatigue of the tire is averaged to ensure the stability and economicality.
B. During tire exchange, check the tire condition to identify damages in time and thus prevent against the
occurrence of accidents.
Tire rotation method is as shown in figure:
