First priority to the original tires, original tires are the best with the maximum vehicle speed and vehicle load, so in theory, should be given priority in the replacement tire. Second, pay attention to tire tread, tread on car tires, in addition to play beautiful effects, the performance of the tires have a great impact. Often in vehicles, should select those tires tread good drainage, such as a regular pattern of small blocks; and needs and long distances cross-country vehicle, you can select a large block pattern.

Finally, if you are not satisfied with the vehicle's handling the original, you can consider replacing the flat tire than the lower, for many models, improving manoeuvrability of the vehicle appearance and one of the most effective ways is to replace the lower than the flat tires.

Identification of used tires is simple: The most common is to observe the color and gloss tire, used tires are relatively dark color and luster, so the tires do not run into such a blind buy.

In recent years, foreign car tire development trend is the increasing use of large width, large diameter ratio and low flat tires. The car uses more current domestic or small width, small diameter and high than the flat tires. Higher than the flat tire the tire wall as long, buffer capacity, relatively comfortable, but to the road feeling bad, weak resistance to lateral turns. Conversely, low flat ratio, large diameter tires, due to the shorter sidewalls, wide tread. Therefore, ground area, the tire can withstand the pressure of big, the response was very sensitive on the road, the lateral resistance when turning ability, so that the vehicle's handling is greatly enhanced.

Currently used in production cars than the largest tire is flat, 225/55R16, and many imported luxury cars or sports coupe tires reach the 225/45R17, and even some to 245/40R18. Large width of the vehicle assembly, large diameter, low-profile tires than the post, in addition to handling strong visual effect but also gives it the appearance of the mighty feeling.

How the Tire Works

Tyre is a product, it is a high-tech composite products, it contains from 200 different materials and products, consisting of about 20 kinds of components; tire is also a culture, it contains intelligent human beings and wisdom; tires is a safe, it is closely related with the automobile era the lives of every person is you and I have to be treated with caution consumer goods. But in the end for the car service tires.

Car tires are the most important one of the components, and its role are: to support the full weight of the vehicle to withstand automotive load; transfer traction and braking torque, to ensure adhesion with the road wheels; mitigate and absorb car driving vibration and impact, to prevent the auto parts damaged by the severe vibration and early to meet the vehicle's speed performance and reduce the noise when driving to ensure driving safety, handling and stability, comfort and energy economy.

History of Tires - Used Tires, Tractor Tires

The first tire is made from wood, which the chariot from ancient China and abroad can see that gentleman cart. Later, when explorer Christopher Columbus in 1493-1496 to explore the New World arrived the second time in the West Indies island of Haiti, found a local children are playing the rubber lump, which made him surprised. Then he put this thing back to the motherland, wonderful, years later, the rubber has been widely used, the wheels are turned gradually from hard rubber wood. But by this time but still solid rubber tires, and go up and also very comfortable and also great noise. Until 1845, civil engineer born in Scotland R · w · Thomson inventedPneumatic tire, And "the wheels of carriages and other vehicles, improvement" in the title, won the British government's patent. 10 December the same year, the first pneumatic tire was born.

The first people to buy call lists pneumatic tire, is a noble, the total price of four tires for the forty-four pounds two shillings. 1847 "Scientific American" magazine describes Thomson's pneumatic tire, called the epoch-making improvements. However, the British, too much emphasis on the traditional gentrification, in order to protect the carriage, and limit the development of steam cars, the speed of vehicles in urban areas is limited to speed 2mile (about 3.2km), suburb 4mile (about 6.4km). Thus, Thomson's invention has no market, therefore, will be slowly forgotten. In other words, Thomson's first tire revolution, not to humanity as the bright sun, because the darkness of human experience seems to be not coming to an end. But the sun is always out, as all things human, and need it, 40 years after 1888, when the veterinary doctors in Ireland Gran J · B · Mr. Deng Lupu made pneumatic tire of the patent. At that time, J · B · Mr. Deng Lupu 10-year-old son Johnny bought a three-wheeled bike, but also because it was the tires are made of hard rubber solid tires, so full of stones in the road walking very comfortable, inspired his son complained about the inspiration for Mr. Deng Lupu, therefore, been forgotten for over forty years of pneumatic tires come again. With the progress of the times, Mr. Deng Lupu invention of pneumatic tires on the bike has been quickly applied, and quickly move towards the automotive sector, the development of the world's automotive industry has made tremendous contributions.
