What are the characteristics and application requirements of radial tires compared with ordinary tires?

Radial tire Radial tire is a kind of tire structure, which is different from bias tire, arch tire and pressure regulating tire. The international code name of radial tire is "R", commonly known as "steel tire".

Advantages:

1) It has large grounding area, good adhesion, small tread slip and low unit ground pressure, so it has small rolling resistance and long service life.

2) The tire crown is thick and has a hard belt layer, which is not easy to puncture; Small deformation during driving, which can reduce fuel consumption by 3%~8%.

3) Due to fewer layers, thin side walls, great radial elasticity, good buffering performance and large bearing capacity.

4) Good heat dissipation performance, and can adapt to high-temperature and high-speed driving.

5) Tax preference: radial tires are exempt from consumption tax from 200 1 1.

Precautions:

1) tire assembly: radial tires cannot be mixed with other tires on the same vehicle, especially not allowed to be installed on the same axle with other tires.

2) Tire pressure: Radial tires should be inflated according to the specified standards. When its inflation pressure is the same as that of ordinary tires, there will be insufficient inflation.

3) Vehicle toe-in: When the front wheel of an automobile is converted from ordinary tires to radial tires, the toe-in should be reduced accordingly.

4) Driving operation: When driving a radial tire vehicle, start slowly, keep the brakes steady, slow down when turning, overtaking or driving on uneven roads, overtake on a wide road section, and don't slam the steering wheel.

5) Protecting the carcass: Radial tire has thin sidewall, large deformation and easy to be scratched.
