Tyres act as a casing foryour cars wheels and are very tough along with good flexibility.Almost everything from wheelchairs to baby carriages and shoppingcarts to motorbikes has tyres.Mostof the vehicles have pneumatic tyres. Air is trapped inside suchtyres under high pressure. Lately, a tube was used to hold the airpressure inside the pneumatic tyres, but now, in accordance with anew design, a pressure seal is formed between the pneumatic tyres andthe rim of the wheel.Thereare a few basic things about your car tyres that you should know:RawMaterialsYourstrength is defined by what you are made of. The same goes for yourtyres. The main raw material that is used in manufacturing tyres isrubber. The production of this raw rubber is done by mixing liquidlatex with acids that solidify it. The polymers that are found incrude oil are used to produce synthetic rubber. Other chemicals suchas sulphur are also the ingredients that provide a tyre with theright amount of friction after heating.DesignThetread, the body along with the sidewall and the beads make the mostof a tyre used in passenger cars. The part of the tyre which is incontact with the road is the tread. The tyre gets its specific shapeby the body. The body also provides support to the tread. The tyre isheld on the wheel by beads. Tyre designing is chiefly done bycomputer systems nowadays to ensure top-notch performance levels andexcellent safety for your loved ones.TheManufacturing ProcessSpeciallyformulated rubber is wrapped in multiple layers around a drum ofmetal in a machine that forms tyres. The strips that form differentparts of the tyres are sliced and positioned by a skilled assemblerpresent in the forming machine. At this point, the tyre is called a"green tyre". For curing, this tyre is then brought to amould.Thefirst step in the manufacturing process is the formation of rubbercompounds by mixing raw materials.Thesecond step is milling each mix with extra heat. This mixes thechemicals well and softens the batch.QualityControlQualitycontrol starts with the providers of raw materials. Any tyremanufacturer looks for the raw materials that are tested before beingdelivered to the plant. Tensile strength, density and otherproperties are tested by taking samples of rubber throughout themixing process. All the tyres from the assembly line are taken fordestructive testing. Puncture resistance and air pockets are checkedby pressing the tyres on metal studs and cutting them open,respectively.Somenon-destructive techniques of evaluation such as X-ray videographyare also used. In an X-ray image, tyre defects are easily spotted.TheFutureRubberchemistry is witnessing continuous improvement. This is resulting inthe development of exciting new tyre designs with greater mileage andresistance towards wearing. Experimentation with non-pneumatic tyresis being done. An example of this is a thick plastic slab attached tothe rim of the wheel. Such tyres are great for the economy as theyoffer low rolling resistance.Toget your cars the most economic tyres, you might want to mount yourcar with a set of Bridgestone Tyres Southampton.
