[ "How does a tyre function?To an average person, tyres likely resemble simple everyday objects, round and black, on which vehicles run. But every radial has an intricate design, housing several elements, each of which has a distinct functionAs a consumer, it is always a good idea to do some research about what you are buying. You do not need to have an in-depth knowledge of tyres to use them. However, a general overview of what makes up a radial can often come in handy.All tyres have a common set of elements that are essential to run the vehicle. Let us take a look at what they are and how they work.Interior liningPreviously, the rubber tubes placed inside tubed tyres protected them from external damage. Now that tubeless tyres are reigning in the market, an inner rubber lining does a similar job. Made up of butyl, it does not interact with any oxidants, acids or bases. Thus, the tyre stays safe from the external agents without losing a high volume of air.Skeletal textile liningIn this layer, a series of cord treads create a dimensional tyre profile. Most standard car radials have at most three such layers, each 1 to 1.5 mm thick. The function of this part is to maintain the shape, even under inner thrust, and shift the brake and speed loadBeading wireTwo beading wires are coiled up in each radial, enclosed in a textile layer. They allow you to fit your tyres onto the wheel rimsBeading fillerA beading filler is another layer of rubber that firms up the beading seat. It keeps the beading wire from moving around. Thus, in turn, your tyres last longer. Besides, the steering becomes smoother, and your driving experience is enhanced.Beading bundleCreated from a wear-resistant material, the beading bundle acts as a divider between the beading wire and the wheel rim. Its resistivity accounts for the longer life span of tyres to a large extent.Sidewall or cheekThe sidewall is one of the most vital parts of the tyre. Made from rubber enriched in rejuvenating additives, it acts as a barrier. Thus, your tyres are shielded from harsh environmental conditions. These include varying temperatures, ultraviolet (UV) rays, etc. The sidewall also offers protection against scratches and general wear and tear.Steel beltA steel net forming the armament of the rim primarily constitutes the steel belt. Generally, two such straps are present in a radial tyre. These play a significant role in the steering quality of your vehicleTyre treadThe part of the tyre directly in contact with the pavement is referred to as the tread. Variation in its pattern varies the performance output of your tyres. Every tread is designed in such a way so as to minimise tyre noise and rolling friction. At the same time, a well-patterned tread helps in improving the grip, cornering ability and steering of the vehicle. It is essential to note that the depth of this tread should always remain above a definite value. Extra tyre componentsAlong with the parts mentioned above, Nexen Tyres constitute a few other ones. These include isolating bundles, cap ply, chafer fabrics, bead and sidewall reinforcements and breakers. Each of these components adds to the basic features of the tyre, making it suitable for the roadsOne cannot deny the necessity of fitting quality tyres on their vehicle. What gives a tyre such premium attributes? It is, of course, the elements that are combined to construct it. Thus, when you buy new radials from your local dealer or through Mobile Tyre Fitting Birmingham, ensure that they are suited to your driving conditions. That way, you will get the most out of them, making your rides smooth and comfortable." ]
