[ "A look at the parts that go into making modern car tyres.Tires for passenger cars today have a complicated design.Over a hundred years have passed since the first rubber tyres were made. some tyre brands play a big part in making today's steel-belted radial tyres betterin how they look and how they work. As we take apart the modern Hankook Tyres Telford, you canfind out how.The tread and belt assembly and the casing are the two mainparts that make up a tire's structure. All such parts have more than one layer.Let's take a look at each part, starting with the roadsurface and working our way to the center of the tyre. We'll also find out whatthese parts are for.Tread: Getting you where you need to goLet's start with the tread and belt, which are the tire'soutermost layers. This mostly rubber part wraps around the casing and makes iteasy to handle, lasts a long time, and gets good gas mileage.1. Tread. Made with both man-made and natural rubber. Thisrough surface on a new tyre helps it last a long time, grip the road well, andget rid of water. This means you can drive safely in any weather. The tread isthe part of a tyre that touches the road and the sidewall. It has three parts: Cap: This is the part of the tyre that touches the roadthe most. It gives traction on all types of road surfaces, wear resistance, andstability in steering. Base: The base, which is under the cap, reduces rollingresistance and damage to the casing, which is the inner structure of the tyre. Shoulder: This area connects the tread to the sidewall ofthe tyre in the best way at the edge of the tread.Continental's contribution. In 1904, Continental was thefirst company to add a tread pattern to the pneumatic tyres that were availableat the time.2. Jointless cap plies. This layer is right under the treadand makes it possible to go fast. Imagine winding a piece of twine around andaround until it forms a ball. This is a little like jointless cap plies. Theyare made of one strong nylon cord that is wrapped in rubber. This cord wrapsaround the tyre from one side to the other without crossing over itself.Continental's contribution. Used to be a woven linen fabricwith rubber embedded in it. But the crossed threads would rub together,shortening the life of the tyre. Continental made a new cord fabric in 1923.This fabric had cords that ran in one direction and were held in place bythreads that were woven into rubber. When the new fabric was used in tyres, theylasted much longer.3. Steel cord belt plies. In this layer, strong steel cordsgive the tyre its shape. Helps keep its shape and stay in one place. Lessens resistance to rolling Improves the mileage of your tyres.Case: Within your tyreNow, let's look at the casing or carcass, which is theinside of the tyre. The casing protects the tyre from damage and holds air,like an inner tube. The load is carried by the air inside the tyre, not by thetyre itself. Inflation pressure is so important because of this. Anyone who'sever had a flat tyre knows this well.4. Woven cord ply. This layer of rubberized rayon orpolyester keeps the tire's shape and controls the pressure inside the tyre.5. Inner liner. A layer of airtight butyl rubber that doestwo very important things: Seals the air-filled inner chamber, which controls howmuch air is in the tyre. Replaces the inner tube in modern car tyres that don'thave tubes.6. Sidewall. The tread shoulder connects the outside wall ofyour tyre to the tread. The sidewall is made of natural rubber and protects thecase from damage from the outside and from the weather.Tire bead: The part that connects the tyre to the wheelThe tyre bead is a part of the casing. It is the edge of thetyre that fits securely into the wheel groove. Here is where air pressure keepsthe tyre in place on the wheel. There are three pieces to the bead.7. Strengthening the beads. This fine cabling is made ofnylon or aramid, which is a strong, heat-resistant synthetic fibre. Makes it easier to tell which way to go. Helps the steering respond quickly and precisely.8. Top of a bead. A synthetic rubber stabilising wedge. Thebead apex does the same things as the bead reinforcement and makes steeringmore comfortable.9. Bead core. The centre of the bead, is made of steelwire wrapped in rubber. The core keeps the Tyres Telford from moving around on the wheelrim.To know more, do reach out to us" ]
