[ "A GLIMPSE INTO THE WORLD OF TYRESWith tremendous advancement in engineering, tyres can now handle various challenges like absorbing shocks due to unseen potholes, making a safe way around undesirable hurdles, unexpected braking, etc. Safety measures like Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction and Stability control, which are present in most vehicles nowadays, hinges on a tyre's making and its quality. So, it is important to have an all-round knowledge about the kinds of tyres that are availableOFF-ROAD TYRESAs is indicated by the name, these tyres are the best to use for unpaved roads. Using deep tread in the tyres provides much-needed traction on such roads where mud, sand, loose dirt, or gravel are present. Firestone Tyres West Bromwich has unique tread patterns to face the difficult conditions of uneven roads. These tyres come in a lot of sizes and tread patterns.Off-road tyres are very useful if you are a stickler for adventure and are very conducive for Indian roads. Since it is rather expensive and not very practical to change tyres each time you go on a road trip, some off-road tyres are constructed in such a way that they can be used regularlyFew demerits of these tyres are that they can be a bit loud and their longevity is less than that of the normal tyres.MUD TYRESAlso known as mud-terrain tyres, these tyres are characterized by tread patterns that are thick and chunky which makes navigation through mud and snow easy. The presence of large blocks, separated by wide and deep grooves, does not let the mud enter and adhere to the tread and allows enough rotation such that the little mud that does enter gets discarded. Mud tyres are generally available for four-wheeled vehiclesJust like off-road tyres, mud tyres are noisy and they produce a lot of vibration when driven at highway speeds, which makes them a bad fit for day-to-day use. Moreover, standard tyres have better fuel efficiency and are more comfortable to rideSAND TYRESAs you can probably guess, sand tyres (also called sand paddle tyres) are developed to traverse through dry sand and mud. They are mainly used in off-road vehicles. The tyres' patterns differ from that of standard tyres, containing a smooth rubber core on which the large rubber paddles are set successively. The tread blocks in sand tyres are not as large as that of mud tyres, and are divided by a number of tapered grooves known as sipes. These sipes help in proper traction in the sandy areas. The depth of sipes increases the gripping powerYou can get sand tyres for ATVs, 44 mechanism vehicles, Motocross bikes, and sand-rails.CROSS PLY TYRESCross ply tyres or bias tyres are constructed in such a way that reinforcing plies are assembled vertically on the tyre's plain surface, lending the sidewalls rigidity. As a consequence, elasticity becomes practically negligible, offering no cushion to road imperfections, thus making the ride uncomfortable and bumpy. But the solid side walls make these tyres a good buffer for sharp or hard objects lying on roadsIt is hard to mount these tyres on single-piece rims due to the stiff sidewalls. The sidewall next to the tyres' contact patch bulges out due to these stiff sidewalls, even though an insignificant amount of the vehicles weight rests on that area. Bias tyres have increased friction as the plies graze against each other while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in reducing the fuel economy. It also leads to overheating of the tyres at a higher speed, thus limiting the vehicle's speed.ALL-TERRAIN TYRESThese tyres are constructed for travelling on both paved and unpaved roads, guaranteeing ease and traction in dry, wet, and even in light snowy roads. They are a bit similar to sand and mud tyres and come in an assortment of sizes and tread blocks. They are not designed to provide proper traction in sandy roads and are susceptible to getting choked in mud, but they do have numerous sipes for navigating wet roads.Versatility is one of the plus points of Tyres West Bromwich as they eliminate the hassle of changing tyres with the change of seasons and terrains. They are much more reliable and comfortable than mud tyres. Though it is possible to drive these tyres on paved roads, they make a lot of commotion and cannot resist high-speed cornering and braking.You can get all-terrain tyres for Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs), pickup trucks, and trucks" ]
