[ "Different Types of Car Tyres and how do they benefit your vehicle?;Bias-ply tyre:;Bias or bias-belted tyre is asimple design for a tire, dating back to the first pneumatic tires. It has anappropriately named "bias" tread  its diagonal stripes traverse thetire from bead to bead rather than following a circumferential path like radialtires. The huge contact area gives these tyres strong wear and gripcharacteristics compared to other types of tyres. However, they also possesssome disadvantages. They are susceptible to inflation pressure. They do notperform well at high speeds. Road conditions and the ageing of the materialsused for this type of construction may affect their cornering and brakingcapabilities.A further limitation is that if one of the belt's plies becomestorn or separated at one edge, this will usually cause other plies to dissolvequickly. When used on vehicles that carry heavy loads, these tyres are prone torapid tread separation. Due to their lack of bias on either side of the crown,they are not suitable for use on motor vehicles travelling at high speeds,especially over prolonged periods - resulting in insufficient traction andoverheating. Bias-ply Tyres;OnlineManchester are generally not safe to use on public highwaysRadial tyre:;Radial tires have diagonalgrooves between rows of large, interlocking tread blocks. They were invented bythe Michelin brothers douard & Andr Michelin during its founding years,although patented earlier by John Boyd Dunlop in 1889 (1888 in the U.S.). Thistype of tyre is now standard on most modern cars, trucks, and SUVs. Eachdiagonal groove contains a "bias ply" that helps distribute the loadbetween the treads. The plies are not uncovered but protected by co-extrudedrubber belts. The physical contact area with the road surface is more prominentthan in bias-ply tires, so they have a better grip even at low inflationpressure, which gives safer handling, especially on wet or oily surfaces. Thesetyres are relatively long-lived since regularly spaced tread blocks supportboth belt edgesRadial construction provides even tread flexingdistribution overall tyre plies for longer tread life, reduced shoulder wear,and more excellent fuel economy. These features are more significant forlarger cars and modern high-power vehicles, where radial construction providesa discernible advantage. However, the latest trend to giant alloy rims has meantincreased flexing on some road wheel designs, possibly undoing some of thebenefits that the stiffer radial design was supposed to deliverBias-ply tyres have been used in all Formula One racessince 1953 but were banned from the 2009 season onwards by Bridgestone,supplier to all teams, who cited safety concerns as their reason for requiringa return to radial tyres [1" ]. [In fact, there is no connection between F1 rulesmandating the use of single tyre manufacturers and changes in tyre technology.] Bias-ply tyres were still allowed in Moto GP, where Bridgestone is also a supplierBias tyres, unmodified by groove patterns or materials,are used on bicycles, wheelchairs and wheeled outdoor equipment such aswheelbarrows. Bias Tyres Stockport forautomobiles, trucks and aircraft are also producedRibbed tyre:;A ribbed tyre has one or moregrooves along its circumference that run approximately along the direction oftravel. Ribs give more contact area with the ground than an equivalentsmooth-walled tyre without increasing actual footprint (contact patch); this lessensside loadings on both road and structure, resulting in more minor cracking ofpavement surface layers. The most common example is a railway rail, as seenfrom a train window at night - although these may be internally wired toimprove theirsThe grooves may be open (like the smooth outer surface ofa pneumatic tyre) or closed by flanges. The grooves in solid rubber tyres tendto wear fairly quickly when used on roads, and they also losetraction-retaining air with use. A typical modern design for this kind of tyreis the so-called "Michelin X" pattern, where closely spacedlongitudinal channels run along the length of each tire's tread area, anddiagonal transverse channels connect them at right angles. This reducescornering and braking forces that cause more rapid wearing of tyres' outersurfaces. It does not give any specific positive effect on flat surfaces." ]
