That means you have a lot to choose from. Depending on the usage and the types of roads you drive these tyres on, they are crafted by the tyre manufacturers. You can rest assured that the tyres you get from them are of the finest quality.

As a user of this product, you must know the different sizes of the tyres. So, lets get started.Classification of tyres;Classification based on the material usedThe carcass of the tyres is made with nylon or sometimes they can be steel belted. Some tyres are made with steel. They can be polyester belted and made with rayon too. All these materials are used in the construction of the tyres. Tyres nowadays also have steel wires, carbon black to give the tyre its black colour, rubber which is synthetic and some other compounds. Since time immemorial, rubber is the only compound used in the tyres that have remained consistent in the tyre industry.Classification based on the way they are constructedThey are classified into two main broad categories. Radial tyres and bias tyres. There are tube tyres and then there are tubeless tyres. As the name suggests, tube tyres have a tube that has air in them. This tube can be found between the tyre and the rim. In case, such a tyre hits a sharp object on the road, then the air finds various ways to move out of the tyre. This can be dangerous at times, as theres a high risk of blowouts on the roads.Tubeless tyres on the other hand are devoid of any tube, so such tyres cant hold any air thats pressurized. These tyres are much safer on the roads. The only drawback with these tyres is that you dont get to know the puncture in the tyre unless and until you get your tyres checked regularly. Thats why its imperative to get your tyres checked on a frequent basis.Tyres for different vehiclesWhether you drive a passenger car or a truck, you will find tyres of all types in the market. There are 4x4 tyres meant for off-roading, tyres for aeroplanes, bicycles and for agricultural purposes as well. Apart from this, there are various patterns on the tyres.
