How does a tire work?

Answer:

The tire is one of the most important components of the car, and its function is mainly:1. Support all the weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit the force and torque in other directions;2, transfer of traction and braking torque, ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road, in order to improve the car's power, braking and suspension through; and the common relaxation of the vehicle impact and attenuating vibration arising therefrom;3, to prevent auto parts from severe vibration and early damage, adapt to the high speed performance of vehicles, and reduce noise when driving, ensure the safety of driving, handling stability, comfort and energy saving economy.
It also requires high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat build-up. Half of the world's rubber consumption is used in tire production, showing the capacity of tires to consume rubber.
Tires are often used in complex and demanding conditions. They are subjected to various deformations, loads, forces and high and low temperatures while traveling. Therefore, they must have high load-carrying performance, traction performance and cushioning performance.
A tire is a ring shaped elastic rubber product that is grounded and mounted on various vehicles or machinery. The utility model is usually arranged on the metal rim, can support the vehicle body, buffer the external impact, realize the contact with the road surface, and guarantee the driving performance of the vehicle.
