How aviation tires differ from automotive tires in general?
Most airplane tires are not rated for mud snow.
Airliner tires are not radials, they are bias ply tires - Tubeless tires are used for airliners - Inflated with nitrogen - main tires of a 747 are set at 150 psi pressure - They could handle up to 225 mph takeoff/landing speeds - The 747 type that I used to fly last had 34 ply-rating tires - Average 747 lands about 120-150 times before main tires are to be replaced - Tires are generally re-threaded, up to 6 to 10 times - They are "better" than "new tires", which were never used previously - In case tires get too hot, melting plugs are used in rims to deflate the tires - This is to prevent them from exploding - There are brake temperature gauges in the 747 in case wheels overheat - In that case, we leave the gear down 1 or 2 minutes after takeoff (cooling) - .
