Tire Design

Tires are a critical component of vehicles and play a crucial role in their performance, safety, and efficiency. The usage of tires can be categorized into several key aspects:

  1. Transportation: Tires are primarily used in the transportation industry for various modes of transportation, including:

    • Automobiles: Tires are essential for cars, trucks, and other passenger vehicles, ensuring they can grip the road and move smoothly.

    • Commercial Vehicles: Trucks, buses, and other commercial vehicles rely on tires to transport goods and passengers efficiently.

    • Motorcycles: Tires for motorcycles are designed to provide stability and traction on two-wheeled vehicles.

  2. Off-Road Vehicles: Tires for off-road vehicles like all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), dirt bikes, and off-road trucks are built to handle rough terrains and provide enhanced traction.

  3. Agriculture: Agricultural machinery such as tractors and combines use specialized tires designed to work in the fields and provide traction for various farming activities.

  4. Construction: Heavy construction equipment like bulldozers, excavators, and cranes have specialized tires for the demanding conditions of construction sites.

  5. Aircraft: Aircraft tires are designed to withstand high-speed landings and provide stability during takeoff and landing. They are different from traditional vehicle tires.

  6. Industrial and Material Handling: Forklifts and other industrial equipment use tires that can carry heavy loads and operate in industrial environments.

  7. Bicycles: Bicycles, both for transportation and recreation, rely on tires for smooth rolling and grip on the road.

  8. Recreation: Recreational vehicles like RVs, campers, and trailers also use tires, often requiring specialized types for various conditions.
