  2. Uniform Tire Quality Grading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Tire_Quality_Grading

    As braking torque increases, the tire deforms more and tread elements near the rear of the contact patch with the road begin to slip rather than grip. The coefficient of friction rapidly reaches a maximum value at about 10-20 percent slip, and then declines as the longitudinal slip values increase to 100 percent, which represents a fully locked ...

  3. Tire tread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_tread

    Design of tire tread has an effect upon noise generated, especially at freeway speeds. [1] Generally there is a tradeoff of tread friction capability; deeper patterns often enhance safety, but simpler designs are less costly to produce and actually may afford some roadway noise mitigation.

    Kal Tire is a wholly owned Canadian company based in Vernon, British Columbia, where it was founded in 1953 by Thomas J. Foord OBC and Jim Lochhead. Its business comprises retail tire sales for passenger and light truck vehicles, mechanical services for passenger and light trucks, commercial truck tires, mining and off-road sales and service and retreading of both commercial and off-road tires.

  5. Tire maintenance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_maintenance

    The chief reason for tire replacement is friction from moving contact with road surfaces, causing the tread on the outer perimeter of tires to eventually wear away. When the tread depth becomes too shallow, like for example below 3.2 mm (4/32 in), the tire is worn out and should be replaced.

  6. Tire code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

    To take a common example, 195/55R16 would mean that the nominal width of the tire is approximately 195 mm at the widest point, the height of the side-wall of the tire is 55% of the width (107 mm in this example) and that the tire fits 16-inch-diameter (410 mm) rims. The code gives a direct calculation of the theoretical diameter of the tire.

  7. ISO 5775 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_5775

    A typical example of a tire marking according to ISO 5775-1 is: 32-597 inflate to 400 kPa. The first number (nominal section width) is essentially the width of the inflated tire (minus any tread). The second number (nominal rim diameter) is the inner diameter of the tire when it is mounted on the rim.
