  2. Tire tread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_tread

    The tread of a tire or track refers to the rubber on its circumference that makes contact with the road or the ground. As tires are used, the tread is worn off, limiting its effectiveness in providing traction. A worn tire can often be retreaded. The word tread is often used casually to refer to the pattern of grooves molded into the rubber ...

  3. Bar grip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_grip

    Bar grip tyres, or 'NDT' (Non-Directional Tire) in US military parlance, are an early tyre tread pattern developed for off-road use. Bar grips are characterised by a solid rubber circumferential centre strip, with large solid cleat alternately to either side. These span the full width of the tread. It is characteristic of this pattern that they ...

  4. Tire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire

    The word tire is a short form of attire, from the idea that a wheel with a tire is a dressed wheel. [3][4] Tyre is the oldest spelling, [5] and both tyre and tire were used during the 15th and 16th centuries. During the 17th and 18th centuries, tire became more common in print.

  5. Grouser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grouser

    Grouser. Grousers are devices intended to increase the traction of continuous tracks, especially in loose material such as soil or snow. This is done by increasing contact with the ground with protrusions, similar to conventional tire treads, and analogous to athletes' cleated shoes. On tanks and armoured vehicles, grousers are usually pads ...

  6. Pneumatic trail - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_trail

    Pneumatic trail. Bike tire contact patch during a right-hand turn. Pneumatic trail or trail of the tire is a trail -like effect generated by compliant tires rolling on a hard surface and subject to side loads, as in a turn. More technically, it is the distance that the resultant force of side-slip occurs behind the geometric center of the ...

  7. Tire bead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_bead

    When the tire is properly inflated, the air pressure within the tire keeps the bead in this groove. Reducing tire air pressure is a frequent practice among off-road vehicle drivers. [1] [2] This action widens the tire tread, enhancing the contact surface with the terrain for better traction. However, excessively low pressure can lead to ...

  8. Tire manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_manufacturing

    With over 1 billion tires manufactured worldwide annually, the tire industry is a major consumer of natural rubber. [1] Tire factories start with bulk raw materials such as synthetic rubber (60% -70% of total rubber in the tire industry [2][3]), carbon black, and chemicals and produce numerous specialized components that are assembled and cured.

  9. Rubber-tyred metro - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber-tyred_metro

    A rubber-tyred metro or rubber-tired metro is a form of rapid transit system that uses a mix of road and rail technology. The vehicles have wheels with rubber tires that run on a roll way inside guide bars for traction. Traditional, flanged steel wheels running on rail tracks provide guidance through switches and act as backup if tyres fail ...
