The small footprint of the bar grip tread makes them perform poorly on sand. Even in the 1930s, 'balloon' tyres with wider treads, smaller tread patterns and lower pressures, were available for desert use. [5] [6] The poor water clearance of bar grips may limit their performance on very wet mud.
Changing a wheel on a Lockheed P-3 Orion aircraft Tires on the wheels of a bogie on a Boeing 777. An aircraft tire or tyre is designed to withstand extremely heavy loads for short durations. [1] The number of tires required for aircraft increases with the weight of the aircraft, as the weight of the airplane needs to be distributed more evenly.
The tundra-style tire has been independently invented at different times and places. In North America its post-World War II invention is credited to Canadian Welland Phipps, [1] potentially inspired by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company's pre-World War II development of their own, similar low-pressure "airwheel" as a complete wheel-rim and tire set — said to be of the "Musselman" type from U ...

Mud-terrain tires have a deeper, more open tread for good grip in mud, than all-terrain tires, but perform less well on pavement. [ 31 ] High-performance tires are rated for speeds up to 168 miles per hour (270 km/h) and ultra-high-performance tires are rated for speeds up to 186 miles per hour (299 km/h), but have harsher ride characteristics ...

A light plane with three people aboard landed safely without landing gear Monday after circling an Australian airport for almost three hours to burn off fuel. The pilot, Peter Schott, and his ...
Uneven or accelerated tire wear: can be caused by under-inflation, overloading or poor wheel alignment. Increased tread wear on only one side of a tire: often a sign of poor wheel alignment. Tread worn away completely: especially when the wear on the outer rubber exposes the reinforcing threads within, the tire is said to be bald and must be ...
