2. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   Prior to 1964, tires were all made to a 90% aspect ratio. Tire size was specified as the tire width in inches and the diameter in inches – for example, 6.50-15. [24] From 1965 to the early 1970s, tires were made to an 80% aspect ratio. Tire size was again specified by width in inches and diameter in inches.

3. Tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire

   Tires provide a footprint, called a contact patch, designed to match the vehicle's weight and the bearing on the surface that it rolls over by exerting a pressure that will avoid deforming the surface. The materials of modern pneumatic tires are synthetic rubber, [1] natural rubber, fabric, and wire, along with carbon black and other chemical ...

   As Formula One wheel rim diameter size will switch from 13 to 18 in (330 to 457 mm), the tyre diameter of 2022-spec Pirelli Formula One tyres will also be altered, from 670 to 720 mm (26.4 to 28.3 in), while the tread width of 2022-spec Pirelli Formula One tyres are expected to be unchanged.

5. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

   Increasing the aspect ratio will increase the height of the tire and hence the circumference. Off-roading tires may use a different measurement scheme: Tread width × Outside diameter, followed by wheel size (all in inches) – for example 31×10.50R15 (787 mm × 267 mm R380 in metric designation). The size of the wheel, however, is denoted as ...

6. Aircraft tire - Wikipedia

   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.

7. Tubular tyre - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubular_tyre

   The tubular tyre and rim combination has the potential to either be slightly lighter or stronger than more common clincher tyres. [5] While the clincher tyres and rims technology has caught up in recent years, the total weight of a tubular rim and tyre is still always lighter than its clincher equivalent.
