2. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

   Tire uniformity refers to the dynamic mechanical properties of pneumatic tires as strictly defined by a set of measurement standards and test conditions accepted by global tire and car makers. These standards include the parameters of radial force variation , lateral force variation , conicity, ply steer, radial run-out , lateral run-out , and ...

3. Uniform Tire Quality Grading - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Tire_Quality_Grading

   Uniform Tire Quality Grading, commonly abbreviated as UTQG, is a set of standards for passenger car tires that measures a tire's treadwear, temperature resistance and traction. The UTQG was created by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 1978, a branch of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT). [ 1 ]

4. 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.

5. Radial force variation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_force_variation

   Radial force variation or road force variation [1] (RFV) is a property of a tire that affects steering, traction, braking and load support.High values of RFV for a given tire reflect a high level of manufacturing variations in the tire structure that will impart ride disturbances into the vehicle in the vertical direction.

6. Cornering force - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornering_force

   The exact ratio of sidewall compliance to tread compliance is a factor in tire construction and inflation pressure. [3] Because the tire deformation tends to reach a maximum behind the center of the contact patch, by a distance known as pneumatic trail, it tends to generate a torque about a vertical axis known as self aligning torque.

7. Bead breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bead_breaker

   This style of tool has a pointed foot that sits on the sidewall and enters the space between the tire bead and lip of the rim, and a padded clamp that screws into position. The ram foot is then actuated by another screw, breaking the bead loose. Because the tool is clamped in place, it cannot slide down the sidewall and damage the tire.
