2. Bead breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bead_breaker

   The large bead retainer is necessary to prevent unintentional dislocation of the tire bead from the bead seat. Furthermore, if an ATV tire does lose pressure from a puncture, the large bead retainer will keep the tire in place for low-speed riding, allowing the rider to navigate to the trail head without the tire coming completely off of the rim.

3. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   Tire identification labels. Automotive tires are described by several alphanumeric tire codes (in North American English) or tyre codes (in Commonwealth English), which are generally molded into the sidewall of the tire. These codes specify the dimensions of the tire and its key limitations, such as load-bearing ability and maximum speed.

4. Tubeless tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubeless_tire

   A tubeless tire (also spelled as tubeless tyre in Commonwealth English) is a pneumatic tire that does not require a separate inner tube.. Unlike pneumatic tires which use a separate inner tube, tubeless tires have continuous ribs molded integrally into the bead of the tire that are forced by air pressure into a flange on the metal rim of the wheel, sealing the tire to the rim.

5. Tire bead - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_bead

   Tire bead is the term for the edge of a tire that sits on the rim. Wheels for automobiles, bicycles, etc. are made with a small slot or groove into which the tire bead sits. 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 ...

6. Beadlock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beadlock

   A beadlock or bead lock is a mechanical device that secures the bead of a tire to the wheel of a vehicle. Tires and wheels are designed so that when the tire is inflated, the tire pressure pushes the bead of the tire against the inside of the wheel rim so that the tire stays on the wheel and the two rotate together.

7. 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.
