2. Tire rotation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_rotation

   [citation needed] If the tires are unidirectional, the rotation can only be rotated front to back on the same side of the vehicle to preserve the rotational direction of the tires, unless they are remounted. More complex rotation patterns are required if the vehicle has a full-size spare tire that is part of the rotation, or if there are snow ...

   The tires on a Hummer H1 might be labeled: 37X12.5R17LT. 37 – the tire is 37 in (940 mm) in diameter; 12.5 – the tire has a cross section of 12.5 in (320 mm) R – this is a radial tire; 17 – this tire fits 17 in (430 mm) rims; LT – this is a light truck tire

4. Chassis configuration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chassis_configuration

   A = number of wheels (twin-mounted tires count as one wheel) B = number of driven wheels / = the fore of the rear axles is steered (pusher axle) * = the rearmost of the rear axles is steered (tag axle) C = number of steered wheels - = separates axle groups and/or different axle functions (6x4-2 is 6x6 with undriven rear axle)

5. Radial tire - Wikipedia

   A cross-section of a tire. Number 12 indicates the radial ply. Numbers 14 and 16 are bias plies. A radial tire (more properly, a radial-ply tire) is a particular design of vehicular tire. In this design, the cord plies are arranged at 90 degrees to the direction of travel, or radially (from the center of the tire).

6. Tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire

   Rotation: Tires may exhibit irregular wear patterns once installed on a vehicle and partially worn. Front-wheel drive vehicles tend to wear the front tires at a greater rate compared to the rear tires. Tire rotation is moving the tires to different car positions, such as front-to-rear, in order to even out the wear, with the objective of ...

7. Bar grip - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_grip

   Bar grip tyres were developed in the 1930s and were the standard military pattern throughout World War II, for vehicles from Jeeps to heavy trucks and armoured cars. [1] They fell from favour in the 1970s and largely disappeared by the 1990s, having been replaced by newer patterns with better all-around performance.
