2. Uniform Tire Quality Grading - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Tire_Quality_Grading

   These represent the tire's resistance to the generation of heat at speed. Tires graded A effectively dissipate heat up to a maximum speed that is greater than 115 mph. B rates at a maximum between 100 mph and 115 mph. C rates at a maximum of between 85 mph to 100 mph. Tires that cannot grade up to C or higher cannot be sold in the US. [9]

3. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   If the tire diameter is not given, section widths ending in zero (e.g., 7.00 or 10.50) indicate the aspect ratio of 92%, while section widths not ending in zero (e.g., 7.05 or 10.55) indicate the aspect ratio of 82%. These aspect ratios often vary from today's tire manufacturer specification. Construction of the fabric of the tire: B: bias belt

4. Dynamic mechanical analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_mechanical_analysis

   Dynamic mechanical analysis (abbreviated DMA) is a technique used to study and characterize materials. It is most useful for studying the viscoelastic behavior of polymers . A sinusoidal stress is applied and the strain in the material is measured, allowing one to determine the complex modulus .

5. Racing slick - Wikipedia

   The first drag racing slick was developed by M&H Tires (Marvin & Harry Tires) in the early 1950s. It was the only company in the world that produced and sold original drag racing tyres. Drag racing slicks vary in size, from slicks used on motorcycles to very wide ones used on "top fuel" dragsters.

8. Airless tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airless_tire

   Airless tires are attractive to cyclists, as bicycle tires are much more vulnerable to punctures than motor vehicle tires. The drawbacks to airless tires depend on the use. Heavy equipment operators who use machinery with solid tires may become fatigued. Any airless tire will be heavier than the rubber tire it is meant to replace.

9. Goodyear Polyglas tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodyear_Polyglas_tire

   Increased fuel efficiency and tire mileage overcame the higher price of radial construction. According to a 1976 study, more police departments used steel or fabric radial-ply tires than belted bias-ply and bias or cross-ply tires for their pursuit cars. [15] Goodyear Polyglas tires are now manufactured for owners of period cars. [16]
