2. Bead breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bead_breaker

   A tire bead is held in the groove by air pressure. A bead breaker is a tool used for separating tires from rims. The innermost diameter of the tire that interfaces with the rim of a wheel is called the tire bead. The bead is a thicker section of rubber, and is reinforced with braided steel cables, called the bead bundle. [1]

3. 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 ...

4. Tire changer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_changer

   The bead loosener on the right side of a tire changer. The bead loosening system releases the tire bead from the rim of the wheel. The bead loosening system consists of an arm near the bottom right side of the tire changer. There is a shovel shaped metal piece at the end of the arm called the bead loosener shoe.

5. 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. In situations where tire ...

   These coefficients are then used to generate equations showing how much force is generated for a given vertical load on the tire, camber angle and slip angle. [5] The Pacejka tire models are widely used in professional vehicle dynamics simulations, and racing car games, as they are reasonably accurate, easy to program, and solve quickly.

7. 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.
