Tyre Guide Tire Structure Tire Sidewall Sizes & Specs Load & Speed Home Help & Support Tyre Guide Tire Structure Tyre Structure Tread, shoulder, sidewall, bead, carcass, belt, inner liner, and other components are structurally connected to complete the scientific structure of a tyre. * Click the buttons to see the names and functions of each part. Tread : Part of the tyre which has direct contact with the roads surface The tread consists of a thick layer of rubber which comes into direct contact with the road surface. It is highly resistant to fracture and shock in order to protect the carcass and belt located in the tyres interior. Rubber with strong anti-inner abrasion features is used to increase the tyres driving lifespan. Shoulder : The shoulder of the tyre Located between the tread and sidewall the shoulder is made up of the thickest layer of rubber in the entire tyre, making it easy to dispel heat that is accumulated inside the tyre whilst driving. Sidewall : The side (lateral part) of the tyre Located between the tyres shoulder and bead the sidewall protects the carcass and increases ride-ability with its flexible extension and contraction movements. This part of the tyre also contains a great deal of information such as the tyre type, standard, structure, pattern, manufacturing company and brand name. Carcass : The framework of the tyre The carcass is the framework of the tyre, the most important part. Referring to all layers made up of tyre cord where internal air pressure, weight and shock are absorbed. Breaker or Belt : The layer in between the tread and carcass The breaker is a cord layer placed in-between the tread and carcass in a bias tyre to protect the carcass absorbing external shock and preventing splintering or injury to the tread from coming into direct contact with the carcass. The belt is a strong reinforcement layer located in the circumference between the tread and carcass in radial and belt tyres. It's functions are similar to those of the breaker whilst also reinforcing the strength of the tread by firmly tightening the carcass. Bead : The part that is in contact with the rim The bead wraps around the end of the cord and fixes the tyre to the rim. It is made up of various parts including the bead wire, core, rubber and flipper. In general the rim is slightly tightened so in the case of sudden reduction of air pressure whilst driving the tyre will not become unfastened from the rim. Inner Liner The inner liner substitutes for the tube in the tyres interior, consisting of a layer of rubber with superior airtight qualities which maintains air inside the tyre. The rubber generally consists of butyl, a synthetic rubber or a polyisoprene type.

Brand Name Product Name Tyre Size Safety Warning UTQG Place of Introduction DOT DOT(Department of Transportation) UTQG(Uniform Tyre Quality Grading) Treadwear Each tyre shall be graded for treadwear performance with the word ''TREADWEAR'' followed by a number of two or three digits representing the tyre's grade for treadwear, expressed as a percentage of the NHTSA nominal treadwear value. Treadwear grades shall be expressed in multiples of 20 (for example, 80, 120, 160). Traction Each tyre shall be graded for traction performance with the word ''TRACTION,'' followed by the symbols AA, A, B, or C. They represent the tyre's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. Temperature The temperature grades, from highest to lowest, are A, B and C.These represent the tyre's ability to dissipate heat under controlled indoor test conditions. Any tyre rated below C is considered unacceptable. Tyre Size Tyre spec notation varies according to car model but primarily consists of symbols and numbers denoting tyre width, aspect ratio, diameter, load index and speed symbol that indicate tyre performance. Place of Introduction This indicates the region where the tyre was manufactured. Safety Warning This indicates important information related to tyre use.

Tyre Guide Tire Structure Tire Sidewall Sizes & Specs Load & Speed Home Help & Support Tyre Guide Load & Speed Load & Speed The symbol that shows a tyres performance level consists of two parts: Tyre performance is marked by load index(LI) and speed symbol(SS). LI refers to the maximum weight that one tyre can support and SS refers to the maximum speed that a tyre can handle. Load Index(LI) Load index is a numerical code stipulating the maximum load each tyre can carry. For example, if the load index is 100, it means that a tyre can carry a load up to 800kg.

Wheel Alignment - Tire Care Guide | Hankook Tire Malaysia site

Care Guide Tire Pressure Tread Wear Rotation Balance Wheel Alignment Replacement Storage Truck & Bus Tyre Usage Guide Hankook Tire Vietnam site Home Help & Support Care Guide Wheel Alignment Wheel Alignment To prevent vibration, skidding, noise, and wear, wheel alignment inspection is necessary. Learn about useful information regarding wheel alignment and how to perform an inspection. The Importance of Wheel Alignment If your tyres are wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tyre wearing faster than the rest of the tread, your vehicle may be out of alignment. This conditions not only shorten the life of your tyres but adversely affect the handling characteristics of your vehicle, which could be dangerous. If you detect irregular wear, have your alignment checked immediately. Aspects of Wheel Alignment Caster Camber Toe Caster Caster angle settings when compared (from the side) allow the vehicle manufacturer to balance steering effort, high speed stability and front end cornering effectiveness. Increasing the amount of positive caster will increase steering effort and straight line tracking as well as improving high speed stability and cornering effectiveness, whereas decreasing positive caster results in less steering stability. Camber The camber prevents tyre abrasion and increases steering manipulation. According to the angle at which the top or bottom portion of a tyre pulls inward or outward when the car is on a flat surface, there are three types of camber: positive, negative and neutral. With the development of suspension and auto technology, most vehicles today have negative camber. In the case of negative camber, the car tilts when cornering due to centrifugal force. The outer tyres area of contact with the road surface increases, which allows for safe cornering. Toe The toe refers to the directional difference between the front and back of a tyre formed by the upper part of an axis on a flat plane. There are two types of toe: toe-in and toe-out. Toe-in indicates the tyres front part pulled inward and toe-out indicates the tyres front part pulled outward. In the case of severe toe-out, abrasion occurs on the tyres inner surface. In the case of severe toe-in, abrasion occurs on the tyres outer surface. Both cases experience a high degree of resistance from the road surface, which results in decreased drivability and greater fuel cost. A controlled degree of toe-in increases safety in straight line driving and offsets inner abrasion that occurs due to negative camber. When to Check Wheel Alignment We recommend checking wheel alignment during an annual inspection or for every 20,000 km driven. An inspection is required when, The car has been in an accident. After tyre replacement. When there is abnormal tread wear on the tyres shoulder. When the handling is unstable and/or wobbles. When ride quality has become rougher or fuel economy has declined.
