The role of the tire

The role of the tire

A car consists of tens of thousands of parts, and each part generally plays only one role. Tyres are also one of the parts of a car. However, it plays a different role than other parts. It plays the following four roles in driving a car.

● bear the load

The weight of a car, whether it is its own weight, or whether it is a passenger or a load, must be transmitted to the tires through the body of the car, and the tires must bear the full burden. Therefore, the tires play a very important role in carrying.

● Generate driving force and braking force

Because the tire is the only part of the car that is in contact with the road surface, therefore, whether the car is started, traveled, braked, or stopped, it must “communicate” with the road surface through the tire and complete the wishes of the driver of the car or car through the tire.

● cushioning and shock absorption

Unpaved roads are mostly bumpy gravel roads. There will be a lot of gravel or pits and bags on the road. Even if it is paved, there are often obstacles that affect the normal driving of the car. In this case, the tire will exert its excellent cushioning and shock-absorbing capabilities, allowing the car to move forward with more comfort. This is because the tire itself is made of about 50% elastic rubber, and the excellent shock-absorbing function of the air in the tire enables the car to travel comfortably on rough roads.

● Change the driving direction of the car

Whether it is a turn or a turn, the car needs to be completed by the car's tires. It often needs to change the direction of the car in accordance with the driver's wishes.

Because the tire has the above-mentioned four major functions, the automobile can run safely, freely, quickly, and comfortably on uneven roads; because it has the above four functions, the tire is only used in parts of the entire automobile. It is very important.

In fact, we can use one sentence to summarize the role and importance of a tire: When a person sits in a car, then the person is actually completely handed over to the car, and when the car is in motion, it is actually all handed in. Four tires were given. Once a problem arises with a tire, whether it is a vehicle or a person in the vehicle, it will be subject to great danger. Therefore, every driver should be very concerned about their own tires.
