What Is Pneumatic Tire?
Filled by air,
especially compressed
air: a pneumatic tire
(dictionary definition).
All tires manufactured
today are considered
Pneumatic tires.

Who Invented The First Tire?
It was invented in
1888, by John Dunlop.
This would be the end
of the solid tire.
![Page 6: Tire Tech 101 - eng.sut.ac.theng.sut.ac.th/me/2014/document/AdvanAutoTech/CSD_2_Wheel_Tire… · TIRE GRADING Uniform Tire Quality Grading System Code UTQGS TREAD WEAR: Tire life](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060720/6080634ab0e2b760390c8c06/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why are Tires Black?
To protect the rubber
from the harmful UV
rays.
A common type of UV
stabilizer called a
competitive absorber is
added to capture and
absorb these harmful
UV light wave energy.

Bias Ply Tire
A bias ply tire has
plies running at an
angle from bead to
bead.
The cord angle is also
reversed from ply to
ply.
Tread is bonded
directly to the top ply.
![Page 8: Tire Tech 101 - eng.sut.ac.theng.sut.ac.th/me/2014/document/AdvanAutoTech/CSD_2_Wheel_Tire… · TIRE GRADING Uniform Tire Quality Grading System Code UTQGS TREAD WEAR: Tire life](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060720/6080634ab0e2b760390c8c06/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Belted Bias Tire
Is a bias tire with belts
added to increase tread
stiffness.
These belts are also
ran at a different
angle.
These belts only lie on
the tread area and not
on the side walls, like
cords.
![Page 9: Tire Tech 101 - eng.sut.ac.theng.sut.ac.th/me/2014/document/AdvanAutoTech/CSD_2_Wheel_Tire… · TIRE GRADING Uniform Tire Quality Grading System Code UTQGS TREAD WEAR: Tire life](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060720/6080634ab0e2b760390c8c06/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Radial Ply Tire
Has plies running straight
across from bead to bead
with stabilizer belts lying
directly beneath the tread.
This results in the radial
having flexible side wall,
but a stiff tread.
Michelin developed it in
1955! 50 years ago!
– Sears imported them in the
1970s

Tire Size
If you switch tire size on a car you can mess up the
speedometer to figure out how close you are do the math
to figure out the diameter.
For a 205/75R15 tire it would look like this
205 X .75 x 2 ÷ 25.4 + 15= 27.106
Tire size X Aspect ratio X 2 ÷ 25.4 + Rim size
100
![Page 19: Tire Tech 101 - eng.sut.ac.theng.sut.ac.th/me/2014/document/AdvanAutoTech/CSD_2_Wheel_Tire… · TIRE GRADING Uniform Tire Quality Grading System Code UTQGS TREAD WEAR: Tire life](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060720/6080634ab0e2b760390c8c06/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Aspect Ratio
Percentage of tires height in relation to it’s width
A 60 series tire height will be 60% of the width.
The aspect ratio can be a 40,50, 60,65,70,75,78
These are some of the most common ones.
![Page 20: Tire Tech 101 - eng.sut.ac.theng.sut.ac.th/me/2014/document/AdvanAutoTech/CSD_2_Wheel_Tire… · TIRE GRADING Uniform Tire Quality Grading System Code UTQGS TREAD WEAR: Tire life](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060720/6080634ab0e2b760390c8c06/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Aspect Ratio
So if we have a P205/60R15 tire. The width is
205 millimeters and the height is 60% of the
width. That means 205 x .6 = 123 millimeters.
That tire should be 123 millimeters tall.
You can raise or lower your car by changing the
height of the side wall.

SERVICE DESCRIPTION
On most tires, you will notice some additional numbers and letters
located at the end of the tire size.
For Example:
P185/70R14 92S
In this example the 92S is called the SERVICE DESCRIPTION.
The Service Description consists of two parts, LOAD INDEX (the
numbers) and SPEED RATING(the letter).
The SPEED RATING is a letter which designates the rating
achieved on indoor wheel testing.
![Page 22: Tire Tech 101 - eng.sut.ac.theng.sut.ac.th/me/2014/document/AdvanAutoTech/CSD_2_Wheel_Tire… · TIRE GRADING Uniform Tire Quality Grading System Code UTQGS TREAD WEAR: Tire life](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060720/6080634ab0e2b760390c8c06/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Load Index
The LOAD INDEX is a number ranging from 0 to 279 and covers
load capacities from the smallest motorcycle tires to those for the
largest earth mover tires. In passenger car tires, the load index
typically ranges from 75 to 100.
As in aspect ratio where the operative word was ratio, in load
index the operative word here is index. An index is a point of
reference or a chart to refer to find information. All tire guides
used by retail tire stores have them and they have load index charts
in them. By referring to the load index chart in the Tire Guide you
can determine the maximum load carrying capacity of a tire size
from using the load index number at the end of the P-Metric size.
For Example:
Load Index Max Load (lbs.)
91 1356
92 1389
93 1433

Effects of speed on a tire
Tires are tested under Laboratory conditions they are not worn
out, are properly inflated, not over loaded, damaged or altered.
Just because the tire is rated at these speeds does not mean the
car is safe or legal to drive at those speeds.

Tire pressure Tire pressure should be check monthly
Tire pressure should be checked cold
For every 10° Fahrenheit change in air temperature, your tire's inflation pressure will change by about 1 psi
The air pressure in the tire supports the car, make sure that it is the right amount.
If you check the air pressure inside the shop at a temperature of 70° will the tires be the right pressure when it goes outside at 0°?

Nitrogen in tires
Nitrogen is a dry inert gas. That means
moisture free.
Nitrogen leaks out of the sidewall three
times slower then oxygen.
Oxygen oxidizes the rubber in the sidewall.
Plus the moisture in the air will rust the
steel rims.

Tire Replacement One problem with replacing just one tire on FWD,
AWD or 4X4’s is that you have a different size tire
when you measure the circumference this creates a
problems with the transaxles and drive trains. It
also cause’s problems with traction control and
ABS stopping. Tires need to be rotated at least
every 7500 miles and if one tire is damaged on one
of these cars all 4, count them FOUR tires need to
be changed. Tread depth should be maintained
within 4/32 of each tire.

How to measure a rim
You need to measure from bead seat to bead seat. But you
cannot measure from the inside with a tape measure take
a good guess where it is on the outside. This one is 14 inch’s.

How to measure a rim
To find the diameter you measure the circumference (C) and divide
it by Pi (3.14) ( C ÷ Pi = Diameter )
44 ÷ 3.14 = 14.0127 So it is really a 14 inch rim
That math class is important.

Wheel Balance Improper balance causes the tire to vibrate
several types of balancers, Bubble balancers,
on car balancers and off car balancers shown.
Some are hand spun and some are powered

Wheel Balance
Make sure when you balance a tire to use the right
adapter some wheels are Hub centric or lug centric that
means does it center on the Hub or the lugs most cars
from the factory are Hub centric but some after marker
wheels are lug centric
If you think that your balancer is not working right or
the wheel is off check the balance rotate it 180 degrees
and rebalance it. It should have the same readings.

Changes in TP affect tire circumference, affecting tire
speed
Sensors monitor each wheels speed, compares to one
another
Approx. 7 psi difference to trigger warning

Tire Pressure Monitoring
Before you do any work on these cars, make sure that
the warning lights are off before you work on the car.
If you mount or dismount the tire and it was not
working right before, you could be blamed for causing
a problem.
You need to do this with all cars and with all warning
lights such as, check engine & ABS etc.
