2E – 2 TIRES AND WHEELS

TIRE

Tread
A part (that contacts) road surfaces directly is fixed on
the outside of carcass and breaker. It is a strong rubber
coat made of high anti–abrasion rubber. Its running per-
formance depends on is surface profile.
Breaker
A cord belt between tread and carcass prevents dam-
ages of inner code due to outer shock and vibration.
Carcass
This major part made by pilling code papers of strong
synthetic fiber forms a structure of tire. Since it main-
tains tire pressure and endures applied load and shock
to tire, it should have a high anti–fatigue characteristic.
Bead
A steel wire winding the ending part of carcass code,
coated with rubber film and wrapped with nylon cord pa-
pers. It fixes tire to a rim.
Tube
Tires used in mostly current vehicle are mostly tubeless
tires.
Side Wall
It is provided to improve the comfortable driving by pro-
tecting carcass and cushion movement.
