2E-2 TIRES AND WHEELS

GENERAL

Tire And Wheel Balancing
There are two types of the tire and wheel balancing:
static and dynamic.
Static balance is the equal distribution of weight around
the wheel. Assemblies that are statically unbalanced
cause a bouncing action called wheel tramp. This
condition may eventually cause uneven tire wear.
Dynamic balance is the equal distribution of weight on
each side of the centerline so that when the assembly
spins there is no tendency for it to move from side to
side. Assemblies that are dynamically unbalanced may
cause wheel shimmy.
General Balance Precautions
Remove all deposits of foreign material from the inside
of the wheel.
Caution: Remove stones from the tread in order to
avoid operator injury during spin balancing.
Inspect the tire for any damage. Balance the tire

Structure of Tubeless Tube
The tire structure is different slightly according to the
types of the tire but a various type of the tire has the
common structure as following;
1. Tread
A part (that contacts) road surfaces directly is fixed
on the outsude of carcass and breaker.
It is a strong rubber coat made of high anti-abrasion
rubber. Its running performance depends on is
surface profile.

2. Breaker
A cord belt between tread and carcass prevents
damages of inner code due to outer shock and
vibration.
3. Carcass
This major part made by pilling code papers of
strong synthetic fiber forms a structure of tire. Since
it maintains tire pressure and endures applied load
and shock to tire, it should have a high anti-fatigue
characteristic.
4. Side Wall
It is provided to improve the comfortable driving
by protecting carcass and cushion movement.
5. Bead
A steel wire winding the ending part of carcass
code, coated with rubber film and wrapped with
nylon cord papers. It fixes tire to a rim.
