Choosing the best make of tyre
Car tyres are either radial or diagonally built. Tyres where the fabric runs diagonally at 45-50 degree angles off the ground are called cross ply or diagonal tyres. While tyres where the fabric is placed perpendicular to the direction of the ground are called radial tyres.
Tubeless and tubed tyres
Technology today has introduced the tubeless tyre which is by far, much more superior and safer than tubed tyre. Tubed tyres hold an inner tube between the exterior of the tyre and the rim, which contains the air under pressure. The tube is filled through a nozzle and is made of a rubber that is low on air release. Tubeless tyres on the other hand, don’t carry tubes. Air is trapped between the tyre and rim with the help of an airtight seal. An inner liner in the tyre holds the air in place and keeps from deflation.
Advantages of tubeless tyres
Tubeless tyres have a number of pros to tubed tyres. Here are a few reasons why they are an increasingly preferred choice:
- Tubeless tyres show a lower rate of deflation, in case of puncture. This means fewer probabilities of losing control of the vehicle.
- You can continue to drive with a tubeless tyre, even after suffering from a puncture, as it releases air slowly and without a sudden change of pressure.
- Tubeless tyres offer lighter wheel assembly which translates to increased comfort with less vibration and resistance, as a result of which there is a marked improvement to fuel efficiency.
- Less friction caused due to absence of an inner tube heightens tyre life.
