Wheels and Tyres 3/03/21
To understand the construction and terminology associated with wheels and tyres
2
Multiple Choice
Which one of the tyres below is asymmetrical
3
Multiple Choice
Which tyre size has 17 inch diameter wheels
195/65/R16
185/45/R18
175/65/R15
215/45/R17
4
Multiple Choice
The law requires car tyres to have a minimum tread depth of
1.0mm across the central three-quarters of the width of the tyre and around the entire circumference
1.5mm across the central three-quarters of the width of the tyre and around the entire circumference
1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the width of the tyre and around the entire circumference
1.3mm across the central three-quarters of the width of the tyre and around the entire circumference
5
Multiple Choice
It does not matter which way round directional tyres are fitted
True
False
6
Multiple Choice
All vehicle tyres are the same and can be fitted to any vehicle
True
False
7
Common Types of wheel
Alloy wheels
Pressed steel
Space saver
Split rim
8
Multiple Select
3 reasons Alloy wheels are used
Light ( lowers unsprung weight )
looks good
Its strong
adds BHP
better road handling
9
Main construction of radial and cross ply tyres
The casing consists of plies which are looped around the beads to form a case. The difference in structure is the arrangement of the plies.
10
3 advantages of a radial tyre
less rolling resistance giving better fuel economy
improved tread life
improved traction (grip).
11
Multiple Choice
Which of the following is a means of indicating tyre wear?
Wear bars in tyre tread
Pressure sensor inside tyre
Self sealing compound inside tyre
Special service tyre
12
Multiple Choice
There are two main types of tyre construction: radial and cross ply.
True
False
13
Tyre tread
Symmetrical - deliver smooth driving, high directional stability, and low rolling resistance. Directional - provide high protection against aquaplaning, excellent handling on snow and mud, and very good road-holding at high speeds.
Asymmetric - offer excellent handling, high curve stability, and good grip in wet conditions.
14
Tyre tread pattern design
Tread compound: grip, wear rate, flexibility, rolling resistance, etc.
Circumferential grooves: steerability and water dispersal
Cross ribs (lateral notches): traction and mud evacuation
Blocks: provide high mileage performance and good grip
15
Multiple Choice
which vehicle most suits block tread pattern ?
family car
off road vehicle
high performance
a camel
16
Multiple Choice
which vehicle most suits symmetric tread pattern ?
High performance
off road vehicle
family car
tractor
17
Multiple Choice
which vehicle most suits an asymmetrical tread pattern ?
off road vehicle
High performance
family car
wheel barrow
18
Tyre bead
Tyre beads sit on the wheel and seal the air inside
19
Tyre markings
M+S = Mud and snow
P = passenger car
215 = tyre width in mm
65 = aspect ratio
R = radial
15 = rim diameter (inch)
95H = load index and speed rating
20
Multiple Choice
Which of the following is a means of indicating tyre wear?
Wear bars in tyre tread
Pressure sensor inside tyre
Self sealing compound inside tyre
Special service tyre
21
