Tire Construction Components
* Construction materials used by each tire manufacturer are
chosen with their own technology in mind.
* Each component of a tire is designed to provide benefits specifically related
to its function, while working together with all other components
Example:
* The belt system's main function is to provide stability to the tread area of
the tire, which contributes to wear, handling & traction.
* The belt system must also work in unison with the tire's sidewall & tread to
achieve traction & cornering capabilities.
* Tire components are assembled like a puzzle & molded together in the curing
process.
* This process causes all of the tire components & rubber compounds to adhere
to their surrounding components, resulting in a singular product.
