The Specials: Tyres for Unique Tasks

All tires for cars may look the same, but are not. All-terrain tires have different characteristics to maximize performance for specific types of use. However, these differences are insignificant when one considers that different tires competitive offerings. Take rally car tires. They face a wide range of surfaces in many different weather conditions. Moreover, rally car tires usually have to be street legal and should last more than racing tires. Consideration of two types of rally car tires in more detail gives an idea of how various factors interact with the tires. The tire coating of gravel to clean the top of soft material or gravel, as well as car tires to evacuate rainwater. To do this, they have large blocks that are relatively soft thick rubber. This allows the tread blocks grip while protecting the reinforcement layers that are below them. The tread and casing rigid enough to resist tearing, while being flexible enough to ensure their return to the lifestyle of initial hardness and long term. Snow / ice tire boasts an efficient, besides being able to improve. Some may have up to 380 carbide tipped studs in the tread. This is hard on the surface below the rim, but the surface can be hard on the pins themselves. At 75 miles per hour, every bolt hits the snow or ice 17 times - every second! The impressive part - other than (most) of the pins are still present when the car stops - is that the machine is running on a total of 50 stallions at any time. The tacos that offers the total area and the size of a postage stamp. In some cases, the tires have no tread at all. These are called slick tires and are used in endurance racing. Top Fuel Dragster "are faster and can reach 330 km / h in less than 4.45 seconds - the time needed to cover the quarter mile. Accelerate faster than the space shuttle launch vehicles or aircraft catapult launched fighter, as required by a lot of grip, as can be found. E 'common to all types of dragster to do something memorable. The driver of parking spaces for their rear tires are sitting in two pools of water always close the start of the drag strip. The driver applies power to the rear wheels spinning in the water. The immediate result is huge clouds of smoke and steam rubber around the tail of a car that still stands almost full speed in practice. But this is not for show. After a 'burn out' like this, the tires' tread surfaces are extremely hot and humid - and therefore depletion. Often, Drag Racing Tires look decidedly soft as the car approaches the starting line. This is not surprising, because the used tire pressure is 12-15 psi mark. Why so soft? For two reasons. tires give better grip soft but have another advantage. As the wheels spin faster, bigger tires. This is like putting bigger wheels in the same car, drivers get a faster than radial expansion of the tires. As you can see, even these two forms of motor sport, tires are essential. Do what you asked for them and thereby increase the performance of the car involved in any sport is concerned. Think about it the next you find yourself believing tires are all the same !
